A broad spectrum of anti-globalisation activist groups and non-government organisations meeting in Mexico City on November 15-16 decided to organise protests in opposition to the World Trade Organisation's next ministerial meeting in Cancun, Mexico, September 10-14, 2003.

The protest organisers have issued an international invitation to activist groups opposed to neo-liberal globalisation to send delegations to participate in the September 2003 protests. The organising collective stresses that the WTO ministerial will represent ``a key crossroads which may determine the future of the neo-liberal model, of globalisation itself, and of our peoples”.

The organising collective will aim to devise a “social movement” strategy to counter the WTO summit. The organisers also promise time and space for broad and open discussion of topics, analyses, tactics and action plans.

Those interested in attending the Cancun 2003 protests should contact the organising secretariat at <viacam@gbm.hn>, <seminarios02@unorca.org.mx> or <cejecutiva@unorca.org.mx>.
