The Masquerade Project writes: "The clouds of toxic gas over Quebec City and Genoa show one thing we can all expect during the September 29-30 demonstrations against the World Bank and IMF in Washington, DC: lots of tear gas and pepper spray where people gather on the streets to express their vision of a just and sustainable world.



We at the Masquerade Project want to make sure that our sisters and brothers have the protection they need—and we also think it's time for an aesthetic intervention on the front lines of the movement for global justice. So we're organizing the DC Masquerade: raising money to buy and fabulously decorate hundreds of gas masks for free distribution at the IMF/World Bank protests.
