"Better Neighbors: A New Way Forward for North America
A Critical Look at the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP)"

April 2, 2008
7:00 - 9:00 pm
Traditions Cafe and World Art

Please join us to hear Global Exchange experts on NAFTA discuss its failure, as it approaches fifteen years, and its evolution behind closed doors as the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP).

The Global Exchange team takes a critical look at the SPP (aka Super-NAFTA or NAFTA-Plus). The team provides an incisive overview of the economic and security policy being negotiated behind closed doors between elite corporations and the executive officials of the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The team also details the links between bad trade and economic polices and the accelerated Mexican migration to the the U.S.

The SPP will affect virutally every aspect of our lives. Yet, it is being orchestrated without public or congressional scrutiny or vote. Please join us to learn more about its wide-ranging impacts.

Suggested donation - $3.00.
