NYCTC Hosted Three Successful "Battle In Seattle" House Parties in December!

November 30, 2009 marked the 10th anniversary of the "Battle in Seattle" when 50,000 citizen activists shut down the World Trade Organization (WTO) meetings in Seattle, WA. NYCTC held educational forums using the anniversary as a rallying point for action to advance fair trade policies, including the TRADE Act (HR3012/S2821).
Thanks to our cosponsors:

• Saratoga County Interfaith Environmental Coalition

Martha's father was assassinated by the Colombian government and serves as a tragic example of the human rights abuses in that country. In cooperation with Witness for Peace New England, NYCTC arranged for Martha to visit South Glens Falls to share her story. Trade agreements between the United States and Colombia must be predicated on improved hman rights standards in Colombia.
