Hey Hey Hey!

We're taking to the streets tomorrow afternoon to let
folks know about the impending demonstrations against
the IMF and the World Bank and need a few more fun-
loving folks to come out and work with puppets and
flags as we wind our way through some of DC's finest
neighborhoods.

We'll meet at 4pm at a NW location still being
decided, and it should last for about two hours.

Please let me know if you can come!  It will
definitely be a high- energy occasion and a great
chance to learn how to use the puppets and talk to
regular folks about global justice.

Because another world is still possible, Alix
