DESCRIPTION:Globalize This! SFORGANIZING MEETING:Saturday, August 11 at 1:00 
 p.m.\nRevolution Cafe in the Mission at 3248 22nd Street at 
 Bartlett.Globalize This! is a new group looking to coalesce activists, 
 community organizers, and other organizations in the Bay Area in opposition 
 to corporate globalization and so-called 'free trade' agreements. Free 
 trade institutions such as the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the 
 International Monetary Fund (IMF) and treaties such as NAFTA and the Free 
 Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) are protecting wealth and solidifying the 
 power of multinational corporations at the expense of the environment and 
 workers around the world.  Globalize This! SF seeks to coordinate 
 activities, events, actions, and public forums that will help raise 
 awareness about the negative impacts of neo-liberal policies, develop 
 innovative campaigns to build a diverse activist base and deliver concrete 
 results in the struggle against the corporate globalization agenda, and 
 work in solidarity with other anti-neoliberalism groups world-wide.It's 
 about fighting against so-called 'free trade' and 'globalization.'  It's 
 about opposing policies that grant greater powers to wealthy international 
 investors and large corporations.  It's about struggling against 
 international pharmaceutical companies that want to use 'free trade' 
 agreements to protect their patents and prevent poor people from getting 
 the medication they need.  It's about opposing trade agreements that create 
 exclusive rights for Northern capitalist nations to export their And it's 
 about fighting for workers' rights, the environment, the rights of 
 indigenous peoples throughout the Americas. It's about defending poor 
 people's access to free and affordable medicine and health care.  It's 
 about protecting our natural resources from corporate plunder, and it's 
 about refocusing the global debate on human need. It's about globalizing 
 our citizenship to see our own interconnectedness with all peoples of the 
 world.It's about being creative and defiant. And it's about being an active 
 force of change.It's about making a difference in the time that we are 
 given on this planet.WHAT WE CAN DOEmail us at info [at]
