On September 23 - 26, Washington DC will host a historic demonstration of people power that includes a global justice mobilization to confront the corporate loan sharks at the World Bank/IMF meetings, a massive anti-war mobilization, and a timely protest of Israel's brutal occupation of Palestine.
The septemberACTION Collective sees people taking action to "clean house" of the corporate elites and their political and military cronies as the common thread. We urge people of all colors, cultures, faiths, and walks of life to mobilize in Washington, DC, or in your own town on September 23-26, 2005, to stop business as usual.
Enough business as usual in the U.S. Empire, whose pillars of corporate globalization, militarism and media disinformation subvert democracy, wreak ecological disasters and perpetuate social injustices.
Enough business as usual at the World Bank and the IMF, whose corporate fatcats restructure economies to maximize corporate plunder while robbing the people directly affected by these backroom deals of any meaningful say in the process.
Enough business as usual with the military and corporate occupation of Iraq, a nightmare with no end in sight.
Iraq, however, is typical of wars for Empire all across the globe. The tragedy in Iraq represents the will of an aristocracy in the U.S. who work in concert with elites in other nations to destroy people, cities, and lives for economic and political gain, while their "economic draft" continues the long tradition of having poor people fight and die for their ambitions. Their imperial power strives to ignore and repress massive anti-war sentiment and demonstrations by people who live in the aggressor nations. Meanwhile, those who directly suffer from the consequences of war and occupation, whether in Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan or Haiti, have even less say.
The Bush Administration, Democrats, Republicans and their corporate bosses want us to believe we are powerless because they control the money, police, military and the corporate media. But People-Power sees power as a fragile relationship. Those in positions of power depend on the compliance of the people they hold power over. When people organize themselves to withdraw their cooperation, the power holders' grasp on power begins to weaken and crumble.
We invite you to assert your power and bring in your ideas, your energy, your actions to Washington, DC and in other cities to say, “No More Business as Usual!” Please use this website () as your clearinghouse for all the actions, consultas, conference calls and meetings going on as we “Clean House.” Clean out the White House, the Congress, the World Bank, the IMF, the war profiteers, the neoliberals as well as the neoconservatives! It is our house, our time to be noticed, our time to act!
