KWRU PREPARES TO PARTICIPATE IN MIAMI FTAA DEMONSTRATIONS

In addition to concerns regarding the past conduct of Miami Chief of Police John Timony, former head of the Philadelphia Police Department, that faced the KWRU as we made our way into Miami, we also arrived to find no churches, community centers, or schools willing to house our members and their children. As always, the KWRU will not let a housing crisis deter us from making our voices heard during these critical demonstrations.

After spending years organizing around the devastating impacts of NAFTA and the destruction we believe the FTAA will ultimately bring, we are asking people to please send contributions through our website as we are having to place poor families anywhere we can right now.

Because we represent the faces of those impacted by globalization, it's important that not only organized labor, students and the religious community participate in the demonstrations, but that the poor themselves are not made to disappear at these events.

If your group is going to Miami and would like to participate in the KWRU action, meet at Margaret Pace Park located at Bayshore Drive and NE 18th street on Friday, November 21st at 12pm. For more information please email Cecilia Garza at students@kwru.org.

We thank you for your support.
