Resistance Grows to World Economic Forum Meeting in NYC


The World Economic Forum (WEF) recently announced that it was moving its annual meeeting of world leaders from the Swiss ski resort of Davos to New York City. As outrage grows, The Anti-Capitalist Convergence and the International Action Center have both issued calls to action. Other groups have also begun organizing against the WEF, which has become increasingly unpopular in its home base of Switzerland. Concerns have also been expressed that global elites are setting a trap for protesters against corporate globalization.

The planned actions against the WEF from Jan 31 – Feb 4 in NYC are the continuation of communicating our struggles, learning to co-operate, and working towards an alternative to the violent world order that depends on repressive institutions like the School of the Americas (SOA) and the Prison Industrial Complex to enforces exploitation and inequality throughout the hemisphere.
