[Announce-DAN] People's Summit On Globalization

[nellgeiser@aol.com]

Greetings and Salutations,

The Coalition for Economic Justice, a diverse coalition of students and
community organizers, presents 'The People's Summit on Globalization,'
a conference to educate, empower and unite people striving for
justice in the face of corporate globalization, March 8-11, 2001 in
Boulder, Colorado. 

This non-partisan conference aims to bring keynote speakers, panelists,
community members, students, workers, educators and other global citizens
to learn about the effects of economic globalization and to address the
power structures that affect our world.  Some of our keynote speakers
include Dr. Vandana Shiva, Amy Goodman of Democracy Now!, Kevin Danaher of
Global Exchange, and other leaders and workers in the struggle for
justice. 

More than just a 'conference' in the traditional sense, we will be
training, planning and networking with each other to better organize and
mobilize ourselves for future action and education.  

All participants are invited free of charge. We do, however, ask the
following:

1) For free food and access to housing, please register early by going to
http://powerful.as/people.

2) Please pass this email along to your email lists and spread the word to
other interested groups. 

3) Please visit our website periodically for updates and any changes
