SPEAKERS AT ST. LAWRENCE TO DISCUSS 'LESSONS FROM NAFTA'

CANTON - A panel of speakers representing the United States, 
Canada and Mexico will discuss "Lessons from NAFTA" (the North 
American Free Trade Agreement) in an event at St. Lawrence 
University on Thursday, April 24, at 7 p.m. in Bloomer Auditorium, 
Brown Hall. The discussion is open to the public, free of charge.
	Speakers are, from Mexico, Victor Quintana, a former member 
of the Mexican congress and an advisor to the Frente Democrático 
Campesino de Chihuahua, a member organization of the Mexican 
coalition El Campo No Aguanta Más; from the United States, Tara 
Colon, organizer for the Kensington Welfare Rights Union in 
Philadelphia; and from Canada, Donalda Macdonald, president of 
the Canadian Union of Public Employees.
	The speakers will discuss the impacts of NAFTA that have 
been felt in the 10 years since the signing of the agreement as 
well as the grassroots movements that are under way in the three 
countries to reform or end NAFTA and impede the enactment of 
similar provisions in the Free Trade Area of the Americas and the 
World Trade Organization.
