Last month's http://www.isiswomen.org publication, the 'We! Bulletin', which focuses on 'Movement's Within':-
Grassroot activity and community radio, as well as movements for change directly related to how women
are changing things for themselves published the above article and pictures of the quilts , the links
included reports on grassroot opposition to the CAFTA agreements with links to indymedia Puerto Rico in
the comments. Indybay is reporting mass protests and a set of backround and historical links to the CAFTA

CAFTA March
The upcoming 7th of October referenedum will be binding if 30% vote. The first indybay link in the comment above
does not work , so am including a link to the globalise this site which has business backround and links to
essays on CAFTA.
http://www.globalizethissf.org
has an archive and press on the put down of the no voters by authorities in Puerto Rico
http://www.isiswomen.org/index.php?option=com_content&t...d=217
The Referendum on the CAFTA which only requires 30% voter turnout and participation
to become Legally binding occurs on Wednesday the third of October in Puerto Rico.
The CAFTA is Agreed in these countries:-
Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic and El Salvador.
NYC indymedia is reporting and linking to Kathy Holt of the Nicaragua Network:-

I put in the comments section that the CAFTA referendum was occuring on Wednesday the
third of October, its on Sunday the Seventh. the links and solidarity stuff is ok- just the wrong
date.
The referendum requires only 30% for the CAFTA to go through, the details and report
are on :- http://www.radiofeminista.net/Julio07/notas/Dreams.htm

Colombian Coverage:- http://colombia.indymedia.org
The CAFTA vote is Puerto Rico of the 07/10/07 has little coverage, the article above , published
by Isis women in Manila has links to the reasons why indigenous and grassroots activists
are opposing bi-laterals with the US. The image of the quilt banner which i am re-publishing here
rejects for Puerto Rican society the TLC's- Tratado de Libro Comercio. Whilst if you google the local
Puerto Rico press of which the eleven titles that are bunched together politically want the CAFTA
and closer relation to the States, the communites are rejecting of the perceived abuse of
their society by the US. The link to the latest WE! article looks at the economic and social
repurcussions on Chile and Thailand due to the Japanese FTA's:-
