Promote a binational day of protest on April 21st to support the mobilization in Quebec, Canada. We will show that they are not alone. Living on the US/Mexico border we know the consequences of the Neoliberal free trade: freedom for businesses in both countries, army and higher border fences for people. 2. Support the struggle of maquiladora workers and farmworkers of San Quintin, Baja California. The April 21st campaign will publicize these struggles and obtain material aid for progressive organizations in Baja California's maquiladoras and the San Quintin farmworkers. 3. The Network of the Globaliphobics is asking Indigenous farmworker groups in San Quintin to promote a protest in their area, if that action strengthens their strugle and organization. [Resolution of the Globaliphobic Conference, Oct. 2000] If San Quintin' groups accept to organize a April 21st protest in the Valley of San Quintin, the Coalition Stop FTAA will promote this protest and coordinate it with the border protest. 4. Support the delegation of the EZLN from Chiapas to Mexico City. The Network of the Globaliphobics is endorsing the caravan that will leave from Tijuana to Mexico City to meet the EZLN delegation on March 6, 2001. We propose that the FTAA coalition endorese and promote financial support for the caravan. The caravan will meet the Comandancia General of EZLN. They will invite them to attend the April 21st protest in Baja California/California and write a public declaration supporting the US / Mexico border demonstration. The Globaliphobics are proposing that the caravan to Mexico is named: "Cosme Damian Presente. Freedom to Mumia Abul-Jamal." 5. Ask all groups in the Stop FTAA Coalition San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco and other cities to endorse a public declaration explaining that we will organize a non-violent protest with no civil desobedience or property destruction. If we demonstrate in the border area, we don't want to give excuses to the Army and Border Patrol to repress us. We will promote the participation of different groups of workers, students, religious organizations, unions, migrants, Chicanos/as, rather than create spectacular shows for the media.
