The party's national Coordinating Committee, representing 43 member state Green Parties, passed the resolution on November 13. Protests against the FTAA's authority to overrule democracy and environmental, labor, and human rights protections are being organized by Greens and many other organizations. The text of the resolution is appended below.

Leaders of the Green Party of the United States and other antiglobalization activists will hold a press conference during the meeting of the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) on Wednesday, November 19, 5:30 p.m. in the Market Room, at the Radisson Hotel Miami, 1601 Biscayne Boulevard in Miami. Greens from across the U.S. are gathering in Miami for a week of protests against the FTAA summit, from Monday, November 17 through Friday, November 21.

Green Party members are encouraging reporters to 'embed' themselves among protesters, noting that reporters were recently asked to embed themselves among Miami police officers facing the protesters.
