 \nDate: Tue, 17 Sep 2002 15:04:30 -0700\nTo: \n\n....as tens of thousands 
 take to the streets of DC against the IMF and World\nBank and the National 
 Colombia Mobilization takes place all over we will·\n\nBIKE FOR 
 COLOMBIA\nAGAINST IMF, WORLD BANK, WAR\n& THE GLOBAL OIL-IGARCHY\nMobile 
 spoken word and beatbox performance\n\nInitiated by: Bay Area Colombia 
 Mobilization and\n        Action for Local/Global Justice\n\nFossil fuels 
 are the lifeblood of the global corporatized system we live\nunder. Oil and 
 gas fuels capital- and resource-intensive transportation,\nmechanized 
 agriculture and industry imposed on local communities in every\ncorner of 
 the earth by the World, Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the\nWorld 
 Trade Organizations and the corporations and governments behind 
 them.\nControl of oil rich regions around the world has been a key factor 
 in US-led\nwars around the globe. And from Nigeria to Ecuador, Colombia, 
 Burma and\nRichmond, California, the extraction, transport, refining and 
 burning of\nfossil fuels has left an painful legacy of human rights 
 abuse,\nmilitarization, environmental devastation, widespread cancer and 
 health\nproblems. Consumption of fossil fuels is also the cause of 
 catastrophic\nclimate instability (droughts, floods, rising sea levels and 
 greater natural\ndisasters). \nPresident Bush has openly stated that 
 "protecting our oil interests" is\nbehind the deadly multi-billion dollar 
 "Plan Colombia" war on the Colombian\npeople. This war includes massacres, 
 widespread human rights violations, US\nmilitary aid, aerial spraying of 
 poison (fumigation), US training of Latin\nAmerican soldiers at the School 
 of the Americas, and that are fueling the\nviolence in Colombia, 
 devastating the environment, and displacing tens of\nthousands of 
 Colombians.\nEverywhere people are resisting and constructing practical 
 positive\nalternatives. A better world is possible and a global movement of 
 movements\nis rising up to make it happen.\nPlease join us.\n\nFor more
