No FTAA protest in Miami
Miami.......Police........Labor March......People's Gala..........Root Cause.......More People in Protest
 |
November, 2003 As the FTAA met in Miami 20,000 people came to protest and were met with an unprecidented use of force by police. Many peaceful protest events took place including a march of unions and others, a 34 mile march by Root Cause and a People's Gala which featured musicians and unions. Police used tear gas and pepper spray on the peaceful crowd in the morning. Medical teams were there to provide eye washes. |
