More Global Days Of Action

Several groups are proposing that November 30th be adopted as the next International Day of Action, along the lines of June 18. November 30th is the second day of the World Trade Organisation's Third Ministerial Summit in Seattle. People's Global Action (the network of grassroots struggles against the WTO) is meeting in India at the end of August to plan mobilisations against the conference. There will also be a caravan project similar to the recent InterContinental Caravan of Indian farmers, wending its way across North America to Seattle.

Fairly independently, some people who managed to persevere with the June 18th email discussion email mailing list despite all the right wing shit and irrelevant postings that plagued it, have set up a new email list to co-ordinate resistance on this day. If you're on the internet you can join it from the website: http://no2wto.listbot.com. Several groups in the UK are considering more local action on this date.

Alternatively, the Canadian Postal Workers Union have proposed a day of action on May 1st 2000, co-ordinated internationally be the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions.
