The World Economic Forum
Some very important people are missing from the headlines and the stories of
the world's most influential economic institutions like the International  
Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the Free Trade Area 
of the Americas.  The real players--corporate representatives--meet for the
World Economic Forum (WEF) this year in New York City with minimal remote
press access.  Teach-ins and protests planned in New York City get to the
heart of corporate globalization and US economic power.

The World Social Forum
Also missing from the headlines are the alternatives devised by grassroots  
organizations and the world's non-elites.  Set to happen at the same time as
the WEF is the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil, a conference  
exploring such alternatives to an increasingly standard corporate agenda.

The Munich Conference on Security Policy
This annual meeting brings together the government officials and the     
military of NATO and the EU.  Much of the coalition behind the military  
coalitions that brought us the wars in Afghanistan, Kosovo, and Iraq are 
forged in conferences like this security conference.  The last few months
have seen military coalition involvement from Japan and Germany
unprecedented since WWII.  European activists are planning to bring their 
message held by most of the world: not to expand the "War on Terrorism" to
more countries.

Since the WTO protests in Seattle, 1999, the Independent Media Center (IMC)
has been covering the voices of those critiquing these global
institutions and their impact on democratic structures, then streaming it
over the internet.  Likewise, the IMC will produce live breaking coverage of
the forums and protests in Brazil, New York, and Munich.  Hundreds of media
activists will be calling in reports, conducting phone interviews and
collecting audio on the front lines, in workshops, and at teach-ins.
