In November 1999, The Seattle WTO Protests captured international attention. While the mass demonstrations appeared spontaneous, they were the result of months of organizing and coalition building. Now we ask, what was learned and how does it inform organizing around the same issues today?
Join us for an intergenerational conversation between organizers and activists from the WTO protests and from justice movements happening now. What new hurdles and possibilities exist today when attempting to build coalitions, and how can momentum be sustained after a mass mobilization?
When: Thursday, April 24th, the talk starts at 7:00 pm PT.
Where: Museum of History and Industry; 860 Terry Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109
Interpreters: Amie Pease & Tami Berk
