Friday the 21st "This is what Democracy looks like!"
A day to celebrate our victories, manifest a solidarity economy, and practice direct democracy in the streets, neghborhoods, gardens etc. of Miami!

We will Converge at 10am at Miami Arena and go on a permitted march to the fence with music, puppets, and the tools to build a solidarity economy and Really, Really, Really Free Market/Bazaar. We will expose the fence as symbol of the anti-democracy, and anti-earth FTAA.

We will manifest direct democracy with peoples' assemblies, corp. actions, transforming green spaces, free food, street-level teachins, free-market bazaar (ie bringing stuff to share, exchange, trade, barter, etc), celebration, music, joy! We will present a real alternative to the
capitalistic model of the FTAA and the economic occupation and ecocide it would further impose on peoples of the global south and beyond.

You should bring your own versions of local and alternative currencies to trade for any and all sorts of things; food, flowers, posters, zines, whatever. We will have a loud 'Si se puede' People's Assembly where we showcase direct democracy and an alternative trade and consumer model, ie: FREE STUFF!

More details coming soon. Stay Tuned!
