INTERNATIONAL ACTIONS AGAINST THE WORLD BANK, INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND
AND THE G20
From November 16-18, the Finance Ministers and central bank governors
of the Group of 20 (G20) nations, as well as key segments of the World
Bank (WB) and International Monetary Fund (IMF) will meet in Ottawa, Ontario,
Canada.
The IMF and the World Bank, controlled by the G20 governments, are the
primary architects of neo-liberal globalization. The IMFC and the DC are
key committees, vital to the business and functioning of the World Bank
and IMF. Already hampered by the cancellation of their September meetings,
the World Bank and IMF are feeling pressure to have a successful round
of talks here in Ottawa.
It is imperative that all those who support global economic justice send
a clear message to these institutions and the planet: despite the current
climate of fear and uncertainty, the movement for global
justice continues to grow, and will not stand for continuing efforts
by these institutions to structure the world for the benefit of corporations
and the wealthy and to deny basic justice to the majority of the world's
people.
Global Democracy Ottawa and many other groups from Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal
and Quebec City have begun to mobilize for diverse and varied actions,
teach-ins and marches to be held throughout the duration of the conference.

Workshop leaders/facilitators needed! "We are deeply saddened by the tragic
events of September 11, profoundly grieved by the suffering and loss of
life. We are also very concerned, and deeply disturbed by the response
of our government, including our Congressmen and Senators Kennedy and
Kerry, in the aftermath of these events. We believe that we, as women
and residents of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, must raise our voices
in a collective call for a just and peaceful solution one that will not
cause more suffering and harm to other innocent people around the world,
one that will not perpetuate a world-wide cycle of violence. We believe
that the United States should reverse its policy of funding the military
over vital issues such as education, housing, health care and transportation.So,
as Julia Ward Howe did in 1870, we are calling on our sisters across Massachusetts
to join us for a day of dialogue and counsel. Our intention is to have
a democratic, congressional process whereby we will have time to talk
and deliberate with one another. There may be brief opening comments to
get us thinking. At the end of the day, we will have written, signed and
issued a statement supporting peace and justice in these trying times,
and agree on a plan to disseminate it effectively."

Project"
Directions:Campus Center
8th floor... Parking lots and meters are *not* enforced on Sundays!
MA Activists and media-makers of all stripes are encouraged to attend
organizing meeting for the Western Massachusetts Independent Media Center.
The vision of an independent media center for western Mass. is that of
a collective of media makers collaborating to make radio, video, and publish
the literature of the struggles in which we are engaged, and in alliance
with the burgeoning activist community in New England.
We seek to make media that resists racism, sexism, the war of the rich
on the poor, and the destruction of nature, and advocates for:
· Taking on the responsibility for making our own media and ensuring media
coverage of activist events.
· Providing media resources to the activist community.
· Documenting activism in Western Mass, and using media production as
a tool/weapon/witness for activist groups.
· Educating the public through independent media distribution.
By joining the community of IMC's at http://www.indymedia.org/,
we can plug into a global activist network and at the same time provide
a local forum for activists to publish their writing, photos, and video.
We invite all interested groups and individuals to come to our first organizing
meeting. We hope to form a collaboration of western Mass media makers
and activist groups, to produce our own work and to distribute it back
to the activist community.

Week of November 12
NATIONWIDE DOCK STRIKE? Date TBA.
Being planned for the day that the Charleston 5 dock workers go on trial,
now likely in November.
The Charleston 5, four African-American and one white, are members of
the International Longshoremen Association (ILA) who face years in prison
on felony charges for defending themselves against state troopers who
attacked their demonstration in January 2000. They are now living under
house arrest and are not allowed to speak in public. The ILA was demanding
an end to the use of the non-union stevedoring outfit, Winyah, from unloading
Nordana ships. (After the attack on the Charleston 5, dockworkers in Spain
and across Europe refused to unload Noradana ships. This forced Nordana
to again use union labor in the port of Charleston.) The police attack
came after the ILA had recently led a 50,000-strong protest against the
Confederate flag in Columbia SC - the largest protest against racism since
the civil rights movement. This union fights for everyone - it represents
the best of the labor movement. That is why the government and corporations
are intent on destroying it, especially the globalization forces that
rely on the world's ports. Info: Workers Democracy: Jay Arena, 504-314-6218,

to the voters at the hands of the legislature. This is not the final word,
however. We may be in a position to ask the Governor for a veto and then
have to defend that from being overridden by a 2/3 vote in the legislature.

Saturday December 8 FAIR TRADE COFFEE DAY OF ACTION
While the world confronts a terrorist crisis, Mexico and Central America
are facing a severe famine intensified by a crisis in the international
coffee market. Today's world market prices for coffee are at their lowest
point in history. While coffee companies reap huge profits, millions of
coffee farmers and workers face unemployment, land seizure, and starvation.
The World Food Program has estimated that 150,000 refugees have been created
as a result of this crisis. Hundreds have died, and thousands may follow.
An alliance of concerned organizations invite you to support the world's
coffee farmers on Fair Trade Coffee Day by promoting and/or purchasing
fair trade coffee in your local stores and cafes. Consumers have the power
to make a difference in farmers' lives NOW! Together we can expand the
desperately needed market for fair trade coffee and send a powerful message
to the coffee industry that consumers demand coffee free from social and
environmental exploitation. Currently, Fair Trade Certified coffee is
independently monitored by TransfairUSA (www.transfairusa.org).
