INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PROTEST AGAINST THE WTO
-- NOVEMBER 9, 2001 Montreal Area Action Proposition --

DAY OF PROTEST -- November 9th, 2001
WEEK OF ACTION -- November 9th to 13th, 2001

WE DEMAND NO WTO NEGOTIATING ROUND IN DOHA, QATAR

COMMUNITIES ACROSS CANADA ARE MOBILIZING FOR N9.

Part of the new negotiating round will include negotiations on key agreements like the GATS (General Agreement on Trade in Services), TRIPs (Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights) and the AoA (Agreement on Agriculture).

These WTO agreements allow transnational corporations control over every area of our lives -- from healthcare to education to clean and accessible drinking water. We have no say in the decisions our government leaders and their corporate friends are making.

WHO IS DOING THIS?

All of us together! Our community organizations, our friends and neighbours, and our local networks and coalitions -- together we will educate, agitate and organize!!!

Here in Montreal we can organize to participate in this international day of protest, we will organize. In spirit of the organizing that went into the FTAA demonstration in Quebec city last year and the organizing that happens in our communities on a daily basis we call for a Montreal action on N9.

The WTO meetings in Qatar provide us with the opportunity to mobilize within a diversity of communties. With the focus being taken off housing and transportation for activists coming from distant places we will organize and mobilize throughout Montreal’s communties.

Start organizing NOW for November. Ideas include -- public debates, occupying MP offices and/or corporate offices, holding protests outside key corporate headquarters, conducting a corporate friends bus-tour, organizing job walk-outs and direct action.

Join people around the world in protesting WTO meetings in Qatar on N9.
