Join us this June for the Global Justice Action Summit in lovely
Missoula Montana!
June 20-24: GLOBAL JUSTICE ACTION SUMMIT (Missoula)
http://www.globaljas.org * 406-541-2001
Partners for Global Justice and Sustainable Communities presents: The
Global Justice Action Summit (Global JAS) Missoula, Montana, USA June
20~24 2002.
Global JAS is being organized to identify the specific tools and
strategies people can use to change undemocratic decisions and unfair
global economic policies. Together, we will explore a global vision
that respects human rights, cultural diversity and ecological
integrity with the intention of helping to build sustainable
communities worldwide.
The Global Justice Action Summit is a Forum on sustainable
alternatives to economic globalization, a Fair on Sustainability and
a Festival and Celebration of action for change. GlobalJAS will draw
attention to the upcoming annual G8 meetings taking place near
Calgary, Alberta, which begin June 26, 2002. The G8 (Group of Eight)
refers to the self-constituted forum of leaders from the eight most
powerful industrialized nations. The G8’s widespread influence, but
lack of democratic accountability, fails to represent countries
excluded from its private closed door deliberations, or the billions
of people who are adversely affected by its agenda and policies.

"Those who profess to favor freedom,
yet deprecate
agitation, are men who want crops
without plowing up the
ground. They want rain without thunder
and lightening. They
want the ocean without the awful roar
of its many waters.
This struggle may be a moral one; or it
may be a physical
one; or it may be both moral and
physical; but it must be a
struggle. Power concedes nothing
without a demand. It never
did and it never will." -Frederick
Douglass
