Hong Kong People's Alliance on Globalization
Resist Global Recession: a People's Conference

The unprecedented financial tsunami is hitting us deeply.  Yet the Government's reactions are too slow and only concerned with the market, not the people. How will we confront this situation?

The HKPA has invited representatives from academics and people's organisations to put our heads together to explore the structural reasons leading to this capitalistic crisis, and to develop a People's Rescue Plan to confront this financial crisis.

We sincerely invite all our friends from the social movement to attend this important meeting.  Your contributions will be much appreciated.
