Saturday, February 2nd @ 4pm - The Women¹s Building
3543 18th St., (between Valencia & Guererro) in SF

THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM will bring together hundreds of the world's
wealthiest people where they will try to push through their agenda as an
answer to the world's problems. While ordinary people bear the brunt of
recession with layoffs, credit card debt and social service cuts, the rich
want and are trying to get more privatization and military spending.

Thousands will attend the protests against the World Economic Forum meeting
in New York City from January 31 to February 4. And people are also fighting
back here in the Bay Area.

From immigrant airport security screeners who are fighting to save their
jobs, to Housing and Welfare advocates organizing against new attacks on the
poor, to teachers fighting to preserve funding for the Oakland schools in the
face of budget cuts, people in the Bay Area are standing up to corporate
greed and the politicians who look to make working & poor people pay the
price during the recession.

Sponsored by the International Socialist Organization, publisher of Socialist
Worker.

Also, there will be a protest at 6pm at Powell and Market Street in SF in
solidarity with the protests in New York.
