The Bloom Movement foir Global Justice (Irish Based NGO activists and campaigning groups) is hosting a public meeting on what responses to the current IMF/ECB intervention can be generated from a justice perspective. There are many examples from around the world of countries bowing to the lenders, like private banks, the IMF and to the ECB, and paying dearly for it. There are also examples of countries who stood up to the lenders and are better off for it. This meeting will explore the alternatives and have us think about the unthinkable.

All are welcome.
