Last week, during the annual meetings of the World Bank/International Monetary Fund (IMF), thousands of people gathered in Washington DC for massive global justice and anti-war demonstrations. Protesters highlighted the connections between the military violence in Iraq - and elsewhere - and the economic violence perpetrated by the IMF and World Bank, a connection made even clearer with the appointment of Paul Wolfowitz, a key architect of the Iraq war, to the presidency of the World Bank. 

To further highlight these connections, UIUC is hosting the 50 Years Is Enough Network and United for Peace and Justice Speaker’s Tour in Champaign.

Co-sponsors: 
Unit One, YMCA, Center on Democracy in a Multicultural Society, Center for Global Studies, Center for African Studies, Center for East Asian and Pacific Studies, Women and Gender in a Global Perspective, Program in South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies
