This August 2002, the United Nations will mark ten years since the Rio Earth Summit by convening the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in Johannesburg, South Africa. Unfortunately, instead of focusing on protecting natural resources and species around the globe, the WSSD is being used to further promote corporate-led globalization which includes privatization of social services and natural resources such as water. Such an agenda will lead to further devastation for the health of the planet and rob millions around the world of livelihoods and access to basic human needs.

Please join us to learn about what's at stake in Johannesburg and to hear alternative visions that will truly protect natural resources and ensure justice for everyone on the planet.

Gaston Hall is on the third floor of the Healy Building (with the clock tower) through the front gates of campus.

Getting there:
Public transportation or cabs are encouraged, as parking is limited. From the Dupont Circle metro station take the G2 fromMassachusetts and P Streets to the campus. From Roslyn, VA metro station take the bus into Georgetown - the campus is a ten minute walk. From either station take the Georgetown University Transportation Shuttle (GUTS bus) directly to campus. From 5-8 pm, the shuttle runs every 10 minutes; from 8-11 pm, the shuttle runs every 20 minutes.

=========================================
"The future will have no pity for those who, possessing the exceptional privilege to speak words of truth to the oppressor, instead take refuge in cynical indifference and cold complicity." -- Frantz Fanon

Pessimism is a luxury that must be saved for better times.
