Trade Turnaround Working for a Trade Turnaround, Ten Years after Seattle
Celebrating the Power of People To Impact Trade Policy
Over ten years ago, citizen activists shut down the World Trade Organization in Seattle to protest the devastating impact of corporate globalization on our jobs, wages, farming and the environment. The WTO hasn't learned, scheduling their 7th ministerial on November 30th, the exact same day as the ten year anniversary of Seattle.
We responded in the Spirit of Seattle, with a call to action for a turnaround in trade. Groups all over the country are held events, rallies, demonstrations and house parties from N27 to D5. This is what democracy looks like.
