NO HUMAN IS ILLEGAL!
No Borders is an ongoing movement that resists racism and unfair controls on the movement of people. A Polish demonstration on June 30 saw people standing up against deportations, visa regulations and racist propaganda being aimed non-western people. The country has decided to join the European Union and wants to be part of Fortress Europe, excluding and deporting people from the East, Asia and Africa. 16 people were arrested for minor offences out of a smallish crowd, but a larger event, a ‘No border camp’ has been going on in Krynki at the border between Belarussia, Russia and Ukraine, finishing on the 7th July.

COCA-COLA BOYCOTT
As the world's best selling non-alcoholic drink, Coca-cola spreads the symbol of U.S. capitalist life throughout the globe. The Coca-cola company is ruthless in ensuring it's continued success with a long history of human rights offences and a blatent disrespect for worker's unions and environmental issues. A number of Colombian Coca-Cola workers have been murdered and others have been assaulted or kidnapped. The victims are involved in trade union activity and attempts to improve their colleagues working conditions. Even in the States, union organisers have been sacked and unions have taken to the streets in solidarity with the Colombian workers.

On 22nd July 2003 a global boycott of Coca-cola will begin, initiated by the Colombia Solidarity Movement. As well as not buying Coke and telling people why, you can subscribe to the "boycott-coke" list at "riseup.net" or check these websites:
