>		The PGA call to action against the WTO summit in Qatar
>
>Peoples Global Action calls on all grassroots social movements, community
>based organisations, trade unions, student organisations, indigenous
>peoples, farmers organisations, autonomous collectives and everyone who
>wishes to participate around the world to carry out actions against the
>World Trade Organisation (WTO) during the next ministerial summit in
>Doha, Qatar, November 9th-13th, 2001.
>
>The WTO¥s aim is very simple: to remove anything that gets in the way of
>big business and free trade, upholding the freedom for multinational
>companies to act as they please. Made up of 135 member countries, the
>WTO polices international trade rules and continues to set an agenda that
>places profit above people and the planet.
>
>Faced with a rapidly expanding grassroots resistance to capitalist
>globalisation, the WTO has fled to an isolated desert dictatorship for
>its next meeting. Already built into the agenda are three immensely
>destructive trade agreements: the Agreement on Agriculture (AOA), the
>General Agreement on Trade and Services (GATS) and the Trade Related
>Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). Between them, they cover issues
>like:
>the privatisation of health, education and water, forcing GMO foods and
>seeds on member countries and patents on life forms.
>
>		THEY CAN RUN BUT THEY CAN`T HIDE: WE ARE EVERYWHERE!
>
>RESIST THE WTO THROUGHOUT THE WORLD THROUGH DIRECT ACTION AND CIVIL
>DISOBEDIENCE  WHEREVER COMMUNITIES ARE DESTROYED AND ECOSYSTEMS SACRIFICED
>FOR THE SAKE OF FREE TRADE!
>
>Regardless of whether the WTO meeting is maintained or not, we will be in
>the streets, because the streets are ours. Grassroots organisations all
>over the world  are organising the following kinds of actions and call
>on others to do the same:
>
>1) Awareness-raising campaigns against WTO and the effect of their
>policies on a global and local level: community based consultations,
>counter-meetings, public debates, publications.
>2) Maximum disruption of the work of the trade ministers attending the
>conference: demands for the publication of national positions, blocking
>of communications or of departures of delegations, etc.
>3) Mass coordinated actions on a national and international level: work
>stoppages, road blocks, occupation of stock exchanges and other
>financial institutions (New York, San Francisco, Sao Paolo...), liberation of
>grain stocks (India) on Nov. 9th.
>4) Decentralised local action: land occupations, creative demonstrations
>of grassroots alternatives... Nov. 9th-13th.
