"Another World Is Possible: We have before us a choice--the world of militarism and corporate globalization, or a world built on global solidarity, rooted in a foundation of democracy, dignity, sustainability, and cooperation. This fall we have an opportunity to bring our vision to life, through a series of actions and campaigns that will build toward a better world." is from san francisco based Global Exchange, an international human rights organization dedicated to promoting environmental, political and social justice. www.globalexchange.org is their website

easa.antville.org was an earlier piece posted to this EASA site "make trade fair- a call on all EASA community to get involved" posted by myself when working with IMC-oxford before EASA003, it was removed by the webmaster as the view then was that "trade and gloabalisation has nothing to do with architecture" does it?
