Over 130 people packed into the meeting to hear speakers from the Hackney Green Party, Christian Aid, the London Socialist Alliance and the Socialist Workers Party. Fourteen different groups supported the meeting, including Jubilee 2000 and the Justice for Harry Stanley Campaign. The Hackney bin workers, who had just won their dispute with the local council, sent a representative to thank the collective for its solidarity. Everything is weighted in the favour of the rich countries. The poor are getting poorer.
People have the right to determine their own future.
The IMF does not allow this. Christian Aid will support all the people in Prague demonstrating against the IMF and the World Bank. Some 80 people attended a similar meeting in Glasgow last week. Around 70 people joined a meeting in Manchester last week and several people, including a building worker, bought tickets for the coach to Prague. Millions of lives are at stake.
