SHORT REVIEW:
"The Miami Model" In November 2003, trade ministers from 34 countries met in Miami, Florida, to negotiate the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). To show their opposition to the FTAA, thousands of union members, environmentalists, and human rights activists also gathered in Miami. What happened there was a disturbing example of the state of free speech under a wartime president. Protesters were attacked with rubber bullets, pepper spray, electric tazer guns, and shock batons, all coordinated by the new United States Department of Homeland Security, and paid for by an $8.5 million line item within the $87 billion appropriation for the Iraq war. THE MIAMI MODEL also showcases the issues that drove the protesters to Miami, and the alternative models of grassroots resistance, creative action, sustainable development, and solidarity that they came to promote.
