 protest this harmful institution here in San Francisco!\n\nIf you have a 
 bicycle, bring it and ride. If not, wear your walking shoes and join us on 
 the march!\n\nWhat is the IMF? One of the most powerful institutions in the 
 world. \nThe International Monetary Fund (IMF) is a brutal loan shark. It 
 says it helps countries by lending them money to repay their international 
 bank debt. But before it loans out one cent, the IMF forces countries to 
 get rid of social services like healthcare, education, and public water and 
 electricity, and it instructs countries to get rid of environmental 
 protections. The result is massive instability and millions of poor people 
 being driven into hunger and desperation. Even in countries like Zimbabwe, 
 where out-of-control inflation rates mean widespread food shortages, the 
 IMF has cut off aid and wants the Zimbabwean government not to give its 
 citizens food or other support. Furthermore, after sixty years of furious 
 IMF lending, research has shown that the IMF does not even lead to economic 
 growth. The only ones who truly benefit are the bankers, after the IMF 
 bleeds their money, plus interest, out of the world's poorest 
 countries.\n\nLearn more at www.globalizethissf.org.\n
