There will be a meeting to plan organizing against the FTAA and corporate globalization at Hopkins on July 22.
Tuesday July 22
7pm
Shaffer Hall, room 300, on the main campus of John Hopkins University, Baltimore MD
Meeting of community, labor, and social justice organizations to build a local coalition to oppose the FTAA and organize for the upcoming meetings to take place in Miami at the end of November of this year. All are invited to attend including those of little knowledge of NAFTA, the FTAA and what it means. This meeting will provide a brief educational presentation by a representative from the NGO "Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch", which will include the history of NAFTA, what the FTAA is as an extension of NAFTA, and what it means to our futures.
You should attend this meeting if you have interest in the workings of global economics and how that effects our local economies all in the benefit of multi national corporations, and if you wish to save our way of life while benefiting, not exploiting, working people of the world.
United for Peace and Justice is also organizing for this event, to link the issues of corporate globalization and militarism.
This meeting is being sponsored by Baltimore CAGE (Coalition Against Global Exploitation)
