World Economic Forum Counter-Summit and National Student Mobilization

WHO: Students, faculty, labor, activists, rabble-rousers, perennial
malcontents and YOU!

WHAT: Two days of workshops, trainings and speakers, followed by two days of
action in solidarity with Another World Is Possible! and the Anti-Capitalist
Convergence New York. Workshops will be presented by local organizations
including the Coalition for the Human Rights of Immigrants, the More
Gardens! Coalition, the ProLibertad Faltan6 Freedom Campaign and New York
City Labor Against the War, as well as national and international groups
such as People’s Global Action, the Rainforest Action Network, School of the
Americas Watch and the World Bank Bonds Boycott. Confirmed speakers include
Jaggi Singh and Starhawk.

WHERE: Columbia University in New York City.

WHEN: From Thursday, January 31 through Sunday, February 3, with
demonstrations continuing on February 4.

WHY: The World Economic Forum, a secretive consortium of the thousand most
powerful corporations on the planet, has been effectively chased from Davos,
Switzerland, the normal site of its annual meeting, by a coordinated
campaign of popular education, demonstrations and direct action. Its move to
New York is a hollow gesture of “solidarity” with a city in turmoil:
requiring millions of dollars in public funds, the militarization of city
streets and the practical abolition of civil liberties, this is the kind of
solidarity New Yorkers can do without. Join us as we show the World Economic
Forum that the struggle for global liberation is not over; if anything, it’s
only beginning.
