October Anti-Capitalist Initiative against the World Bank and IMF

**POST FAR AND WIDE**

Between October 2nd and 4th 2001, the International Monetary Fund and World Bank will hold their bi-annual meetings at the Wardman Park Marriot in Washington, DC. Both these institutions exemplify how capitalism promotes poverty, racism, sexism, environmental destruction, and social injustice in the name of so-called development.

Both the IMF and the World Bank are merely the outward faces of a brutal elite bent on imposing its destructive economic regime on the entire world. We will not be content with reforming, or even abolishing the IMF/World Bank. We will be not content till every last bank has been burned, till the last memory of banks has been erased from our world. For only from the ashes of these banks and of capitalism itself can arise a new world of liberation, community, and harmony. We cannot wait,compromise, or petition for a better tomorrow. We must act now to present an anti-authoritarian alternative.

We call for a large-scale mobilization to descend on Washington to disrupt the IMF/WB meetings in solidarity with revolutionary movements throughout the world. We envision a joyous festival of resistance in the spirit of Seattle and Prague that will bring these meetings to a halt.

Revolutionaries of the World - organize and converge on Washington, DC!

Anarchists from the east coast are currently organizing a tight but diverse revolutionary anti-capitalist bloc to operate in conjunction with the creative action of autonomous cells to show our force at these meetings. We are calling for a diversity of tactics, and a mutual respect for all. We will succeed by any means necessary.

Cheerleaders of the revolution, artists, brigades of noise and marching bands, blocs of red and black (and clowns), communications scouts, bike mechanics and messengers, legal collectives, puppetistas - whatever your passion is - we need you. Every victim of the police, every abused housewife, every bored teenager, every wage-slave waiting to break their chains, every last precious human being! Join us!

There is much to be done in the upcoming months. We need you to help us organize meetings, begin caravans, gatherings, and other events to build connections and solidarity within the movement and beyond. Please get in touch!
