Subject: [nihac] Kevin Danaher speaks for NIHAC


>
> On May 21 NIHAC sponsored a talk by Global Exchange's co-founder Kevin
> Danaher on "Global Wealth versus Global Health." The meeting was attended
> by around 75 very enthusiastic participants, was videotaped for the local
> community access TV station, and was audiotaped for likely broadcast on
> David Barsamian's Alternative Radio program this fall.
>
> Danaher is a very widely known speaker and social activist based in San
> Francisco. He discussed the global divide that "globalization" has
> produced, essentially linking the global elites from rich countries with
> elites from poor countries. Globalization thus is of mutual benefit to
> those who are already well-off and up to now has put the disadvantaged at
> even greater disadvantage. However, Danaher's message was not one of
> despair, but rather of inspiration and motivation. He discussed the ways
> in which those who support the interests of "normal people" can join
> together and re-define what globalization can produce for the world at
> large. Global Exchange has a number of innovative and successful
> activities along those lines. Their web site can be found at:
