DESCRIPTION:From Nov. 12th to Nov. 17th in San Francisco, CA, 21 heads of state, over 
 1200 CEOs of global corporations, and thousands of corporate lobbyists, 
 government officials and “free trade” delegates will come to the Asia 
 Pacific Economic Cooperation’s Summit to further their drive for profits, 
 and their control over our political, economic, and cultural life, as well 
 as the rapidly deteriorating climate. Their long-time strategy to 
 concentrate power and wealth, funds police states around the Asia-Pacific 
 and Latin America region, locks in an unsustainable fossil fuel economy and 
 silences our voices of resistance.\n\nThousands will descend on the San 
 Francisco Bay Area in a mass of community, creativity, and resistance to 
 demonstrate what’s possible in the face of poverty, human rights abuses 
 and the climate crisis. There will be a week of action beginning with the 
 Peoples’ Counter Summit on Nov. 11th, then the November 12th Mass 
 Mobilization, a variety of autonomous actions around the Bay Area and a 
 mass direct action at APEC’s CEO summit on Nov. 15th.\n\nOn Wednesday, 
 November 15th, we’re planning a large scale, well organized, high 
 visibility action to SHUT DOWN the APEC Summit.\n\nHundreds of people will 
 put their bodies on the line, reflecting the diversity of groups and 
 communities impacted by APEC’s militarism, neo-liberalism and climate 
 destruction. We envision colorful and festive actions that will creatively 
 block CEOs and dictators from meeting. We will make space and encourage 
 mutual respect for a variety of action styles reflecting our different 
 groups and communities.\n\nWe will gather at Powell Street BART Plaza, 
 where Powell St meets Market Street, in San Francisco at 7am on Wednesday, 
 November 15th.\n\nAnother world is possible, and our movements of 
 resistance are rising up to make it happen.\n\nJoin us. Come to San 
 Francisco.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2023/10/19/18859745.php
