ftaa-l is a new international e-mail list about the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) and the upcoming Summit of the Americas meeting in Quebec City (April 2001). The FTAA is the proposed extension of NAFTA to the entire hemisphere (except Cuba) by 2005.

ftaa-l is intended to share information, analysis, announcements, news, opinion articles, organizing and protest info, direct action reports, and hard-to-find corporate or government insider information, related to the FTAA negotiations and the Summit of the Americas process.

ftaa-l is for activists, researchers, organizers, writers, independent journalists, and individuals, anywhere in the world, who approach the FTAA and globalization issues with a critical perspective -- ranging from reformist alternatives to more radical analyses. It is also intended as a resource for grassroots mobilization efforts against the FTAA, and capitalism more generally.

Keep in mind that ftaa-l is NOT a discussion list, but rather an information resource; as such, it is moderated. ftaa-l is an English language list. zlea-l is the corresponding French language list, while alca-l is both the Spanish and Portuguese list.
