Why should you join the mobilization in Sacramento?
16-06-2003

Wars are being fought on many fronts, and the backroom deals which ensure that the majority of the world's population are kept under the heel of Empire are as much a target for people who believe in peace and justice as opposition to murderous armies and bombing campaigns in Afghanistan or Iraq. The Sacramento mobilization is time to show that we understand it is not enough for those of us who live in the US to turn out in hundreds of thousands at the outbreak of a military invasion - we need to be looking for strategic opportunities to confront Empire on an ongoing basis to turn this nation 180 degrees and walk together in a radically new direction.

...It is widely recognized that controversy over agriculture is the achilles heel of 'free trade' agreements such as the World Trade Organization and the Free Trade Area of the Americas. Some have even suggested that the whole WTO process could unravel at the WTO meeting in Mexico this September if there is continued failure to reach agreement on agriculture. While the Sacramento ministerial is not actually billed as a WTO meeting, the timing of this meeting to gather support for the US position on agriculture in the run up to the WTO ministerial in Mexico is no coincidence.

From June 23-25 in Sacramento, the US Department of Agriculture, the Agency for International Development, and the State Department are hosting government ministers from 180 nations and transnational corporate reps to lay out the US government and agribusiness' vision for the future of the world. A major grassroots mobilization and convergence is planned in Sacramento from June 20-25. This is an opportunity for people to say no to a genetically engineered future, and to voice instead a living world vision, rooted in social justice and ecological sanity...

Why should you join the mobilization in Sacramento?
Rona spreadthenews, 15-06-2003

A major grassroots mobilization and convergence is planned in Sacramento from June 20-25. This is an opportunity for people to say no to a genetically engineered future, and to voice instead a living world vision, rooted in social justice and ecological sanity. It is also a chance to stand in solidarity with the people's movements and hundreds of peasant farmers groups from around the world that have called on social movements in the US to denounce and protest this meeting.

Activists Descend Upon Agribusiness Mini-WTO in Sacramento
14-06-2003

Mobilization for Sacramento On June 22-25, the 180 WTO member states will send senior trade ministers to Sacramento for a "Ministerial Conference and Expo on Agricultural Science and Technology," a stepping stone to the September WTO Ministerial in Cancun and November's FTAA Summit in Miami. The conference and expo will highlight the "benefits" of transnational agribusiness and biotechnology. Neither event is open to the public. The US government hopes to use this mini-WTO to impose its corporate agricultural agenda on the rest of the world, including new technologies such as genetic engineering.

Come to Sacramento!
Hecate, 13-06-2003

There is only one life. It is the life of resistance. The lives of millions are on the line. The corporate interests want to own all the water, all the food, all the land, all the trees, all the species, all the seeds, all the biology, all life. When they are through we will have no air, no water, no earth, no life force.

Come to Sacramento and resist. There is nothing more important.
