On 9-13 November 2001 the WTO will hold its bi-annual ministerial conference in Doha, Qatar. We must oppose these meetings with international action.
On 9-13 November 2001 the WTO will hold its bi-annual ministerial conference in Doha, Qatar. After the debacle of 1999's conference in Seattle at which activists managed to effectively shut down the meetings, the WTO has done the cowardly thing and decided to meet in a far off nation, with very little tolerance of dissent and a lack of respect for freedom of speech and assembly. We must respond to this brazen action by holding demonstrations internationally. Whether this means everyone staging a local action or tens of thousands of activists converging on several regional centres around the world, we must not be silent this fall!
To help plan tactics for these actions and to develop a consensus as to where we as a movement wish to stage them I encourage all who are interested to join a newly created e-mail list for this purpose. To join the list send an email to:

Anyone interested in stopping the WTO this fall is welcome to join.
In Solidarity,
Comrade Black

As for this list - out of experience i would only join lists if i knew who was behind it - there will be 1000's pop up over the next few months and most will be by political parties or NGO's trying to get you over to their veiw. For me lists are useful for information so i can make my own mind up and my afinity group can act according to our own desires - so you need to know a lists background before you can decide how to readthe information. That said maybe this is a great list - i don't want to judge, but many of these can just be full of ranters and put anyone off ever doing anything.
Building afinity groups are important now, we need autonomous groups to start thinking about the issues the WTO meting raises and think how they might like to act to stop it. So the most constructive thing you can do if you feel alone in all this is find others in your area who feel the same and self educate, then there is less need to rely on the dogma of established parties who only really want you in a numbers game!
act now!
