Partners In Crime, Or People For Change?

20 - 22 September

Partnerships For Change is a government-sponsored meeting planned as an update of the UNCED conference in Rio 1992. Participants will be invited from local business, trade unions, and campaigning organisations. Ordinary people, community leaders and grassroots organisations cannot attend.

A group called "People for Change" are planning to challenge this. A press conference has been arranged for the 20th Sept. Speakers will include Victor Meyer from El Salvador, Maria Helena, director of World Development Movement, and the "Twyford Detainees".

Actions, events, FUN will be happening concurrently with the conference. An alternative display at the Friends’ Meeting House will be set up - places still available through David Harris (061 232 9550).

The message is that Partnerships for Change will change nothing and is a waste of time, money and resources. For details contact Manchester EF! 061 225 7128.
