Date/Time: Tuesday, November 4th - 6:30pm
Location: CUNY Grad Center, Room 5414 (Corner of 34th street & 5th Ave)
(scroll down for other FTAA related events in NYC this week, ride boards,
and Calender of events taking place down in Miami)
With only a little over 2 weeks left until the important FTAA ministerial
down in Miami - this meeting will be a place for people to get updated and
get involved with a variety of FTAA related events:
*Report back from the New Haven consulta over the weekend
*Updates on organizing down in Miami, logistics for travel etc.
*Getting on the Bus leaving from New York City, Tuesday Nov. 18th
*Organizing solidarity actions/ fundraising for the trip down to Miami
*Legal/Medical updates

Based on the turn out and discussion at this meeting we will be putting
down payments on transportation - please try to attend this meeting if at
all possible, even if you are not sure you are heading down. There are a
lot of people who simply cannot head down because of work/school - but
hopefully they can find ways to support those who are able to but do not
have the financial resources.

As it stands - busses will be leaving New York on Tuesday (18th) late
afternoon/early evening and staying in Miami until Saturday (22nd)
returning to New York City at some point Sunday afternoon. However busses
will not be organized if there is not enough interest as no one can afford
to cover the high costs of empty seats etc.

******

Leading up to next Tuesdays meeting there are a few important events that
people should be aware of by now:

*North East consulta in New Haven CT this weekend - if people have cars
available please contact me at: max@riseup.net or otherwise post on the
ride board at:  www.gpjo.org/yale.htm
