A WEEK FOR PEACE & GLOBAL JUSTICE

Around the anniversary of September 11 and as the World Trade Organization
Ministerial is met with popular resistance in Cancun, Mexico, people across the globe will take action against empire, corporate globalization, war, occupation and its devastation of our communities.

We commemorate September 11th-- our grief is a cry for peace and global justice, not a pretext for wars of empire or attacks on our civil liberties and immigrant communities. Please join and help shift history


A Better World is Possible!
