DESCRIPTION:Globalize This! in conjunction with the Costa Rican Federation for the 
 Conservation of the Environment (FECON),  will be hosting a special event 
 which will look at the consequences of free trade agreements on the 
 Americas with a focus on Central America, specifically Costa Rica.  We will 
 review contemporary struggles of peoples across the American continents 
 against the ratification of the Central America-Dominican Republic Free 
 Trade Agreement (CAFTA).  \n\nWith us we will have guest speaker Fabián 
 Pacheco Rodriguez, the current President of FECON and the son of former 
 Costa Rican President Abel Pacheco. \n\nFabián will be discussing FECON's 
 involvement in Bloque Verde and the Costa Rican movement to defeat CAFTA in 
 the upcoming referendum on October 7, 2007.  Fabián will be coming to us 
 direct from Costa Rica and fresh off the front lines of this historic vote, 
 which is the first time that any population has had the opportunity to vote 
 on a free trade agreement.\n\nThe event will include a screening of 
 segments of two documentaries, "Fourth World War" and "Costa Rica Inc," and 
 will include a discussion of strategies for people in the U.S. to work in 
 solidarity with our comadres and compadres in Central America.\n\nThis is a 
 bilingual English/Spanish event.\n\nCost:\nRequested donation of 
 $5.00-$20.00 \n(everyone is welcome--no one turned away for lack of 
 funds)\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/08/31/18445163.php
