SPARC and the North East Action Network (in coalition with the Vermont Action Network) worked together to arrange a positive and massive campaign in Washington. A lot of people worked very hard on this project. Involvement was key, and networking others was stressed, so that nobody missed out on an event that has the power to affect the future of Economic Imperialism.
