Join
Baby Milk Action at the
Trade
Justice Parade!
Saturday
November 3rd 2001
Come
and join Baby Milk Action for the Trade Justice Parade in central
London on November 3rd.
Baby
Milk Action will be joining with other organisations such as Oxfam,
World Development Movement and Christian Aid to raise awareness
of the negative impact of unfair and unjust trade rules on the
world's poorest people, and we will be highlighting how trade
rules impact on the baby milk issue.
What
is happening?
Processing
from Lambeth around the streets of London to Trafalgar Square,
the Trade Justice Parade promises to be a lively and fun day for
all the family. With colourful and musical floats from many different
organisations the parade will culminate in Trafalgar Square with
influential speakers such as Naomi Klein (author of No Logo).
In response to the current international situation a minutes silence
will also be observed for the victims of injustice everywhere.
What
are we doing?
As babies
and fat-cat businessmen giving out baby bottle shaped flyers,
our procession will focus around a rickshaw as we move along with
the parade. Dress in either babies costumes or as fat-cat businessmen/women,
(but remember it is November, and wrap up warm!!). We'll bring
the flyers, Nestlé boycott placards and banners, but feel
free to bring any props/ banners or musical instruments that you
think will add to the fun.
Where
are we meeting?
We will
be meeting at 12.30pm at Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park,
nr. Imperial War Museum, Lambeth Road
(nearest tube station Lambeth North, Bakerloo Line).
