 Sunday April 27, 2003 15:14 by Aisling Wheeler - World Bank Boycott Europe aislingw at care2 dot com
 Speaker's Tour The World Bank Boycott speaker’s tour. The World Bank Boycott is an international campaign that demands an end to socially and environmentally destructive World Bank policies and projects through grassroots financial and political power.
The Boycott is an international coalition of grassroots groups from the Global South, the US and Europe, which seeks to increase financial and political pressure on the World Bank by discouraging local institutions from investing in its bonds, from which it raises 80% of its money. The format of the Speakers Tour is very flexible, and the aim is to respond to the specific requests of individual audiences as far as possible. The evenings will involve film screenings, discussions, and a presentation by a Senegalese man whose community has been directly affected by World Bank policies. If you would be interested in attending such an evening, or if you have any questions, please contact: [email protected], or contact us in the A SEED office.

or Chavez.
or millions of other South American Socialists they appear to be working hard on that one.
discouraging the local instutions from investing in its bonds by asking the people who manage their funds for them not to invest in their funds in World Bank Bonds and better still to invest in ethical bonds. Don't think there is too much ethical high risk or ethical blue chip? Whatever. Just by getting the fund managers of their investments not too invest in World Bank Bonds.
