==========================================
The People's Summit on Globalization
March 8-11th, 2001
University of Colorado - Boulder, Colorado
==========================================

A conference to educate, empower, and unite people striving for justice in
the face of corporate globalization.

http://www.colorado.edu/studentgroups/summit/

This conference aims to bring speakers, community members, students,
workers, activists, and other global citizens to learn about the effects of
globalization and to change the power structures that affect our world. More
than just a "conference" in the traditional sense, we will be training,
planning and networking with each other to better organize and mobilize
ourselves for future action.

Don't miss an exciting, and perhaps the largest, conference on globalization
in the United States. Please visit the website for (free) registration and
more information.
