Financial markets in turmoil, energy price rises, food riots, violent conflicts and environmental disasters. And whatever the disaster, poor and marginalised people are always affected the most.... It doesn't have to be this way.

'Ain't no power like the power of the people cos the power of the people don't stop...'

Global Justice Action protests started at 5:30am as delegates to the IMF / WORLD BANK scurried to their imperialism meeting trying to avoid us. After street blockades using lock boxes and bodies failed to stop their busses, we converged together. We decided not to march in front of the complex, turned around...and got attacked, maced, and beat.

Another view of the street protests against the World Bank/IMF Spring meetings 2009 in Washington DC, USA.

If you've never researched the IMF or WTO, now is the time to do so.

Resist for your own good,

Resist for all of us...

Street Protest against the World Bank's involvement in the United Nations Climate Change processes. the World Bank is a major investor in oil, mining and gas, and building infrastructure for the global fossil fuel economy. so it is worse than hypocritical for it to set itself up as the body to channel international assistance finance for responding and adapting to climate change.

With so much wealth in the world,
why is there still poverty?
