The Free Trade Area of the Americas is a bold bid for corporate domination of the western hemisphere and of our lives. If passed it will further concentrate power and wealth into the hands of a few. The FTAA trade agreement poses an unprecedented threat to working people, our water, air and forests, education, public health, housing and humanity.

In Quebec City, Canada on April 20 the heads of 34 governments of the Americas and hundreds of corporations will meet in secret to negotiate the FTAA text in the midst of a city that is being turned into a police state. Tens of thousands of people from every sector of society will stand up to the FTAA in Quebec City and in solidarity actions around the world. The actual working text of the FTAA has been kept secret from the peoples of the Americas whose communities it would devastate.

Groups in Canada and the US have demanded their governments release the secret FTAA text by April 1st. While we are in the streets of San Francisco, people in Ottawa, Vancouver, Boston and other US and Canadian cities will demand releasing of the secret FTAA text and will take direct action on April 2 if they don’t receive it.

Everywhere people are rising up against this global economic system and creating a world of our own making in its place. From Chiapas to Brazil to the Bay Area, people are replacing this fundamentally undemocratic system with ecological, directly democratic, community-controlled alternatives.
