C.A.C.T.U.S. (Campaign Against Corporate Tyranny United in Struggle)
Sydney - Carnival for Global Justice!
"With that corporate freakshow - the Olympics - in town, we should attract a bit of attention with actions throughout at the day and a carnival in Victoria Park - cnr City Rd and Broadway (venue to be confirmed).
Victoria Park is the site of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy; a convergance point for Indigenous activists and supporters who will be protesting the Olympic Games (meet there @ 10am, 15/9 - opening ceremony!). C.A.C.T.U.S. fully supports the Aboriginal protests at the Olympics that demand human rights and dignity for Aboriginal people. Our conservative Government has shamed us all with their refusal to acknowledge our genocidal, colonial past (and present) and the Olympics will give us a chance to bring this struggle to the world.
The s26 Carnival will focus on debt related issues and the struggle against capitalism and corporate globalisation in the third world. It will feature bands, DJ's, speakers, food, creative workshops, direct action workshops, talking circles and whatever else we can organise (i.e contact us - we need help!). Come one, come all! Let the resistance be as global as capital!
Good luck to all our comrades in Praha!"

"Mobilisation in Austria is running on full speed. We have hired a bus that is going to fill up. We are concentrating on the mobilisation and are trying to push the topic Prague. Although the mass media are still silent we have got a very good mood here. We built up a cooperation with parts of the Green Party, the Young Socialists (spo), unemployment initiatives and feminist movement. Now some media are getting interested in the topic. We gave interviews to somebody from fm4 - a young people radio station and to somebody from Profil which is one of the three big weekly magazines. We built 4 komitees which are slowly changing into socialist groups, because beeing against capitalism needs to have an alternative. We are trying to bring up the topic IMF, WTO and the Worldbank in the weekly demonstrations against the governement, the fpo and haider that are still continuing. There are a lot of people who are not just against the governement but also see the problem of global capitalism and are very interested in acting. Last week we showed the video "Showdown in Seattle" in front of the top scene location. It was fascinating - we got a much better response than we ever hoped to get. We sold about 90 newspapers covering the events in Prague, 14 broshures, got 24 telephone numbers of interested people and could get a lot of them to join our meeting where we were discussing "Is there an alernative to global capitalism?". We all are looking forward to stop the bosses of the world in Prague!

Colombian Black Communities Process
There will also be two representatives in Prague.
The situation in Colombia is getting worse every single day, especially since the US congress approved funding for the machiavelian Colombia Plan. The region where the PCN works, which is a very special region in many ways (it has the highest density of biodiversity in the world, it is populated by free communities of people who were slaves for the global economy until very recently and some indigenous peoples), was free of drugs, paramilitaries and violence until very recently. However, since Clinton gave green light to the transfer of funds bypassing the human rights conditionalities of the plan approved by the congress, the paramilitaries have been killing people (mass random killings in communities that happen to be on their way) as they please. The PCN makes a direct connection between what is happening to them now and the globalisation imposed by the IMF and the World Bank, since the reason why they are being killed is that, after massive grassroots mobilisations, they won the right to territorial autonomy in the new constitution of 1991, meaning that they have the right to determine what is done and what is not done in their territory (like indigenous peoples). But their region has become very attractive to national and multinational capital in the last years due to the wood, the gold, the oil, the biodiversity, the possibilities to build transport infrastructure to connect the Colombian economy better with the Pacific Ocean, the possibility to build dams in that slim strip of land between the Andes and the ocean where tremendous rivers flow, etc. The colombian state knows that the best way to bypass the right of people to decide for themselves is to send the paramilitaries to kill everybody in a few villages in the region to be cleared for capital, so that people get scared, leave the area and join the slums of Bogota, Cali or Medellin. There are more than 2 million internal refugees in Colombia, and thanks to the US funding to the Colombia plan, their number will surely rapidly grow. These two representatives have come to denounce all this and to make clear that for them the policies of the World Bank and the IMF are just one more component of the complex system of oppression and exploitation that they have been suffering since centuries, and whose latest manifestation is the Colombia Plan.

Probably at least Left Youth, Socialist League and KEPA (big NGO coalition working on Third World/development issues) will also join mobilisation some way and we will try to further broaden base of mobilisation. There will probably also be some kind of media office to translate information about IMF/WB actions to Finnish and feed it to media and internet. Possibly some kind of local actions/discussions will also be organised around S26 in Finland, at least in Helsinki.

South African Prague Delegation
A superb Southern African delegation (at least half a dozen activists) is coming as well, mainly from the very progressive Jubilee 2000 South Africa movement and regional allies. Perhaps I could take this chance to point out that the Chair of the Board of Governors of the IMF/WB this year is Trevor Manuel, South Africa's finance minister. He will be giving an initial speech to the official meetings, as well as taking part in a debate with Walden Bello from Focus plus Wolfy/Havel. He's bad news, so beware! But opposing Manuel will be Trevor Ngwane (rasta@pixie.co.za), the famous Soweto city councilor fired by the ruling African National Congress for fighting Johannesburg water privatisation (he and Oscar Oliviera of Seis Federaciones del Tropico de Cochabamba had a lot of fun comparing notes on resistance strategies/tactics on A17 when I saw them in a Washington DC coffeehouse after the action on Pennsylvania Ave ebbed). Trevor N and Oscar, as well as the excellent Soweto-based student activist Molly Dhlamini, are going on from Prague to do a multi-city US tour promoting the World Bank Bond Boycott (http://www.worldbankboycott.org ), which will include the cult film "Two Trevors go to Washington" (go to http://www.go.to/two.trevors/ for info on ordering).

