Encourage your union local, and any other group to which you belong, to participate in an informational campaign, educating members about the FTAA and how they can get involved in the fight against it. Local protests, rallies, and community meetings are great leafleting and organizing opportunities. Have your organization pass the Trade Resolution . Write op-ed submissions and letters to the editor for local newspapers, newsletters, or other publications. See our sample letter to the editor .
Radio is an excellent educational tool.
See our links to FTAA supporters and skeptics . Canadian activists are planning civil society tech-ins and other events during the FTAA summit in Quebec.
