2 pm: Festival at Chevron Refinery, Point Richmond
Two years after its defeat in Seattle, the World Trade Organization(WTO) will meet again, November 9-13, in Doha, Qatar,a Persian Gulf dictatorship where protest is all but illegal. In response, people across the globe are localizing their resistance to once again stop the WTO's destructive agenda. After the tragedies of September 11, as the world mourns, as the US government bombs Afghanistan, as racist attacks take place, as our freedoms come under fire, and as the government manipulates this tragedy to push "free trade" agreements including dangerous new WTO agreements at the November meeting, it is now more important than ever to stand up for global justice as the foundation for real security. Our work for global justice is inseparable from our local community efforts against the day-to-day impact of the global system at the root of our social, economic and ecological problems environmental racism, skyrocketing incarceration, attacks on immigrant rights, housing displacement, low wages, lousy working conditions and cuts in social services.
On Friday, November 9 and Saturday, November 10, we will support local environmental justice movements' fights against the toxic pollution from PG&E facilities across San Francisco and from Chevron and other industries in Richmond. PG&E and Chevron epitomize the corporations that benefit from WTO "free trade" policies, devastating local communities and environments across the globe from San Francisco, to Richmond, to Nigeria, to Ecuador and everywhere in between. November 10 is the anniversary of the execution of Nigerian environmentalist and Ogoni leader Ken Saro Wiwa. On the agenda for the WTO meeting in November are ways to expand corporate control over energy and oil, among other devastating negotiating topics.
Another world is possible and a global & local movement is rising up to make it happen. Join us!
