The Workers’ Summit of the Americas is the summit of the excluded. It is a summit against capitalism and imperialism, again racism and white supremacy, it is the summit of those who shout loud enough! Enough of neoliberalism and misery. The peoples of the continent reject a conference that is designed to plunder them. We will have the opportunity to meet in person with people who have been leading the resistance to US sanctions in Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua.

The Workers’ Summit of the Americas in Tijuana is where we are going to denounce that hegemonic order that has subjugated us for more than 500 years and it is where we are going to proclaim our right to life with dignity and social justice.

The meeting of the Workers’ Summit of the Americas, in Tijuana, offers a space to unite with all the peoples of “Our America.” Counter the OAS Summit of the Americas organized by the United States Department of State, in Los Angeles. The countries of the continent besieged by the US (Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba…) will not participate in the OAS farce.

The Workers’ Summit gives us the opportunity to invite our fellow strugglers from North America who want to participate. Tijuana is a meeting place for progressive forces from the South and North at a time when the working class faces the most unprecedented challenges in the history of humanity.

The Workers’ Summit is an ideal opportunity to inform and discuss the effects of the unilateral coercive measures imposed by the US on Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua and now a third of the world’s population that is being strangled by US sanctions. The US Workers’ Summit will bring together US and Canadian leaders from the labor movement, social justice organizations and popular movements that oppose sanctions and any kind of US intervention.
