video of Ragin' Cajun Brian Marks at CAFTA Public Forum Leenie 2003-07-31 3:35 AM
7/29/03 The Mayor's office held a public forum at the New Orleans' Port auditorium ( a very hard to find place.) This was meant to be a Q&A session with delegates and the general public. The "general public" was a cross-section of corporate New Orleans, including Entergy, Whitney Bank, Petro-chemical industry executives and wealthy Central American descented New Orleanians. 3 min. 40 seconds Undeterred, Brian Marks eloquently states his opposition to CAFTA in front of the delegates, including Bush's lead US negotiator Ms. Varga. Brian's statement changed the whole tenor of the forum. He ruffled the feathers of more than a few corporate marauders and stole the show! (video/quicktime)

LEAP21 in LA -- FIGHT Corporate Education and Racism pswartz 2003-07-15 11:03 AM
READ the letter (that I plan to send to news outlets asap) to find out why this is so critical. The testing program is corrupted by money interests, and it is absolutely racist. We are fighting CAFTA, AND we need to fight this threat to corporatize our schools. Outside corporations are taking over curriculum and pushing the powerless even further out of society. <br /> <br /> HELP us oppose this. Gather at the Orleans School Board meeting this Monday (TOMORROW) by the start of the seesion at 6 pm. BE there by 5:45 is you want to speak. Pack the audience. OR Go in front and actively protest--loudly--the narrow interests and lack of vision of the school board. <br /> <br /> paulette <br /> <br /> <br /> also posted at: <br /> http://loyno.edu/~pswartz/cc/LEAP.html <br /> <br /> (text/html)
