<br>
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:</p>
<ul>
<li>An end to the destructive U.S. military, economic, and
political interventions in the Americas.</li>
<li>De-militarization of the borders. We need to build bridges
with our neighbors, not walls.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>Respect, dignity, justice and self-determination for all
communities, especially the poor and most vulnerable</li>
<li>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.</li>
</ul>
