As part of the UIUC Campus Greens' campaign to promote fair trade coffee and
chocolate in Champaign-Urbana, Kevin Danaher, co-founder of Global Exchange
will speak at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on April 29 at
7PM in Greg Hall.  Described by The New York Times as the "Paul Revere of
globalization's woes," Danaher's analytical expertise, sense of humor and
blunt eloquence make him an exceptionally dynamic speaker. 
 
Kevin Danaher will discuss how corporate globalization is driven by the need
to turn nature into money and find the cheapest labor and how as an
alternative to this destructive practice, grassroots globalization is being
built by community-based organizations linking across their boundaries. He
will not only provides a detailed analysis of what is wrong, but he also
gives inspiring examples of what we can do to make things right!
