Washington Readies for World Bank, IMF Protests
UPI
Sunday April 2, 2000
WASHINGTON, April 2 (UPI) -- Activists who are planning protests in Washington during upcoming World Bank and International Monetary Fund meetings will begin arriving April 8 from around the country to prepare, and local residents and law enforcement officials, too, are getting ready, the Washington Post reported Sunday.
Protesters will be rallying against what they say is destruction of the environment, abuse of workers and neglect of education and health care -- all caused, organizers say, by international capitalist policies imposed on the world by elitist groups unaccountable to the public.

Many area residents are hoping that when the international economic institutions meet on April 16 and 17, the protests will not too closely resemble demonstrations in Seattle
