NATIONAL WEEK OF ACTION TO TARGET THE SPP! AUGUST 10TH- AUGUST 16TH

From FreeWiki

August 20th is a continental day of action to oppose the SPP, a highly secretive agreement between US, Mexico, and Canada. The SPP is essentially NAFTA-plus-Homeland Security, firmly rooted within a colonial and capitalist framework. There is no doubt that the SPP will bring greater insecurity and misery: murderous wars and occupations abroad; border militarization; increased detentions and deportations; attacks on indigenous peoples, the poor, migrants, and working people; ecological destruction; and mega-projects in the service of corporate greed.

Leading upto August 20th, grassroots groups and networks are organizing a national week of action to target the SPP and those behind the SPP- the corporate lobby behind the North American Competitiveness Council and government bodies such as security insitutions and trade departements.

We strongly encourage other cities and towns to join us in this national week of action, as well as to organize mobilizations on August 20th. For a list of corporate targets visit: http://noii-van.resist.ca/?p=438
