5:06Now Playingwww.DemocracyNow.org - Organizers from Colombia, Panama and South Korea held a teach-in at Occupy Wall Street on Monday about "free trade agreements" now pending in Congress that will expand the market for national corporations and financial corporations from the United States. "Essentially, it tries to institute once more the things that caused the financial crisis in the first place," Sukjong Hong, an organizer with Nodutdol for Korean Community Development, told Democracy Now! Host Amy Goodman. "It also opens the door to outsourcing more American jobs." Carlos Salamanca, member of AFSCME Local 372, adds that the Colombian free trade agreement "is the continuation of what is going on in Colombia, supporting the government who is not doing anything to stop the killing of workers in Colombia, the union members, the human-rights activists, and the persecution against the indigenous and the Afro-Columbian leadership over there."
