Ready for
Some Direct Action?
#1: Tie up the Phone Lines with Important Questions
The World
Bank is a ‘development’ organization that distributes money it makes
from Wall Street investments and grants from wealthy nations to
less-wealthy nations. In order to get these loans, nations have to
score well on the Bank’s Doing Business rankings. Scoring well
usually means making their legal and economic environments as
friendly as possible to multinational corporations (i.e., loosening
regulations). These loans end up incentivizing
unethical/environmentally-destructive policies and undermine the
ability of smaller, local producers to survive. Want to join the call-in direct action?
