------------------------- Via Workers World News Service Reprinted from the March 29, 2001 issue of Workers World newspaper ------------------------- ANTI-CAPITALISTS GEAR UP FOR QUEBEC: ALL OUT FOR A20! By Sarah Sloan In April 2001--one year after protests rocked the meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in Washington--activists from the anti-globalization movement will again rise up in protest outside a meeting of capitalist vultures. This time it's the Summit of the Americas in Quebec City, Canada on April 20-22--a meeting of heads of state and trade ministers representing every country in the Western Hemisphere except socialist Cuba. There they will discuss the "Free Trade Area of the Americas"--a politely named plan led by U.S. banks and corporations to super-exploit the western hemisphere. Thousands of people from all over Canada, the U.S. and the world will converge in Quebec City and numerous other cities, in what will be another manifestation of a worldwide anti-globalization and anti-capitalist movement. Border crossings and demonstrations will take place in Cornwall, on the New York State border; northern Vermont; Buffalo, New York; Tijuana, Mexico/San Diego, CA; and other locations. Look for the Workers World Party signs and banners at all of these activities. Join in our contingents and help get the word out about a planned, socialist alternative to the profit-driven capitalist system. The International Action Center will be organizing transportation from a variety of cities as well as providing other organizational and logistical support.
