Our Focus |

Latin America
Globalization
has added to the mix of powers that control U.S. policy toward Latin
American
countries. Pledge has worked to publicize and protest policies of the
IMF and
World Bank which is being operated for the benefit of rich countries
that are
in control. We believe that Globalization has distorted the allocation
of
resources in favor of private goods at the expense of public ones. Now
CAFTA
expands the ability of large corporations in our country to dominate
the
economies of our neighbors at the cost of cutting education and civil
services
in these countries. We believe that in the new world of Globalization
there is
an even greater need for countries to act collectively through
international
institutions and to have alliances with other countries to demand
global
justice and a better global environment. We will work against narrow
corporation self-interest. In its place we must give thought to the
future of humanity and the reassertion of morality. Learn More . . .

Haiti
The
Delco Pledge of Resistance has focused on Haiti over the last 15 years.
We have
organized
several non-violent demonstrations protesting the 1991 coup, several
educational forums, multiple pieces published in our Newsletter, and (joining
with Haiti Reborn) we have demonstrated and lobbied
in Washington DC, protesting the US
sanctions imposed on Haiti. Learn More . . .

Globalization
and The New American Empire
We
have
organized a forum that was critical of
the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund policies. We organized an educational forum on The
Patriot Act. We oppose the war in Iraq and have been involved in
multiple
antiwar demonstrations. At present we have three “anti war” programs.
We will
bring to Delaware County on October 14, the documentary “Sir!, No
Sir!”. We
have sponsored and are participating in the “National Declaration To
End The
War In Iraq”. We were the founders of
the group “Democracy Now Advocates” which aims to bring Amy Goodman’s
“Democracy Now” to stations in the Philadelphia area. We were
successful in
urging WYBE to air this important show five times a week Our
Latin American and Haiti programs, of
course, relate to the topic of “Globalization”.
