>===========
>S26 GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION AGAINST THE IMF, WB & CAPITALISM
>
>Following the global days of action against capitalism of May 1998 (Global 
>Street Party vs G8 Summit), June 1999 (Carnivals against Capitalism vs G7 
>Summit), November 1999 (Mobilisation vs WTO ministerial) and May 2000 
>(reclaiming Mayday), comes "S26"....
>
>From 26-28 September 2000 the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the 
>World Bank (WB) hold their AGM meetings in Prague, Czech Republic. These 
>bodies perpetuate misery, debt and poverty throughout the world by imposing 
>'structural adjustment programs', lending money to corrupt regimes, and 
>demanding socially and ecologically bankrupt but economically 'stimulating' 
>measures, such as dam-building.
>
>Already thousands of activists, campaigners, concerned citizens globally 
>have pledged to go to Prague to shut the meetings down, with many many more 
>acting in solidarity in their home towns.
>
>There is now a group working in Bristol to help (i) send activist groups to 
>Prague, and (ii) organise activities around S26 in Bristol.
>
>The Bristol Group is keen to publicise the S26 events, and let ordinary 
>people know what the IMF & WB and the other capitalist institutions do, and 
>to let people know that there are alternatives, and that they can make a 
>difference.
>
>Help is needed to:
>
>PUBLICISE - posters, flyers, banners, pirate radio programmes, chatting to 
>people, email your friends, discussion lists, doing info stalls at 
>festivals, connecting and linking up with other people locally....
>
>DECIDE WHAT TO DO IN BRISTOL - info-shops, counter summits, street theatre, 
>RTS, critical mass bike rides, strikes, demos, sabotage, office occupations, 
>all these and much more have been suggested. Not everyone has to be involved 
>in everything - organise autonomously!
>
>DECIDE WHAT TO DO IN PRAGUE - maps, photo sets, language skills, local 
>knowledge, inspiration, friends, crash space, equipment, training; all this 
>and more could be uselful (esp Czech speakers so Bristol agitprop can be 
>translated into the home language, to help communicate with locals in 
>Prague, and basic vocab lessons)
>
>RAISE MONEY! - as ever
>=============================
>
>So if you're interested get in touch. There will be a Bristol S26 collective 
>presence at Ashton Court to raise awareness, and at the Zapatista! film 
>showing at the Cube Cinema (King Square BS2) on 13 July.
