First, if you can, mobilize to Cancun. We must shut down the WTO.
From September 10 to 14, the World Trade Organization (WTO) will hold its Fifth Ministerial meeting in Cancun, Mexico. Pushed by multinational corporations, the United States, the European Union, and other developed countries are seeking to launch a new round of "free trade" negotiations and expand corporate globalization - further eroding human rights, workers' rights, environmental protections, and democracy - in the interest of corporate control.
If you can't make it to Cancun...
We call on people in San Diego, California and throughout the United States to join together at the San Diego/Tijuana border on September 13th to resist the WTO and the failed model of corporate globalization, and highlight the links between militarism and "free trade," through a wide variety of creative means: teach-ins, protests, direct action, street theater, cultural events, public forums, and so on.
Can be found here: flyers. Please print and distribute.
Please note that the time for the main rally on Sept 13th has been moved up to 11am. this schedule is subject to change, please check this website frequently for updates...
