THEY ARE ALL ENRON! WE ARE ALL ARGENTINES!
Participatory street theater, nonviolent direct action tomorrow at Arthur Andersen and the Argentine Consulate General
(Mon., Feb. 4, 12 noon, 6th Ave. betw. 55th and 56th Streets)
Another World Is Possible, the coalition that organized the successful mass rally and march against the World Economic
Forum in New York on Sat., Feb. 2, will be continuing its campaign against corporate globalization tomorrow with two
actions: at the New York offices of accountant Arthur Andersen and the Argentine Consulate General.
The Andersen action will highlight one of activists' main objections to the World Economic Forum, say organizers. Enron
Corporation, the Andersen client that collapsed recently after evidence surfaced of massive "irregularities" in its
financial reporting, was a strong supporter of the WEF for years; its chairman and mastermind, Kenneth Lay, was slated
to attend the New York WEF meeting until just a few weeks before the meeting began. And Enron personifies the incestuous
connections between business leaders and elected officials that lead to the making of public policies that destroy
communities while enriching multinational corporations.
Another World Is Possible demands that Enron open all books to public scrutiny and return all money stolen from
employees, US taxpayers, and all pension accounts.
The action will move one short block away, at 2:30pm, to the Argentine Consulate General, organizers say, where
activists will offer their support to the Argentine people - the latest victims of the neoliberal economic policies that
the WEF has promoted for many years. Some activists will bring pots, pans and other kitchen utensils to bang on, as
Argentines did a few weeks ago when they successfully demanded the resignation of the International Monetary Fund-backed
President de la Rua.
Activists will sing Argentine songs and take up a collection to help the people of Argentina, demonstrating that while
the US government, the IMF, banks and corporations have turned their backs on Argentina, the people have not.
Another World Is Possible is a broad-based coalition that includes organized labor, students, environmentalists, human
rights campaigners, and other anti-corporate-globalization activists. Our aim is to educate Americans about the
destructive effects of corporate globalization and how to organize against it. For more information, visit or Web site
