The April 16, 2005 meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank will represent the five year anniversary of the first major demonstrations against these institutions in the United States. Again we will gather in the streets of Washington D.C. on A16 to show that our resistance to these institutions and their greed only grows stronger. A16 will once more be the day we show that our dreams for a better world are not only possible, but under construction at this moment, in all corners of the globe- and the IMF and World Bank, with all their efforts to demolish these dreams and actions, can never stop us. The Mobilization for
Global Justice, a Washington DC based activist group is calling on all working to construct a better world to come out to condemn the World Bank and IMF seeing that they are structurally unsound and of no use to the community.

1. Scenario:

April 15th: Gather at the G-7 Finance Ministers meeting, location TBA at Noon. Come wearing hard hats, with tools and banners.

The G-7 is the group of wealthiest governments (US, UK, Italy, France, Germany, Japan, and Canada) The G-7 controls the IMF and World Bank. At the meeting on the 15th they will set the agenda and discuss which
decision they will make.

Playing on the contraction theme of the whole mobilization join MGJ as well as other groups in town like 50 Years in Enough and Jubilee USA as we go to the G-7 to inspect there foundation and condemn the system for its structural unsoundness with a expert team of inspectors working on education, debt cancellation, environmental justice and more.

April 16th: Converge at the World Bank and IMF, 18th and H Sts. NW at Noon. The people have served notice to the World Bank, IMF and wealthy elite. Their greed and destruction will not do. 24 hours since first notice we will dismantle the institutions (symbolically of course). Come wearing and bearing the symbols of construction, build props, paint banners make signs.

*March to Dupont Circle with the music and puppets. Once in Dupont four construction zones will be set up in four themes, peace and true security, health care/housing/education, a clean environment, and direct democracy.
Here participants can help in the construction of what represents these themes. All of this will be followed by a great benefit show with Riot Folk!

April 17th: More info coming but try your best to stay in town for
Sunday. It's going to be great!

4. Volunteers
