Re-percussions of the FTAA
On March 29th, the 34 Ministers of the Environment of the Americas will meet in Montreal. This is an official meeting scheduled within the Free Trade Area Of The Americas (FTAA) process.
Let's show them and the world... The Re-PERCUSSIONS of the FTAA!
Let us meet in Montreal on March 29th in front of Hotel Omni - corner of Peel and Sherbrooke for a PEACEFUL PROTEST.
- We'll drum our discontent on the water jugs we have to buy because our fresh water lakes are so polluted! They will hear our voices on water privatization.
- Empty barrels decorated with words such as MMT, PCB's, toxic chemicals, etc.... will loudly illustrate the infamous problems associated in NAFTA.
- Bang empty pots and pans to show our concern for food issues like GMO's and world hunger.
- Tam-tams will thunder for aboriginal land rights and the destruction of cultures.
- Group circle of silence to lament habitat destruction, the degradation of biodiversity, the decimation of forests throughout the Americas, and the animal and plant species threatened with extinction
Be creative! Music. Art. Theater. Lets captivate the attention of the media and the public. Be heard: bring music, song, and chants.
Be seen: come costumed as plants and creatures of the forests, genetically modified corn and tomatoes, etc. Send your creative action ideas to bsarwe@po-box.mcgill.ca, to help evolve our demonstration and ensure that the public be made aware and concerned about the state of affairs with the environment.
As well, we intend to publicly request that the Ministers, on this occasion, attend an one hour information session on the FTAA and the environment, graciously offered by us.
Send your requests for issues to be highlighted, to bsarwe@po-box.mcgill.ca, and we will demand that these requests be entered on the Ministers' agendas. We will show them what the real issues are! THE PLANET IS DYING AND THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY IS THREATENED WITH EXTINCTION!!!
Let our music be a cymbal of our resistance to the FTAA — And a declaration that we will not rest until this poisonous agreement is dead and gong!
This call for nonviolent action is being sent to you by Operation SalAMI, S.O.S. Gaïa, and the Table of Convergence in opposition to the Summit of the Americas. Numerous ecological groups as well as militant percussion groups have already answered the call.
This is a public assembly! 12:00 noon sharp! March 29th in front of Hotel Omni - corner of Peel and Sherbrooke.
