Last meeting we did decide to continue meeting weekly and will be meeting at Rhizome at 7 pm (317 East Broadway). If we don't meet this week hopefully folks can pencil in next week and we can send any updates over this email list.

I brought up the January 1 Collective under the NAFTA discussion and it generated some serious interest and buzz about other possible actions. I'm in touch with an organizer from Quebec who wants to compile a comprehensive list of those opposing the trade agreements and the actions around the NAFTA anniversary.  Pierre-Yves is with le Centre international de solidarité ouvrière  (CISO - http://www.ciso.qc.ca/ ), a pretty damn cool social justice organization that's been around since the mid 70's.  I'll circulate notes from the CCPA Trade & Investment Research Project (TIRP) meeting when I get the OK to do so from the conveners.
