NEW YORK CITY DIRECT ACTION NETWORK/ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE

JOIN THE FIGHT AGAINST THE G8 IN NEW YORK!

Wednesday, June 26, 5 p.m., at the International Monetary Fund offices,
E45th Street and Second Avenue

Solidarity with activists gathering around the world in opposition to the
summit of the world's chief terrorists!

On June 26 and 27, the Group of 8 -- the so-called leaders of the
industrialized world -- will gather under massive security in the secluded
Canadian ski resort of Kananaskis for their annual meeting.

They can run, but they can't hide.

Last year in Genoa, George W. Bush, Tony Blair, Vladimir Putin, and their
fraternity brothers were greeted by massive direct-action protests. Not
just in Genoa but in cities all over the world, outrage at the rapacious,
corporate-dictated agenda being hatched by our political "leaders" spilled
over in rallies, marches, occupations, and festivals that brought hundreds
of thousands of people together. This despite an escalation of state
violence that reached its height when Carlo Giuliani, a young Italian
activist, was gunned down by police in Genoa.

This year, the Kananaskis gathering of the G8 will once again be the focal
point of global protests. And once again, New York City activists will be
gathering in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Canada and around
the world, sending an unmistakable message that we reject the G8 and its
plans for our future.

We are calling for all New York activists on behalf of global justice to
rally on Wednesday, June 26, for an end to the agenda of corporate
globalization and state repression and violence. We are calling for a
colorful, festive, and creative event that draws on every facet of New
York's own proud culture of resistance.

Rally, march, form affinity groups, and bring your own distinctive form of
protest! Our focal point will be a 5 p.m. march from the International
Monetary Fund offices at 828 Second Avenue to the Consulate General of
Italy at 690 Park Avenue.

Join us for a 5 p.m. march from the IMF offices at 828 Second Avenue to

semi-permanent campaign of repression against indigenous peoples from
Palestine and Iraq to Chechnya, Tibet, China, and the Philippines. This
summit of the world's warlords can only advance a global strategy that
began with the "retaliatory" campaign in Afghanistan last fall and has
since broadened into a post-Cold War remilitarization of the planet.

* We'll be in the streets to expose the responsibility of the G8 leaders
themselves for terrorism, through their rigid opposition to the rights of
peoples in the developing nations it exploits to decide their own future.

The G8 is about trade as well as terror -- the corporate-led trade agenda
that is crushing indigenous communities, workers' rights, and economic
self-determination around the planet. The IMF, the World Bank, the World
Trade Organization -- all take their marching orders from the ministers
gathered at the G8 Summit. And each year, the G8 attempts to dress up its
economic demolition project with pathetically inadequate, token efforts at
"debt relief" and "development initiatives" for developing countries. This
year the focus will be on Africa, with the so-called "New Partnership for
Africa's Development."

* We'll be in the streets to expose this travesty, which is built on the
same failed economic strategies that have kept Africa impoverished all
along.

G8 leaders have declared democracy dead by forging a policy of zero
tolerance for mass dissent against their schemes. Since the anti-WTO
actions in Seattle three years ago, that policy has escalated into an
undeclared war on activists who dare to bring their message directly to
the G8. Carlo Giuliani's death was only one of many that the global
justice movement has suffered -- over 30 died in anti-IMF actions in
Argentina last December, for example. But Carlo's death, and the shocking
failure of the Italian authorities to enforce any accountability for this
crime, underscore the fact that the life of an activist is considered less
important than the ability of the G8 heads of state to drink their
cocktails in quiet.

* We'll be in the streets to show that Carlo's death has not been
forgotten, and demand an end to repression against activists.

The G8 has served above all to cement the global overlordship of the
United States. By endorsing Bush's phony "war on terrorism" without
consulting their own people in any way, the leaders of these "democracies"
have cleared up any illusion that their people have the right to
self-determination. By cutting deals giving the U.S. the latitude to
invade Iraq in exchange for free rein in his genocidal war on Chechnya,
Russian President Putin has created a new partnership for repression that
the U.S. has already extended to client states like Turkey, Israeli, and
the Philippines. With it, the people of these countries lose their ability
to choose any but the future of corporate takeover and financial servitude
that Washington has prescribed for the rest of the world.

* We'll be in the streets to demand an end to the imperial America the G8
is so eager to endorse.

Show your resistance to the G8's politics of war and economic repression!
Show your solidarity with the many thousands of others around the planet
who will be in the streets to take back their lives and their futures!
