Mass march against the FTAA
• Anti-war demonstrations planned in the world’s largest cities

THE World Social Forum bade farewell to Porto Alegre with a mass march against the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) project and a call for protest demonstrations against war, neoliberal globalization and other political, economic and social ills affecting peoples.

A parallel call went out against anti-Venezuelan militarization and economic aggression and the blockade of Cuba imposed by the United States for more than 40 years.

Simultaneous protest marches against war on Iraq are to be organized and supported by social movements in the 30 largest cities of the world.

In one of the forum sessions, eminent U.S. linguist Noam Chomsky stated that the Bush administration is stirring up fear and terrifying the U.S. people in order to justify its proposed war on Iraq.

Arundathi Roy, the prestigious peace activist, affirmed that the most ridiculous lie used to justify the aggression is the alleged U.S. commitment to bringing democracy to Iraq. Killing people under that pretext is a sport much practiced by the United States, he warned.
