It is important that we have a strong showing of activists from
throughout the U.S. and Mexico in the lead-up to the November elections.
We are going to take a stand for justice and demand fundamental change
in US policies that goes beyond elections. Come out and amplify the
demands of the convergence:
* An end to the destructive U.S. military, economic, and political
interventions in the Americas.
* De-militarization of the borders. We need to build bridges with our
neighbors, not walls.
* The dismantling of the racist and sexist systems that steal from,
criminalize, and kill migrants, refugees, natives, gender
non-conforming people, communities of color, and others throughout
the hemisphere.
* Respect, dignity, justice and self-determination for all
communities, especially the poor and most vulnerable
* No more profits over people! Private military, prison, oil, mining,
and other corporations should not determine our future or that of
the earth, the people should.
