NEWS
Statement from the Black Overalls
This Is What Direct Action Looks Like
NEFAC Statement
The World Bank and International Monetary Fund control more investment
capital and have more policy influence in the world economy than any other
institutions. They restructure economies for neocolonialism, steering
production to elite markets, while locals suffer for basic needs. They
lower wages, proliferate sweatshops and repress organized labor. Their
development projects are environmentally destructive. They privatize
education, health care and water; burdens felt most heavily by women
world-wide.
Donate to the Convergence!
We're trying to raise at least $5000.

THE PEOPLE's REPO / September 21-24, 2001
...Taking back our homes, taking back our communities...
Days of Action, Action Training and Issue Workshops
The People's Repo is about people taking back what they need. A primary focus of the weekend will be on urban squatting; illustrating the correlation between
gentrification, the stockpiles of abandoned buildings in many US cities, and increasing homelessness. Other focus ideas include: land struggles around the
world, the role of the WB/IMF and WTO in global corporate control, the growing prison industrial complex, the criminalization of poverty and homelessness,
rent strikes, and tenant rights issues.

Local Issues:
Inside the Marriott Public Charter High School
|
 A school that trains highschoolers how to open doors for customers, on the job etiquette. Ever thought that school was just a boot camp to teach you how to work for rich people? At least other high schools try to hide their motives and at times you can find teachers who really care and want you to learn. But at the Marriott Hospitality Public Charter High School administrators try very hard to produce happy waitresses and doormen.
