Hondurans protest the ratification of CAFTA in March
This is from CISPES (The Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador):
CAFTA THE FINAL COUNTDOWN! THURSDAY JULY 14TH - 12 NOON
Cannon Office Building
(Independence and New Jersey Avenues SE, Washington, DC)
Join Central American solidarity groups, environmental and labor rights organizations to DENOUNCE CAFTA as another in a series of human rights violations in Central America.
THU 7/14 anti-CAFTA bus & caravan to D.C.
(bus info try 212 465-8115 ext 205, 718 832 9399, burke@cispes.org)
Departure time: 6:00 am in a bus provided by 1199, with 45 people.
Final planning meeting for the trip Monday July 11,6:00 pm, conf. room at 1199 (8th Ave & 43rd st).
The Current situation: the vote in the House is coming between July 11 and July 28 - before the August recess. We still have the advantage in votes and a great possibility of defeating CAFTA. In New York, Meeks from Queens is our primary target, and Towns from Brooklyn is also getting pressure.
In the last week, we made 500 calls to their districts to get constituents to call them.
Also, there are 4 upstate republicans (Walsh, McHugh, Kelly, and Boelhert) that we could still win over.
