Enviros and other activists yesterday kicked off more than a week of
protests against corporate globalization in Washington, D.C., with the
goal of disrupting meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary
Fund this Sunday and Monday.  Seven protestors were arrested yesterday,
including Brent Blackwelder, president of Friends of the Earth, and John
Passacantando, executive director of Ozone Action, who chained themselves
to a truck that they were using as a makeshift stage from which to
denounce the World Bank's financing of oil, gas, and mining projects.
Others were arrested as they tried to hang a banner from World Bank
headquarters that read, in part, "World Bank Plunders the Planet."
Thousands are expected to converge on Washington this week, hoping to
build on momentum from last year's protests in Seattle against the World
Trade Organization.
