the WTO (World Trade Organization) and the IMF (International Monetary Fund) are meeting in Washington D.C. the weekend of October 2nd and 3rd (Saturday and Sunday). I have a movie on my computer that people can watch about why the WTO is terrible, not to mention there are tons of sites about it. The WTO protests in Seattle in 1999 are the most famous in recent US history (they actually shut down the meetings!). The WTO is closely tied to Free Trade. I am able to get my hands on a copy for screening of "The Miami Model" about the FTAA (Free Trade Area of the Americas) meetings in Mami in 2003 for Pirates to watch some weekend! Pirates Against Bush could do something for this (though I am too busy organizing other things to do so now), and I encourage people to be there if they can, but more importantly to learn about WTO and free trade (and why fair trade is better).
