>Greetings from the 50 Years Is Enough Network!
>
>I'm writing to you because you had expressed interest in our 
>speaking tour last year, which went to 14 cities in over 10 states. 
>This year we're looking for your help to add more stops!  Please, 
>forward to groups you'd think would be interested as well.
>
>We are organizing a speaking tour on globalization, war, and 
>economic and military violence to take place in late September/early 
>October 2005.  We will be bringing activists and organizers from the 
>Global South to speak on their experiences in the struggle for 
>justice.  We also expect that speakers will be able to talk about 
>the current model of globalization and what that means for people in 
>their community, the World Bank and the IMF, "free" trade, 
>privatization of essential services, and other issues that we all 
>face.
>
>In addition, we are hoping to provide speakers from the 
>antiwar/peace movement.  They will be able to speak on Paul 
>Wolfowitz ? a key architect of the invasion and occupation of Iraq 
>who was recently selected by the Bush administration to be the next 
>president of the World Bank ? and on the militarization of US 
>foreign policy. 
>We are approaching you either because you have organized events with 
>us before, have expressed interest in our work, or because we 
>believe your organization would be interested in hosting a stop on 
>this tour. 
>Please respond to this email if you are interested in bringing 
>speakers to your community, or if you know of others who might be 
>interested.  Your response is not binding; we are just trying to 
>gauge interest at this point.  You may reach me by email or phone if 
>you have any further questions. 
>In solidarity,
