[Bloquez l'empire!] Anti-Authoritarian, Anti-Capitalist Contingent! Shut Down Atlantica! (fwd)

*** PLEASE FORWARD, FAR AND WIDE ***

This summer while people across the globe converge in Germany to shut down
the meeting of the G8 we will be taking action in the streets of Halifax
to stop the destructive policies of the proponents of Atlantica.  June
14th to 16th, over 500 delegates will meet in Halifax, Nova Scotia to
discuss their plans to go ahead with the Atlantica accord. Atlantica is a
proposed deep integration concept that includes the Canadian Maritime
provinces and the United States north-east states that seeks to harmonize
trade regulations and remove barriers to trade. Like we have seen with
NAFTA and the FTAA these barriers are things such as environmental
regulations, food safety, social services and now minimum wage
legislation. Atlantica is an insult and an attack on our lives!

This is a callout for anti-capitalists of all strides to converge in
Halifax for three days of disruptive action against all manifestations of
global capitalism, as well as a callout for an anti-authoritarian,
anti-capitalist contingent in Friday the 15th's march against Atlantica.
Meet at Victoria park (corner of spring garden and south park street) at
noon.

There will be a spokes council on June 14th at 9:30pm at the downtown
convergence centre.

  See you in the streets!
