A16: Mobilization for Global Justice

I posted here recently saying the "next Seattle" would occur in Washington D.C. in April. I now have more details. The people at Direct Action Network, Ruckus Society, EarthFirst!, National Lawyers Guild and other activist groups are planning another massive non-violent experiment in "applied democracy".

A powerful U.S. movement for economic and human rights and fair trade had its coming-out party at the WTO meetings in Seattle. A range of forces who value human and ecological dignity over corporate profits and trickle-down economics came together there. We challenged one of the most insidious tools of unaccountable profit-driven rule, the World Trade Organization, and we scored an important series of victories against some daunting odds.
