The article reports on the demonstration in opposition to the Doha Round of the World Trade Organization (WTO) that will be held in Cancún, Mexico. Activists, particularly peasant members of the National Union of Autonomous Regional Farmer Organizations (UNORCA), will meet in Cancún to oppose the WTO gathering. The Zapatista Army will also participate in the marching. UNORCA member Pedro Dzib says that the group is against the WTO because of its plan to patent the group's product and privatize its resources. The planned activities of the activists in Cancún are mentioned.
