RESISTANCE TO IMF, WB, PLAN COLOMBIA, WASHINGTON DC 19-22 April 2002

Massive protests against a variety of issues took place in Washington DC and many other US cities last weekend. On Saturday, demonstrations against the Israeli occupation of Palestine linked up with the large Stop the War march to protest against all forms of war and terrorism, highlighting especially the US-led so-called "war against terror". A large convergence for Global Justice against the IMF / World Bank meeting taking place that very weekend in Washington, and demonstrations against Plan Colombia complemented an unprecedented weekend of protest. The different causes brought together widespread anger at both military and economic violence, and particularly the role of the Bush administration in this.
Solidarity demonstrations also took place in San Francisco, Houston, Hamilton (Ontario), Salt Lake City, Portland (Oregon) and Duluth (Minnesota)
