Economic oppression and military repression are flip sides of the same coin.

The economic terrorism inflicted on the poor that accompanies "free trade"

could not stand without the repressive military apparatus that brutalizes

people who rise up to resist. Those who oppose the globalization of greed

and those who work to end US training of repressive foreign armies are

joined in one effort.

Concerned citizen from all over North America will converge from November

19-21, 2003 in Miami, Florida to voice their opposition to the Free Trade

Area of the Americas agreement (FTAA) and from November 22-23 in Ft.

Benning, Georgia to speak out against the School of the Americas (SOA).

Miami will be the host of the FTAA ministerial meeting, which brings

together the trade ministers of the hemisphere to launch the final stage of

the FTAA negotiations. Fort Benning is the home of the School of the

Americas, where repressive Latin American troops are being trained as the

military muscle to enforce exploitative policies.

LASC III in April in DC:

Grassroots groups from across the USA and Canada are converging from April

10-14, 2003 in Washington, DC for the Mobilization against the Military and

Economic Intervention in Latin America and the Caribbean. The April

Mobilization will include the Latin America Solidarity Conference III (LASC

III) with educational workshops about "free trade"/free market plans and

issues of militarization, direct action trainings and a November 2003

strategy session for activists who are interested in networking with other

groups and doing educational work as well as nonviolent direct action

trainings in their home communities in preparation for the protests in

Miami, Florida and Fort Benning, Georgia.
