If you're a student and you're going to be in Washington, DC next weekend
for the protests against the World Bank and IMF, don't let the Bank off the
hook when you head back to school.
With the World Bank Bonds Boycott, we can keep the pressure on the World
Bank and bring socially responsible investment to our campuses. Join in
this exciting, global campaign and make your school one of the first in the
nation to go World Bank-free.
How can you get started? Come to an information/strategy session on the WB
Bonds Boycott on Friday, September 27, from 5:15-6:30pm, at the "End
Corporate Rule; Global Struggles Against the IMF and World Bank" Teach-In.
The teach-in will be at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church at 1313 New
York Ave., N.W in Washington, DC.
The workshop will be hosted by the Sierra Student Coalition and the Center
for Economic Justice. There'll be an introduction to the idea of the WBBB,
how organizations are working on it all around the world, what a campus WBBB
campaign might look like, and sharing ideas on how to go back and start a
WBBB on YOUR campus this semester, before the Bank can make approve one more
bad project or policy.
