A call for international action to coincide with the WTO's next meeting in Qatar was sent to A-Infos. I posted it to Indymedia and the response I got was extremely encouraging. There seems to be a general consensus for a one-day general strike along with demonstrations all over the world like previous days of action (J18, N30, S26), but bigger. Much bigger. Seattle brought the WTO to the world's attention, this time we'll finish them off! Start organising now!
