The Free Trade Area of the Americas protest site is now online!

The first action that commenced at 00.00UTC, 20th april 2001, consists of a "virtual sit-in" of web sites associated with the FTAA conference. The purpose of the 'virtual sit-in' is to indicate your objection to the FTAA conference and the entire FTAA process by generating an electronic record of public pressure through the server logs of the organisations concerned.

The objective of the action is not to crash the servers of these organisation (although this is possible if a few hundred thousand people take part), it is to provide a record of the public's participation in the sit-in. We are then challenging the organistions concerned to release their server logs to show the level of take-up of the sit-in.

Shortly, there will be an opportunity to take part in an "automated letter-writing lobby" - this will be uploaded sometime during Friday/Saturday.

Please participate, and let the FTAA and it's supporters know the level of public opinion against them.
