DESCRIPTION:From California to Cancun: \nChallenging the Economics of Empire\n\nA free 
 event against the WTO  . . . and War by other means!\n\nTuesday, August 
 19th, 7:00 - 9:30 p.m.\nNew College Theater, 777 Valencia Street, San 
 Francisco, CA\n\nNot since the Battle of Seattle in 1999 has the World 
 Trade Organization (WTO) met in a place where dissent is allowed.  But 
 that's what trade ministers will face when they gather in Cancun, Mexico, 
 from 10-14 September, in another attempt to globalize corporate rights over 
 peoples' lives and the natural world.  Like Seattle, Cancun will see local 
 peoples' movements confronting global corporate power, all converging in a 
 crucible of direct action and diplomacy that could determine the future of 
 the international economy.  Unlike Seattle, most protesters won't be 
 wearing winter coats and rain boots, but the sandals and sombreros of 
 Mexican campesinos, who are staging a massive mobilization against free 
 trade.  Mayan and other indigenous peoples are planning a large presence on 
 the streets of Cancun, too.  And on every continent, anti-war organizers 
 are preparing worldwide solidarity actions to reject WTO's economic 
 violence and to reinforce the message of peace.\n\n•  What are the major 
 issues for WTO in Cancun?\n•  What's being planned for peaceful 
 protests?\n•  How can you get involved, whether in Cancun or 
 California?\n\nSpeakers:\n\nVictor Menotti, International Forum on
