Dear Comrades,

The Democratic Socialist Party of Australia has issued the following
call for a Global Strike Against Corporate Tyranny and a Blockade of
Stock Exchanges on May 1, 2001.

The DSP National Committee meeting October 14-15 discussed the exciting
experiences of the S11 blockade of the World Economic Forum in
Melbourne, and the S26 Prague mobilisation against the World Bank and
IMF meeting, and enthusiastically endorsed the proposal for a major
action on May 1.

We'll be raising this in the S11 alliances and with all left forces in
Ausralia, and want to link up with activists all over the world to make
this May Day march on the stock exchanges a truly global day of action
against the global capitalist system that condemns the majority of the
world's people to a life of poverty and misery.

We are asking groups and individuals to sign on to this call, and build
the largest possible May 1 actions in your city. Please contact DSP
national organiser Peter Boyle if you want to add
your name to this call, which we'll continue to distribute, and keep us
informed on progress in your country.

Comradely Greetings,

John Percy

Melbourne and Prague — to support the proposal for a Global Strike
Against Corporate Tyranny on May 1, 2001.

80% of the world’s population just to enrich a tiny minority who are
already obscenely wealthy. It is also worsening an already catastrophic
global environment crisis.

But now global corporate greed is being challenged by a movement of
global solidarity.

The global corporate rulers are already frightened and arguing among
themselves about how to combat our growing people’s movement. Some think
that changing the name of those instruments of death and misery for
millions, the IMF Structural Adjustment Programmes, to “Poverty
Reduction Strategies
