On October 7th, Costa Ricans will go to the polls for a referendum on the Central America - Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement (DR-CAFTA/TLC in spanish). The latest move in the U.S. neo-liberal agenda for Latin America has met widespread resistance in Costa Rica. Marches and protests have led to resignation of a vice president over CAFTA related controversies.
A solidarity event with the anti-CAFTA resistance in Costa Rica will be held at Station 40 on Sunday, September 30th, at 6pm. Event Announcement
