>Hundreds of events are planned in national capitals and other cities 
>around the world to coincide with the 4th Ministerial of the World 
>Trade Organization (WTO) from November 9-13. Activities are planned 
>across all continents, including in the following countries: 
>Australia, Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, 
>Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, the Netherlands, Nigeria, 
>Norway, Philippines, Qatar, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, 
>Switzerland, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey and the U.S. Activities will 
>be diverse and colorful and include public fora, teach-ins, trade 
>parades, demonstrations, street theater etc.
>
>Choosing Doha, Qatar as the site for the Ministerial in part was 
>designed to avoid public participation and scrutiny. Civil society 
>is severely restricted in terms of access to the Ministerial. The 
>anti-corporate globalization movement that started in Seattle has 
>only grown in depth, diversity and size since then. This movement 
>cannot be silenced. More and more people around the world are living 
>with the negative consequences of a cynical globalization agenda: 
>lack of adequate healthcare; no access to schools; loss of 
>livelihood and jobs; a deteriorating environment; elimination of 
>family farms and weakening of food security and safety. If the 
>proponents of the status-quo globalization model thought that 
>locating the WTO Ministerial in Qatar could silence civil society 
>they were wrong. Instead we have brought our voices and our WTO 
>critique home to communities all over the world.