The Ankara Initiative Against Globalization (AIAG) is organizing a warm welcome party for the IMF delegation. This welcome party will take place on August 31, 2000. Call it A31 if you like. AIAG is also planning a demonstration in Ankara on September 26 to join the Global Action Day that will take place around the globe. Further, TMMOB (The Union of Chambers of Engineering and Architecture of Turkiye) is preparing another day of protests to take place on September 24. AIAG was called by the boards of Tum Sosyal Sen (The Public Employees Union of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security and the Social Security Sector), Enerji Yapi Yol Sen (The Energy, Building and Road Construction Workers Union) and by Tayfun Gorgun, the Ankara representative of DISK (The Revolutionary Workers Unions Confederation), and held their first meeting on August 10 2000.

Prag 2000 Inisiyatifi (Prague 2000 Initiative)
"Hi, Our campaign for S26 is running quite well. There are three Prag 2000 initiatives set up in Turkey in Ankara, Istanbul and Izmir. There is a great interest of people on streets towards this campaign. One of the reasons is that the current government of Turkey is implementing an economic "reform package" pushed by IMF and World Bank.
It is therefore rather easy to link S26 to the daily life of people besides other political subjects on the agenda in Turkey such as to the peace process relating the Kurdish question, government's attacks on jail issues (it has been far more money invested to build new jails than the money allocated for public services), membership issue of Turkey to the EU and overall to the presence of fascists in the government.
It is rather difficult to send people to Prag due to visa and financial problems. We will send a delegation. It will be around 100-150 people from all over Turkey. We have therefore concentrated us on local activities and meetings..." Read more news from Turkey.

We are small initiative group called 'Initiative "tigra nigra"', created from various people and based on non-authoritarian principles. Because of lack of human and other means we can only try to cover Kiev - not the whole Ukraine. Events planned in Kiev are:
1) Informational campaign: despite the role played by IMF/WB in ukrainian policy and current situation, people are uninformed about these institutions' activity's type and impacts. The serious lack of critical analysis and simply information;
2) Two street actions, every with elements of the street theatre: for 26th in front of World Bank office in Kiev, and for 25th in front of Czech embassy in preventive protest against possible oppression of demos in Prague by riot police.
There is a serious shortage of everything, so agenda can be changed, but the most essential part anyway remain planned."

Chicago
" As you know, on September 26th there will be global protests to coincide with the Annual General Meeting of the Board of Governors of the IMF and World Bank in Prague, the Czech Republic.
There are several events happening in Chicago: 12:00AM: Steelworkers confront Harris Bank and Puppet show 2:00PM: S26 Collective Rally and March, beginning at NikeTown 4:00PM: Chicago Mayday Coalition March on the Financial District
A constant IMF/World Bank prescription for countries where they operate is increasing "labor market flexibility." In practice this means opposing increases in the minimum wage, weakening trade unions and workers' bargaining power and opposing any social protections that would make workers less willing to work for low wages. In the U.S., working people face similar campaigns to erode their power. Thousands of workers are fired each year by American employers for joining together to organize unions.
1,000 Steelworker families are still standing united on picket lines in Des Moines, Iowa and Natchez, Mississippi. They have courageously stood up for their rights against Titan International's series of labor law violations, scabs(non-union replacement workers), and attacks upon their families.
Tuesday, September 26th, striking steelworkers will rally at Harris Bank in Chicago in solidarity with demonstrations against the IMC/World Bank Meeting in Prague.
Meet at 12 Noon Harris Bank 111 West Monroe Street Chicago, Illinois
Why demonstrate against Harris Bank? Titan International continues to hold out against the National Labor Relations Board, Courts, OSHA rulings and union/community solidarity, for only one reason: an immoral $175 million dollar loan from Chicago based Harris Bank.
The United Steel Workers of America, various international unions and solidarity organizations are demonstrating against corporate sponsored injustice on S26.

State College
Pennsylvania
"Some of us at Penn State are moving our classrooms through the sidewalks of campus hoping to stimulate others along the way. We are calling this floating classroom a “March for Democracy” because we want to discuss what we see as the perverted marriage between political representatives and corporate leaders—a marriage unseen and unsanctioned by the people. The march will begin with a brief lecture and will be punctuated by similar talks throughout its route. Several of us have already decided to walk our nearly 400 students through campus on this day because these ideas have become too important to lock inside our classrooms. Open air may be the only “air time” that we can get for now. 12:30 - 2:15 p.m."
