Appeal To All Concerned Individuals and Organizations of Conscience

This weekend, April 20-22, the people of the Earth will be engaged in global struggle to define the terms of our future... whether it is to be be a factory farm in which we are commidified along with our very genes and sold like bags of flour, or a world of many worlds living in harmony and cooperation with justice and dignity.

The Summit of the Americas in Quebec City April 20-22 is the symbol and instrument of a world of death and pain for the many, and obscene profits for the few. The Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) Agreement is an outright assualt agianst the rights of labor, the poor, the indigenous, women, and the environment.

The movement that rose in Chaipas with the Zapatistas grew to fill the streets of Seattle, Washington DC, LA, Prague. Now again we gather to stand against the Dictatorship of the Corporations that is NAFTA/FTAA/WTO/IMF in over 65 cities across the globe on April 20-22.

We have been working since last October with organizations in Tijuana BC, San Quintin BC, San Diego, San Francisco, Tucson and all over the west to make our voices heard at the US-Mexico border, the epicenter of imperialist exploitation and "Free" Trade disaster.

We understand that for some, this date will not be available for their participation in person at San Ysidro-Tijuana as we join across the border to celebrate our unity and opposition to the FTAA. We want to make it known that the action this weekend is only a milestone, not the destination of our movement!

Your participation can begin right now, by endorsing with a $25 donation or more to the Border Action Project c/o SEE, and thereby committing your group to a future engagement of your talents and resources. We will have plenty to do in the coming months and years! We must not fail, our children's children cannot accept that result.

in respect and with gratitude,

The people and environment of the world are threatened today by the world's Corporate elite. Through an antidemocratic process of secretly negotiated Trade Agreements, a noose of poverty, racism, environmental destruction and war is being drawn tight around the necks of the people and the planet.

The movement we are creating needs the help of all socially conscious groups, organizations and individuals to succeed. The power of International Corporate interests to control the conditions in which we live for their own selfish benefit is great, BUT THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE IS FAR GREATER!

Join Us on April 21 at the Border

from Quebec to Tijuana to Buenos Aires to Seattle - We will raise our voices to demand Justice and Democracy instead of Corporate Greed!
