Revel in Resistance
Come out to celebrate the victory of the Global Justice Movement against the World Trade Organization (WTO) in September – won by the grassroots power that was generated in the streets of Cancun, Mexico, and all over the world. The event will include a commemoration of Korean farmer Lee Kyong Hae, who took his life in an act of protest against unjust WTO policies, and video footage from the anti-WTO action in Washington, DC.
It's all happening at the Latin Jazz Alley, 1721 Columbia Rd. NW, on Thursday, Oct. 9, at 9 p.m. Proceeds will be used to subsidize travel to Miami and Fort Benning, Ga., for the actions in November against the FTAA and the SOA. For more information, call 202/234-3440 or visit this website.
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
