WHAT DO THESE PEOPLE HAVE IN COMMON?

Followed by pictures of MST & UK refuse collectors

They’re fighting back against privatisation!

Brighton’s refuse workers strike against workloads imposed by their French
multinational employers, while Brazilian peasants occupy the lands stolen to
make way for industrial farming…

The WORLD TRADE ORGANISATION (WTO) is the main global institution speeding the
privatisation of everything from water in Bolivia to Britain’s hospitals,
schools and public transport.

The first WTO meeting was met by 10,000 protesters, the second in Seattle saw
it shut down by 50,000. This time they are fleeing to the desert in Doha,
Qatar. So let’s leave them to bake and take this struggle back to our
communities…

Global Day of Action against the WTO:
9 November 2001

…work stoppages?…street parties?…
public meetings?…squatted infocentres?
WHAT WILL YOU DO?

How can we choose a different future?
By acting together!

People are already taking action against privatisation in millions of ways
across the world. By linking up globally we make our separate struggles
stronger and we can act together to challenge capitalism at its very
foundations our everyday lives!

Peoples’ Global Action is a network, formed in 1998 from a meeting of groups
from both the global North and South, including Mexico’s Zapatistas, Indian
farmers, Colombia’s U’wa indigenous people, and London Reclaim the Streets.

The PGA network has helped publicise and coordinate some of the recent global
days of action against capitalism and its various institutions; financial
centres on June 18th 1999, which included a Carnival Against Capitalism in the
City of London; the WTO in Seattle on November 30th 1999; and the IMF & World
Bank in Prague on September 26th 2000. These days were made up of
demonstrations, actions and meetings across the globe 110 cities on September
26th - of which the media reported only a handful.

The 3rd PGA international conference was held in September 2001 in Cochabamba,
Bolivia, centre of recent anti-water privatisation protests. Among many other
issues, they discussed globally coordinated actions to coincide with the
3rd WTO meeting in Qatar. Three women from the UK were there, and are now available
for speaking and showing slides at meetings etc. Please contact them on

Maybe it's time to share more information about our many movements and actions
for positive social and ecological change, and a world without political
parties or leaders…
