<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>Faced
with the failure of the fifteenth United Nations Conference of the
Parties on Climate Change in Copenhagen, Denmark this past December, the
G20 (the national banks and governments of the 20 most wealthiest
nations in the world), multinational corporations, and the international
financial institutions (IFIs) to extort the rest of the governments of
the world into accepting a new international treaty on Global Warming
and Climate Change...<br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>With
particular chapters of the Kyoto Protocol expiring in 2012, a new
treaty is being drafted not only to set the minimal goals to reduce
human activities that cause Global Warming, but also to legitimize a
“carbon market” generating the legal basis to contaminate the air we
breathe, a market that would clearly be controlled by those who hold
political and economic power. Once again, developed nations are turning a
blind eye to the enormous ecological and social debt they owe the rest
of the world, to the fact that their development has been based on the
over-exploitation of natural resources and the total destruction of
entire peoples and cultures. The information collected from around the
world, based on the best science possible, leaves plain the false
arguments from these same parties that there is a lack of solid evidence
of human activity that produces Climate Change; or their more recent
contestation of responsibility in the emission of gases that cause this
effect.<br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>The United
Nations bodies that are charged with carrying-out the task of generating
the new treaty have been corrupted by multinational corporations and
international financial institutions. These agents of capitalism are
developing and consolidating an international market to buy and sell
credits to contaminate and pollute our air; equivalent to privatizing
the atmosphere. The environmental degradation produced in capitalist
systems are driving the world's climate to a point of no return. If we
continue along this path in less than one hundred years over 80% of all
species in the world could disappear. The environmental defense that we
are enacting as part of greater social movements is crucial, and it
offers us a new opportunity to confront the root causes of climate
change.<br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>At the
beginning of 2010 the United Nations announced that the 16th Conference
of the Parties on Climate Change would be held in Cancun, Mexico. 2010
is also the bicentennial of the Mexican independence from the Old-World
Empire, and the centennial of the Mexican Revolution. For many, 2010 is
a significant marking-point for the social struggles in the Americas.
To commemorate this historical process of emancipation, and to counter
the false solutions demonstrated at the summit in Copenhagen (COP15), we
invite you to the International Anti-C@P Space- an Anti-Capitalist
effort in opposition to the COP16- a struggle from below against the
New-World Order.<br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>The
International Anti-C@P Space is an effort of various grassroots groups,
organizations, and activists who have come together to build an
environmental and social justice movement that uses direct action and
popular education to articulate fair and effective solutions to the
environmental crisis leading up to the COP16. We invite social
movements, civil organizations, networks, activist, and communities of
the world committed to the anti-capitalist struggle and the principles
of social and environmental justice, to participate in the International
Anti-C@P Space in Cancun this December.<br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>We
don't forget the past mobilizations of civil society in Cancun - The
World Economic Forum in 2001 and the World Trade Organization in 2003.
Without a doubt, we live in a world politically different than those
days but we still assert that the principal causes of our misery are the
same: capital, the state, its destruction of the environment and the
structures of power it maintains. Faced with a global financial crises,
the same forces are in search of a new round of accumulation through
green capitalism in order to evolve and regenerate. We hope that just as
we buried the WTO in 2003 we will bury the COP.<br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>We
are against a reductionist science that substitutes one nightmare for
another - transgenic agrobiofuels for automobiles, carbon bonds and
credits for the emerging carbon market in order to continue polluting
the air we breathe, the displacement of indigenous peoples for "the
conservation of pristine areas." We have a broader vision of nature and
we know that the struggle against environmental destruction goes beyond
reducing emissions. Often climate change is used as a pretext to hide
the real criminals responsible for the environmental crisis. The same
ones who want to manage the climate and social crisis with a new market
of "green" and "sustainable" products, making promises of techno fixes
and other false solutions. In Cancun we will show that: WE ARE THEIR
CRISIS!<br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>We invite
communities, organizations and activists to join this anti-capitalist
force in order to create autonomous spaces, events, mobilizations and
actions to re-appropriate the discourse around climate change, and the
processes of "adaptation and mitigation", that honestly search for
environmental and social justice,<br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>In
this sense we consider the International Anti-C@P space to be a
permanent and collective process where we create a continuous
interaction that permits us to generate collective solutions to local
and global environmental problems. Towards this effort we are organizing
regional climate convergences where we can reflect upon the
environmental question, share knowledge and learn practical tools to
confront such problems. The upcoming Climate Convergences are in San
Salvador Atenco, in the State of Mexico from the 5th to 7th of November,
in Mexicali, in the state of Baja California on the 13th and 14th of
November, and in San Cristobal de las Casas, in the state of Chiapas
also the 13th and 14th of November.<br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>The
Anti-C@P space is also organizing busses for the Anti-Capitalist
Mobilization in Cancun that will depart during the first days of
December and that will coincide with other caravans from national and
international networks and organizations on their way to Cancun -- for
more information on how to reserve your seat on these busses please send
an email to <a href="mailto:caravanaanticapcop@gmail.com" target="_blank">caravanaanticapcop@gmail.com</a><br><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>Join
us in organizing educational events and actions at key points during
the rest of 2010, leading up to the Conference of the Parties -COP16. We
welcome the participation of organizations that are inline with our
objectives, in opposition to false solutions of carbon markets and in
favor of real, effective and just solutions to the environmental and
social crisis.<br>We invite you to take Direct Action with us, to take
it upon yourself to create solutions to people's problems and to build
from below and from the left the organizations in each of our
communities and collectivities. We hope to organize direct actions in
relation to climate change all over Mexico and the World.<br><br>For more information on how to actively participate in the International Anti-C@P Space please contact:<br><a href="mailto:anticop16@lists.riseup.net" target="_blank">anticop16@lists.riseup.net</a><br>
