Citizen Trade Policy Commission Public Hearing Start: 6:00 pm End: 9:00 pm South Portland Community Center, 6-9 pm The Citizen Trade Policy Commission (CTPC) of the Maine Legislature will be hearing public testimony on the impact of free trade agreements and we need YOU to be there! Not only do citizens need to speak to all the different ways free trade agreements impact our state, our country, the world, and our democracy and environment, but we also want as many people to be there to support those who are speaking out. Can you come and testify or support those who do? What is the commission? Film "The Yes Men" to be Shown at Meg Perry Center Start: 7:30 pm A comedic documentary which follows “The Yes Men”, a small group of prankster activists, as they gain world-wide notoriety for impersonating the World Trade Organization on television and at business conferences around the world. The film begins when two members of The Yes Men, Andy and Mike, set up a website that mimics the World Trade Organization’s—and it’s mistaken for the real thing. They play along with the ruse and soon find themselves invited to important functions as WTO representatives.
