This prestigious meeting of the world economic elite, the >first of its kind in the Central and Eastern Europe, will definitely be of a >great importance. The delegates will meet to propose a scheme of further >liberalization of the world economy by defining new loan priorities and >structural adjustment conditions. > > The events in Seattle at the WTO meeting last November showed that a >huge wave of global resistance is rising against the expanding power of >global capital. The IMF/WB summit in Prague will be our next big opportunity >to express our demands for global justice. > >The Initiative Against Economic Globalization (INPEG) is a loose coalition >of various Czech environmental, human rights and autonomist/anarchist >groups, organizations and individuals who are ready to stand up critically >against the summit of the world financial oligarchy. INPEG has been meeting >regularly in Prague since last summer. It has planned a series of campaigns >that will culminate in ten days of activities starting on September 20. >Non-violent demonstrations, info campaigns, and the Festival of Art and >Resistance includinga counter-summit will be the main resistance activities >in the mentioned period. > > We will be exposing the links between the IMF/WB, the WTO and >transnational corporations and the ways how they work to maximize private >profits and limit the power of people to protect the environment, determine >their economic destiny, and safeguard their human rights. They are also >directly responsible for the third world debt. Even their debt relief >policy continues under the harsh conditions of the IMF Structural Adjustment >Programmes, and thus makes just one step forward and two steps backward. Our >goal is to give the proper name to what the policies of the IMF/WB really >cause in the South as well as in the Central and Eastern Europe. We will be >demanding an immediate suspension of these practices leading to >environmental destruction, growing social inequality and poverty and >curtailing of people’s rights. We will be demonstrating our solidarity >with the global resistance movement. > > >Your support is needed, indeed!!! > > The support, both moral and material, for the September actions in >Prague, should come from all around the world. Of course, financial >contribution is crucial, especially in the CE Europe, where financial >sources as well as the movement itself are not so developed as was for >example the case with Seattle. That is why we are issuing this urgent >appeal. Let us know if you can help us in our common struggle. > > > Please tell us whether you are planning to or campaigning already >against the Prague IMF/WB summit. > Can you bring any people to Prague? How many? > Can you organize workshops or bring own materials to spread in Prague? > Can you bring mobile sound systems and other stuff useful for street >actions? > Can you contact street artists, music bands, etc. to come to Prague >to the art/activism festival? > Can you contact renowned personalities either to take part in the >counter-summit or to publicly express support? > Are you planning to organize any other activities related to our >campaign? > Are you planning to run a parallel campaign in your country? > Can you propagate the anti-IMF/WB activities in Prague in both >alternative and mainstream media? > > > Financial contribution is the crucial thing!!!
