Water Privatization in Africa
Come join Africa Initiative/DC for a discussion about the role of corporations and the damaging effects of water privatization on the African continent. The inhuman policies of the IMF and World Bank demand that the poor – who can hardly afford food and education – pay for something as basic as water, something that is a natural human right. Sponsored by the Africa Freedom and Justice Coalition, the forum will take place Thursday, Jan. 15, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the American Friends Service Committee Office (2211 14th St. NW; U Street/Cardozo Metro). For more information, call Zainabu at 202/299-1050.
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.
