WSF Report from India
Last month at the World Social Forum (WSF) in Mumbai, India, more than 100,000 people from over 100 countries gathered to organize an opposition to global inequality, hunger and war and to create an alternative to a world that puts profits before people. Come hear reports from activists who attended the WSF, and participate in a discussion about the upcoming mobilization against the World Bank and IMF here in Washington. The event is at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 11, at St. Stephen’s Church (16th and Newton Streets NW; Columbia Heights Metro). For more information, call 202/321-9378 or log on here.
