GATS
Out
International Day of Action against
GATS, Thursday
13th March 2003
ARENA, along with other groups and
organisations, is participating in an international day of action
in opposition to the GATS (General Agreement on Trade in Services).
We are asking you to get involved
in the day of action.
On our website at www.arena.org.nz
are letters you can send to the Prime Minister, and you local
MP and Mayor. Can you send the letters by email or fax
on the 13th March. We are hoping to get 100s of people
to send letters to the PM on that day.
It is also a good time to send a letter
to the editor of your local paper and for those who are not
too shy, phone up the local talkback. You don't have to
be an expert on GATS! You can talk about why the NZ Government
is intending to make offers under GATS without having done any
analysis of the impacts on our basic services, or consulting
with people most effected.
Have a look at the fact sheets on
the website, they will help give you information for the letters
to the editor and talkback. Or email me at arena.nz@clear.net.nz
and I will send you some info.
PLEASE join in the International Day
of Action on the 13th March.
