Activists from Canada will protest as close to the meetings as possible. Many from the U.S. will also head for Quebec, though some are making the decision to concentrate their efforts at the U.S.-Canada border. Since a group of Buffalo college students flew to Seattle to attend the anti-WTO protests, various progressive groups in the area have formed the Buffalo Activist Network. Their next focus is organizing regionally for a series of actions beginning April 19 and culminating in a major action on April 22 at the Peace Bridge on the U.S.-Canada border. Groups from New York, Cleveland and many other cities plan to participate.
Organizers expect thousands to join in various actions.
Activists from New England, meanwhile, will head towards Vermont. There protesters will try to go to Quebec City as well as have actions at the border. Border actions are also planned for the U.S.-Mexico border. A major demonstration is planned for the Tijuana, Mexico, and San Diego border area. A legal demonstration is planned to facilitate participation by immigrants and undocumented workers.
