San Francisco: Resist the FTAA In Solidarity with the Zapatista March on Mexcio City, Friday Feb. 23, 2001

4:30: Declaration of Resistance, Street Theater, Spoken Word, Music.....
Senator Feinstein's office, Market at Post/2nd St., SF.

5:30: PROCESSION to the Mexican Consulate, Flood Building, Market near Powell.

This is the kick-off event of Bay Area resistance to the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA).

From the folks who brought us NAFTA and the WTO, the FTAA is the global economic system's latest strategy to further social and ecological destruction in pursuit of greater profit and power. The FTAA poses an unprecedented threat to working people, the environment, students and teachers, public health, immigrants, farmers, indigenous peoples, and communities in North, South and Central America, Canada, and the Caribbean.

* A civil society delegation to the offices of Senators Boxer and Feinstein will demand they publicly oppose the FTAA and Fast Track Legislation. Join us in meeting with Feinstein's aide from 4:30 to 5:30 PM.

* On February 25 the representatives of the of the Zapatistas will come down from themountains of Chiapas and march on Mexico City. No one knows what will happen, but Mexico will never be the same - we shouldn't be either. We will march to the Mexican consulate to support their just demands for peace and autonomy.

Another world is possible and a global movement is rising up to make it happen!
