Siempre Victoria!

 


Emboldened by protestors, delegates from the South have taken a stand to resist corporate control of their agriculture and their economies.
Starhawk, California activist witch, who has been participating in every anti-corporate demonstration since Seattle, writes from Cancun:

"And the delegates from Brazil and Swaziland both said that if it weren't for the actions inside and outside, they wouldn't have been able to stand strong," Antonia finishes. An electric shock of joy pulses through the room, and we all burst into cheers. That was our strategy -- the hope we held throughout all the work and planning, that if there was clear, strong public opposition to the WTO in the streets and in the forums and in the conferences themselves, the disaffected delegates of the developing world would be empowered and supported
to rebel. And they did."
