ARIZONA-SONORA JUSTICE ALLIANCE

August 14-17, 2000 - The People Challenge Corporate \"Republicrat\" Dominance of Democracy at L.A. DNC

We stand united in support of people, who struggle for the basics of a dignified human existence: education, a clean & biologically diverse environment, a fair wage, safe working conditions, health care, and political

freedom.

We celebrate the power of citizen activism and organized labor to achieve these basic dignities.

We declare we are not represented by corporate sponsored \"republicrats\" of the two party system.

We acknowledge that increasing corporate control of government and public institutions often leaves labor, human rights, and environmental groups as the last defense against exploitation of workers, communities, and the natural

world.

We are alarmed that through Clinton\/Gore, the Republicans, Congress, and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) powerful corporations in the new global economy ignore borders, laws, and human rights in pursuit of profit, as the

masters of capital turn neighbor against neighbor in a global \"race to the bottom\".

We believe that we must organize to transcend political, geographic, and cultural barriers in order to challenge corporate dominance and protect our communities, no matter what city, country, or continent they inhabit.

We therefore declare an alliance between the forces of labor, environment, community, and religious, in support of the struggle against corporate dominance of our democracy.

We act in order to take responsibility for corporations that are a part of our community.

We call attention to the federal government's destructive policies under Clinton\/Gore--such as NAFTA, WTO, IMF & World Bank, and border militarization which waive and weaken health, environmental, and labor laws.

We demand justice for workers and our planet. We demand responsibility from the corporations represented by the DNC that would exploit them.

We demand that our democracy be shaped to put the needs of people before profit, and ecological recovery and sustainable development before exploitation and environmental destruction.



ALIANZA DE JUSTICIA DE ARIZONA-SONORA

Agosto 14-17, 2000 en L.A. El Pueblo Exige Justicia en la Convencion National Democratica(DNC).

Estamos unidos en apoyo de la gente, que lucha por los derechos basicos para vivir una existencia humana dignificada: educacion, un ambiente biologicamente diverso y limpio, un salario justo, condiciones de trabajos seguras, cuidao medico, y libertad politica.

Celebramos el poder del activismo del ciudadano y de los obreros organizados para alcanzar estos derechos basicos.

Nos declaramos que no somos representados por los \"republicrats\" del sistema de dos partidos, cuales son patricionados por corporaciones.

Reconocemos que el control corporativo del gobierno y institutciones publicas han dejado a grupos de justicia social, obreros, ambientales, y de derechos humanos como la ultima defensa contra la exploitacion de trabajadores, comunidades, y el mundo natural.

Nos alarma que Clinton\/Gore, los republicanos, el congreso, y la Convencion Nacional Democratica, puedan ignorar las fronteras, leyes, derechos humanos en la busqueda de su propio beneficio.

Creemos que debiamos organizarnos para transcender las barerras politicas, geograficas, y culturales y asi desafiar la dominacion corporativa y proteger nuestras comunidades, en cualqiuer ciudad, pais o continente.

Por lo tanto declaramos una alianza entre las fuerzas obreras, ambientales, religiosas, y la de comunidades para poder apoyar la lucha contra la dominacion corporativa de nuestra democracia.
