International Context of the Mobilization

• Direct action against the FTAA in Quito, October 31 and November 1;
  
• Actions against the NATO summit that will take place November 21 and 22 (groups in Prague suffered greatly after the actions against the World Bank and the IMF, and prefer that these actions remain decentralized);
  
• Actions against the annual meeting of the World Bank and the IMF in Washington, DC, on September 29;
  
• Decentralized actions against the International Organization of Migration (IOM), the U.N. agency charged with "regulating" flows of migration in order to meet the needs of of global capitalism, promoting entry restrictions, deportations, control and classification of human beings as "desireable" or "disposable" (the main actions have been called for October 10 and 11 but this could change, and firm dates will be set soon);
  
• Decentralized actions around the globe for Media Democracy Day (October 17), in opposition to global monopolies of disinformation and in favor of the diversity of alternative media;
  
• The hearing against Coca Cola in Brussels (October 10), which is part of the international campaign to bring Coca Cola to justice for its support of paramilitary groups in Colombia;
  
• The end of the Caravan of Refugees and Immigrants in Germany on September 21 (the biggest ever mobilization of self-organized immigrant organizations that country has ever seen);
  
• A campesinos´ and workers´ strike planned for September 16 in Colombia;
  
  All these mobilizations share a vision that is anti-capitalist, anti-racist, anti-militarist, and pro-freedom of movement and of communication.
