Sierra Youth Coalition (SYC) is organizing
the "Trade Train" across the country to the World
Trade Organization (WTO) meetings in Seattle. The
train leaves Halifax on Nov.20, crosses Canada, and
arrives in BC on the 26th, picking up people, and
doing Teach-Ins, actions, and media events along the
way.
Citizens and community groups in cities across the
country are asked to demonstrate against the WTO
and corporate rule. Demonstrations will be held at
corporate and government offices and financial districts.
Aaron Koleszar, SYC "Trade Train" organizer asks "What
are we trading away? Our forests? Worker's rights?
Endangered species? Our right to regulate genetically
engineered food? Democracy? There is nothing fair
about free trade. It's a race to the top for large
corporations and a race to the bottom for us."
