The Caribbean Movement for Civil Empowerment (CMCE), a new people-centered organization established to advance meaningful regional integration in the Caribbean is embarking on a new drive.
We would like to have our Caribbean leaders listen to us citizens and promote true democracy driven by us the people. Caribbean regional integration is threatened to becoming a historical enterprise. For too long, initiatives like the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME) and other projects that are instrumental to supporting and changing our landscape have been put on the back burner and mired in bureaucracy and inaction. We, like many other Caribbean people, are fed up of the lack of progress and want to make a change.
The most effective way for Caribbean societies to survive the onslaught of the new era in which we live is to forge closer and stronger linkages. We therefore need progressive and genuine action on the part of our leaders.
In this regard, we would like to invite you to view and sign our petition at http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/caribmove/ to encourage our leaders to make concrete decisions that are in the best interest of the people of the Caribbean.
Caribbean leaders met in St. Kitts/Nevis from 1-4 July and managed to achieve very little. We can’t afford to let the Caribbean Community fade away. Please let your voice be heard.
Be counted!

All I see on these comments, negativity, negativity! This is very sad. I pray this group gets off the ground, overcome the obstacles so that the governments will start listening to the masses.
this is not a first…organizations like these are formed all over the world unfortunately we on this side of the globe don’t see the profit in it…i remind u of The West Indies Federation. Right here in Dominica our leader enjoyed an 18-3 victory at the polls and didnt see the need to call for national unity after such a divide…even after the Bi-elction. the venom that is spewed against a minority vote. one would wonder if that minority is included in the drive for nation building. I wonder if the 29 voices really causing a stir….what if it was 29000 how would we feel. would we then see a need for national unity? The only ones who wont welcome an organization like this one are the very ones who promote the sharp divide amongst ourselves just because of the party we supprting.
we have now to remember the days when persons like Walter Rodney, Tim Hector and others belonging to the political left were banned from entering certain countries to push an agenda similar to what is propose now, LETS ALL WAIT AND SEE
BAYCH ALLU TREMBLING NOW!! LOLOLOLOLOLOL ITS ABOUT TIME, AND DONT TRY TO SHUT IT DOWN IN PEOPLE MIND BEFORE IT EVEN TAKE OFF
Aren’t we tired of this caribbean unity crap. Ihave come to accept the fact that the caribbean nations have resorted to the mantra of ” Every man for Himself.” Good luck getting this movement off the ground.
It’s a dog eat dog world. The politicians remain the big dogs by abusing the power entrusted to them;money is power- the politicians reap off thepeople’s money get rich and supress truth.
Caribbean unity tend to give too much power to the people and so the politicians don’t really want that.The politicians want to be able to steal from the same basket because the guards guarding that basket are subservient to the very same thiefing politicians. Caribbean unity would not allows for separate baskets.
Good intentions… But as long as caribbean people keep suffering from “the crab in the barrel syndrome” integration of caribbean peoples will never be a reality.
We caribbean people have been thought by our colonial masters to distrust, undermine and hate our fellow people of color. So our attempts at integration is futile.
Unless we educate our children in the opposite of our colonial masters.. I see no hope
RUBBISH! scince 2006 there has been advocacy for freedom of information, emails going out to parliamentary representatives in that respect, asking government officals to EDUCATE THEIR CITIZENS of their rights as pertains to disclosure of certain informations. yet up to now not a peep has been heard. it was about time…….you need to stop your cynisism which makes it painfully obvious the magnitude of the task which is at hand.
