[IAC]Feb. 2: Permitted rally against WEF in NYC



PERMITTED DEMONSTRATION AND RALLY TO TAKE PLACE
IN FRONT OF WALDORF ASTORIA HOTEL
ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2

WHAT:
Demonstration against the World Economic Forum

DATE:
Saturday, February 2

TIME:
11 am

LOCATION:
@ the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, 50th St. and Park Ave.
New York City

In response to permit applications placed by organizers at 
International A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to Stop War & End 
Racism), the New York Police Department have stated that 
they *WILL NOT* be creating a Quebec-type exclusion zone 
surrounding the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, the site of the 
annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF).

In fact, there will be permitted protests at 50th St. and 
Park Ave., the northwest corner of the Waldorf.

The WEF has traditionally met in Davos, Switzerlad, where 
it was the target of massive anti-globalization 
demonstrations.  Organizers in the A.N.S.W.E.R. coalition 
vow that the move to New York City by the W.E.F. - whose 
members activists are calling the "face of economic 
terrorism" - will not help its CEOs, bankers and 
billionaires avoid protest. 

A.N.S.W.E.R. is calling for all those who oppose the 
anti-poor policies of the World Economic Forum; who oppose 
U.S. wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere; who stand 
against racism, for civil liberties and for civil rights 
to convergence at 50th St. and Park Ave. at 11 am on 
Saturday, February 2.
