Tufts students join WB/IMF protests in Washington D.C.

"Ain't no power like the power of the people because the power of the people don't stop... Say what? Ain't no power like the power of the people because the power of the people don't stop...." So went one of the many chants that anyone in Washington, D.C. could have heard shouted by thousands of social activists and protesters this weekend. Of course, the protesters who occupied the streets of our nation's capital for three days were not trying to be heard by just anyone walking around; they were aiming their chants at the entire world, and specifically at the delegates of the World Bank (WB) and International Monetary Fund (IMF), who were holding their biannual meetings on April 16 and 17.
