Yes - by acting together! - People are already taking action against
privatisation in millions of ways across the world. By linking up
globally we make our separate struggles stronger and we can act together
to challenge capitalism at its very foundations our everyday lives!
Peoples' Global Action is a network, formed in 1998 from a meeting of
groups from both the global North and South, including Mexico's
Zapatistas, Indian farmers, Colombia's U'wa indigenous people, and London
Reclaim the Streets.
The PGA network has helped publicise and co-ordinate some of the recent
global days of action against capitalism and its various institutions;
financial centres on June 18th 1999, which included a Carnival Against
Capitalism in the City of London; the WTO in Seattle on November 30th
1999; and the IMF & World Bank in Prague on September 26th 2000. These
days were made up of demonstrations, actions and meetings across the
globe 110 cities on September 26th - of which the media reported only a
handful.
The 3rd PGA international conference was held in September 2001. Three
women from the UK were there, and are now available for speaking and
showing slides at meetings etc. Please contact them on

It's time to share more information about our many movements and actions
for positive social and ecological change, and a world without political
parties or leaders.
