Come see a free screening of "The Corporation," an amazing documentary about the origins and rise to power of the modern corporation.

There will also be a discussion entitled "Neoliberalism 101." It's an economics discussion by and for people who hate economics. What is Neoliberalism and how does it affect us? Who the hell is Milton Friedman? WTF is the WTO?

Plus fun games!

NorthEast Anarchist Network: "Direct Action = Solidarity. Confront the Bankers in April!"

Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 04/06/2009 - 16:29

The NorthEast Anarchist Network is endorsing the "Self Described Anarchist Collective" and Global Justice Action calls for a diversity of tactics, including direct action, to disrupt the Spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in Washington, DC. Even in this era of uncontrolled economic retraction and collapse, the IMF and World Bank continue to reach for their misleading, self-proclaimed objective of "eradicating poverty", while paradoxically ignoring the needs of poor and indigenous communities.
