I met Willy and heard him speak. I was very impressed, and I hope we can keep contact with him and get a support line going.

He is working with the Indigenous People's Network and helping the EZLN, FZLN in Chiapas.

Seeing the videos from Chiapas that Willy has really makes an impact. These are the real results of NAFTA and GATT on people's lives -- squeezing life from the bottom of the economic spectrum to maximize profits at the top.

He is going back to Mexico to join the indigenous peoples' march. Hopefully he will be in touch and we can spread the news as it develops.
