500 people dance against the FTAA in Sao Paulo

Date: Sun, 03 Nov 2002

One day after the 5 thousand people march that took the streets of Sao Paulo, Brasil, about 5 hundred people ocuppied Republica Square in downtown Sao Paulo for a street party against the FTAA.

A huge sound truck with PGA/ AGP banners and lots of dancing music made the crowd dance all night against the FTAA.

The party was a continuation of protests against the FTAA/ ALCA summit meeting in Quito, Ecuador. It wanted to take people to occupy public space in opposition to continuing privatizing policies that are being negotiated under FTAA.
