¡May Day!/ A Call To Action For A World in Distress MAY 1ST Carnival Against Capitalism/ MAYDAY 2000/ Meet at 10 AM Sharp! VICTORY SQUARE Corner of Cambie & Hastings (VANCOUVER)/ GET INVOLVED! The Direct Action Network meets at 1622 Franklin St. (one block NW of Hastings St and Commercial Dr in Vancouver) EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 7pm/ We seek to reclaim May Day as a day of working-class protest & power and a celebration of the struggle of working peoples the world over. May Day is a day to strengthen and fight-back against corporate globalization and imperialism coming out of the November 30th demonstrations in Seattle, a fight against its key architects the WTO, the IMF, the World Bank, and of course the capitalists that it serves. May Day is international as in international solidarity with resistance movements worldwide fighting for their rights, decent living conditions, and for their social, economic, political & cultural survival./ ENDORSEMENTS: People's Global Action - Basmati Action Group - Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives - Comrade Black Distribution - Vancouver Council of Canadians - Democracy Street - People's Action for Threatened Habitat - Under the Volcano - Pacific Centre for Alternative Journalism - Vancouver Committee Against Corporate Globalization - Latin American Connexions - Canadian Union of Public Employees Local #2419 - Check Your Head - Anti-Poverty Action Committee - TAO Communications - New Socialist Group - Vancouver Grassroots Alliance - Canadian Federation of Students (BC) - Food Not Bombs - Spartacus Books
