As the World Trade Organization meets in Cancun, Mexico, people across the globe will take action against corporate globalization, war, occupation and its devastation of our communities.
We also commemorate September 11th-- our grief is a cry for peace and global justice, not a pretense for wars of empire or attacks on our civil liberties and immigrant communities. Please get involved, make it happen, and help shift history. A Better World is Possible!

Action for Local Global Justice Weekly meetings:
Neighbors for Peace and Global Justice Bay Area, peace and justice groups call for neighborhood gatherings to activate and educate as many people as possible. At least 50 communities across the US are planning solidarity actions, to coincide with the actions in Cancun to protest the next global meeting of the World Trade Organization. Existing or newly formed neighborhood groups will hold neighborhood gatherings; as simple as a get-together with outreach or as elaborate as a block party with food, music, and art-making. Anyone-can-do-it Organize Your Neighborhood Event Kits available on the web or by mail. Please consider convening an event in your neighborhood or find if one is already planned: Bay Area United for Peace & Justice (415) 575-5555
