CLAC
-Anti-Capitalist Convergence
 The
CLAC is an autonomous, decentralized and non-hierarchical,
group that rejects bureaucratic, top-down models of organizing.
Respecting a diversity of tactics, the CLAC supports the
use of a variety of creative initiatives, ranging from popular
education to direct action. With regards to the Summit of
the Americas, and the FTAA, the CLAC adopts a confrontational
attitude, and rejects
reformist alternatives like lobbying which cannot have a
major impact on inherently anti-democratic processes.
