Anti-Capitalist Convergence-DC statement on A20 Protests

The DC ACC supports the mobilizations this April against the World Bank and International Monetary Fund and against the US war on terrorism, and in solidarity with the people of Colombia and Palestine.

Though the ACC has decided not to organize, as a group, for these protests, we do support them and plan to march in the protests on Sat the 20th as an anti-capitalist group (details coming soon). We encourage any anti-capitalists coming to DC to march with us (though we would like to stress that we are not organizing these marches and cannot provide tactical or strategic support for actions). We further heartily support autonomous actions by affinity groups coming to DC!

If you are not coming to DC we encourage you to do solidarity actions in your community to demonstrate people's broad resistance and organization.

For the Rev, DC ACC

S29 - 2002 - Anti-War march - Washington, DC

The Anti-Capitalist Convergence was formed in the Spring of 2001 to organize the anti-capitalist coalition against the September 2001 meetings of the World Bank and IMF. The ACC worked with the other coalition planning protests, the Mobilization for Global Justice, and in early September it looked like our protest was going to rival Seattle's in 1999. Then 9/11 happened, the World Bank and IMF cancelled their meetings. and numerous organizations backed out of having any protests. Many people said that militant protest wasn't possible that soon after 9/11, but the Anti-Capitalist Convergence when ahead with modified plans. On Saturday, September 29th, we had a spirited, unpermitted march from a park near Union Station to the World Bank. This march of around 2000 people included confrontations with the police, but in the end it showed that resistance was still possible in the capitol of Empire during a time of rabid flag-waving.
