             PLEASE FORWARD FAR & WIDE . . .

Building on the successes of the World Trade Organization protests
in Seattle, a diverse coalition of New York City activist groups are
coming together in mutual aid.  We are creating a network to support
each other's movements and facilitate mass mobilizations on a
diversity of issues, beginning with actions on April 16-17 against
the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.

This network is just beginning to form, and the energy level is already
high -- well over 100 people representing dozens of groups attended our most
recent meeting. Spread the word: We want YOU to join in making the New York
Direct Action Network a powerful vehicle for real social and political
change.
