Fw: Summit of the Americas: Quebec City protests




 The FTAA is coming to Quebec City. It brings with it, the head of every
 government in North America (except Cuba), 6000 cops (with tear gas and
 plastic bullets), a 4m high and 4km long  "security" fence, a freshly
 emptied prison for up to 800 political prisoners, and the possibility of
 the largest youth and worker mobilization since Seattle 1999. Members of
 Youth For International Socialism will be there in force, putting forward
 the Marxist solution to Globalization. Over the next few days we will
 include analysis of the movement plus eyewitness reports from the
 demonstration itself. The first of these is published here.
