THE PEOPLE’s SUMMIT: TO GLOBALIZE JUSTICE AND PEACE
Thursday, September 27 and Friday, September 28
“The People’s Summit: To Globalize Justice and Peace” was
organized to coincide with the annual meetings of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund to create alternative spaces for dialogue and education, to bring together and strengthen the many strands of the Global Justice movement. In light of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, the Summit has adjusted to fit a changed local and global reality. We mourn the most recent victims of a global culture of violence, and pledge our efforts towards preventing the continued loss of life. We still believe Another World is Possible! Join us on September 27-28, in dialogue, reflection and exchange as we continue to build another world together.
