You are invited to join us at our Community Forum -- "Murder, Plunder and Corporate Profit: The Trojan Horse of Free Trade in Colombia," to be held this Thursday, September 27th.Join us to learn about the ongoing murders of union leaders and exploitation of workers and rural communities across Colombia.

Attend to show your opposition to the Colombia Free Trade Agreement, which would lead to more jobs lost here and more violence against workers in Colombia.The event will take place on Thursday, September 27th from 6:30p.m.-8:30 p.m. at the St. Mary's University AT&T Center for Information Technology (Going west on Culebra Rd., go past Camino Santa Maria and turn right on Memorial St.

Be part of a movement to change trade policy -- your attendance is critical to send a message to Congress that we can't continue the same failed NAFTA-style trade policies that have destroyed thousands of good-paying jobs, increased the exploitation of workers, and led to increased poverty and inequality.

See the recent article in the San Antonio Current on free trade and Colombia, and Saturday's column by Carlos Guerra in the San Antonio Express-News.For more information on the event, see below or call me at 469-835-6211.

In solidarity,--Marc Jacobson, Director
