FOR a Just world…

Saturday - April 24th
Noon
Franklin Square, DC (14th & K)
http://www.globalizethis.org // 202.588.1529

::MEET::
At Noon in Franklin Square, where local and global voices will join
together to oppose the devastation wrought by these institutions to
healthcare and women’s rights and to kick off the event!
::CACEROLAZO & MARCH:: (bring your pots & pans!)
In the style of Argentinean protest, bring your pots, pans, whistles,
drums, and noisemakers as we march to the doors of the profiteers of
global economic destruction. On our way to thaw World Bank, we will visit
the homes of corporations that profit off the Bank’s destructive policies.
::FESTIVAL OF RESISTANCE::
We will end our march back at Franklin Square and celebrate our vision of
another world-=free from corporate greed and the domination of global
capital. Political speech, music, poetry, and fun for all!
