This fund challenges naive, utopic visions of the "global village," focussing on the implications of allowing corporations and other multinational interests to operate free of social context. Many of these projects concentrate on the role of the citizen, the worker, local cultures, and ethnic groups in a world increasingly controlled by the interests of unrestricted global free trade. This is a stable but slow-moving international fund with the potential for very high long-term yields.

View NAFT list	front	US$300	workers funds	"Argue that a North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) Certificate of Origin form can replace the lengthy and difficult immigration procedures for the United States. If products are able to move between Canada, the US, and Mexico with the reduced or eliminated duty allowed under the NAFTA regulations, people should be allowed to move across national boundaries with reduced or eliminated migration regulations as well. You can find a copy of the form here. Several people must make it across the US-Canada and US-Mexico borders with the document, and their actions must be widely reported in the media."

Workers in many cities are being sought to plant the leaflets on an agreed-upon day, especially in 'flagship' stores. Media must report on it."

View MGOG list	high france front	0	workers funds	"Launch a campaign whose aim is to amend the U.S. Constitution to declare a real name for the territorial entity currently called the 'United States of America.' This name that isn't one is used by the majority of the inhabitants of this union of States to use the name 'America' for the country, and 'American' for the citizen, thus dispossessing the other Americans (Argentinians, Brazilians, Canadians) of their continent. In the same way that the official name of Mexico is the 'United States of Mexico,' so the United States of America must decide on an official, real name for themselves. Public relations agencies and citizen groups may participate in this effort, which should result in a popular referendum or a vote of Congress."
