>Dear Friends:
>
>In the 60th anniversary year of the IMF and World Bank, civil 
>society the world over is demanding that these institutions and the 
>governments which control them:
>
>* Open all World Bank and IMF meetings to the media and the public;
>
>* Cancel all impoverished country debt to the World Bank and
>IMF, using the institutions' own resources;
>
>* End all World Bank and IMF policies that hinder people's
>access to food, clean water, shelter, health care, education, and 
>right to organize. (Such "structural adjustment" policies include 
>user fees, privatization, and economic austerity programs.);
>
>* Stop all World Bank support for socially and environmentally 
>destructive projects such as oil, gas, and mining activities, and 
>all support for projects such as dams that include forced relocation 
>of people.
>
>Add your voice by endorsing these demands at
