The Secretariat finally agreed to the governance reforms. Our pressure forced their hand. We watch them closely now to ensure they actually follow through.

The Caribbean Movement for Civil Empowerment is a non-profit, apolitical organisation aimed at protecting the ideal of regional integration and securing the economic, social and environmental benefits of the peoples of CARICOM by countering selfish political interests and weak regional initiatives, through public education, engagement and mobilisation.

Our leaders met for their 32nd regular meeting in St Kitts and Nevis from 1-4 July this year and once again, let down the people of the region by their strong penchant for inactivity and the status quo. We the Caribbean people must continue to send a strong message to them, that it is time for action. Integration is no longer an option. It is a necessity and an urgent one at that. Let’s join together and demonstrate our solidarity.

Let’s register our support for a closer Caribbean region by signing the Caribbean Peoples Integration Petition. The issues we are advancing are:

1. Governance reform for effective implementation (CARICOM Secretariat)

2. Creating a legal basis for implementation of CARICOM decisions – Supranationality

3. Giving priority to initiatives which advance the benefits of economic integration

4. Refocusing of energy on the CSME

5. Mobilising Civil Society in Support of regional integration

The silence from our leadership persists but we are preparing our formal response to their recent inaction. Integration cannot be ignored indefinitely.

The momentum is undeniable now. Regional integration is no longer just an idea but a demand.

Finally someone speaking up about the status quo. Regional integration is the only way forward for our youth.

About time we stop acting like separate little islands and start working as one. We are stronger together!

Sick and tired of all the talk every year at these meetings. Nothing changes for us regular folks. Action now.

Too much bureaucracy holding us back. Cut the red tape so we can actually trade properly between islands.

The leaders just like the fancy trips and hotel stays. Fix the secretariat and actually get something done for once.
