RESISTING THE IMF/WB
 Anti-IMF demonstrations in Washington last year drew over 15,000 protesters. This year, as American military retaliations loom near in the wake of the recent terrorist attacks, demonstrations focussing upon anti-war / anti-militarization will take place in many cities on Sept. 29-30 (including Montreal - see poster at right).
