Our world is not for sale
Brighton S24 Counter-conference and demo
Against Blair's Third Way
Against the IMF/World Bank
Against the debt
Support is building day by day across Britain for the demonstration against the IMF and the World Bank in Prague at the end of the month.
Over 1000 people from Italy and more than 700 from Norway are planning to descend on Prague. From Britain, Jubilee 2000 are mobilising for the September 24 demonstration and organising ( relatively ) cheap transport, while other activists are planning to get across Europe in a myriad of different ways.
While some are planning to be in Prague for the whole gamut of events leading up to the weekend as well as the main actions on 24 and 26, others are focusing on the final protest on September 26.
S24 Counter-Conference
Meanwhile the counter-conference organised for Brighton on September 24 is also attracting a good deal of interest. An impressive panel of speakers will address many key aspects of the neo-liberal offensive from the destruction of the environment to attacks on refugees, from the arms trade to the debt crisis which is devastating so many of the poorer countries on the planet. Workshops will allow campaigners to share experiences of resistance. The conference will end with a protest march to the new Labour conference taking place down the road.
