What is the FTAA and Corporate Globalization?
The Free Trade
Area of Americas (FTAA) is an international business deal, disguised
as a proposed treaty, that would create the world's
largest free market zone—
affecting 650 million people and $9 trillion in capital.
What’s
wrong with the FTAA?
•
The FTAA allows corporations
to bypass democratically
adopted environmental
or worker protection laws, increasing corporate power
while
endangering the lives of millions of people, disproportionately
affecting women and people of color.
• The FTAA threatens to commodify our lives by turning over
the control of our schools, electricity, water, and food to corporations
whose only interest is more profit.
• The FTAA is being negotiated in secret. Initiated in 1994
by the 34 countries of North and South America (excluding Cuba),
governments have included the business sector in FTAA talks every
step of the way, but have kept the text of the treaty secret from
regular people and their elected representatives. 50 members of
the US House of Representatives have written to the Bush administration
demanding that the text
be released.
For more examples of what's wrong with
the FTAA
Can
the FTAA be stopped?
Since
the system corporate globalization hurts nearly every sector of
society, it paradoxically offers the possibility of uniting broad
sectors into a mass movement capable of not only stopping the FTAA,
but creating radical social change. The history of the international
movement against globalization shows the challenges, but also the
possibilities of globalizing human need, not corporate greed. By
reclaiming control over our daily lives through community and mass
action we can overcome. The movement for direct democracy has already
begun!
STOP THE COMODIFICATION OF OUR LIVES!

More about the FTAA
Continue Resisting!!!!
The
FTAA has not yet been defeated. The presence of thousands of people
in the streets of Quebec City and in other cities throughout the
Americas illuminated the FTAA for all to see it for what it really
is, but the struggle is far from over. We have the power to stop
global trade and corporate elitism by organizing and educating ourselves
so that we can topple the philosophy of greed and replace it with
our own vision for the future. What do you want to do to stop the
FTAA?
