Trade
ministers from throughout the hemisphere will meet in Cancun,
Mexico,
from September 10-14 trying to expand the powers of the World
Trade
Organization. This is the first meeting of the WTO in this hemisphere
since
the famous “battle in Seattle” and civil society will
respond again with
vigor and determination. We must derail the WTO!

workshops in Cancun. The Mexico Solidarity Network “Rumbo
a Cancun”

program and networking opportunities for activists who want to
participate
in these historic events.
