Battle in Seattle
In 1999, Public Citizen sent staff to Seattle to help organize opposition against the World Trade Organization. What would follow would forever change not only Seattle and the U.S., but the course of globalization itself. Public Citizen salutes the courage and commitment displayed by all those who would demand, "NO WTO!"
What is Public Citizen?
Founded in 1971, Public Citizen is an à la carte, full-service progressive non-profit, meaning your support funds multiple public interest research and advocacy efforts: safe and effective health care, auto safety, good government, safe and sustainable energy, consumer safety, and bringing to light the economic and social implications of trade and globalization policy. Why focus on a single issue?
“It is hard to exaggerate the importance of the role that Public Citizen has played for many years in helping those who care about this country become public citizens in the best sense of the word: informed, focused on critical issues, and in a position to act constructively.” — Noam Chomsky
Note: Take Heed! (disclaimer): Myspace is corporately owned and thus is not independent or without its own nefarious agenda. There are many positive aspects to social networking sites like this, but in the land of ad banners and the bottom line, can the truth really flourish?
Who I'd like to meet:
Because Public Citizen does not accept funds from corporations, professional associations or government agencies, we can remain independent and follow the truth wherever it may lead.
But that means we depend on the generosity of concerned citizens like you for the resources to fight on behalf of the public interest. If you would like to help us in our fight, click here.
I was aware that PC was one of the organizers of n30. I think people have already begun to forget what happened there. I plan to write something on both my ms and non-ms blogs in the coming days - if for no other reason than to give the search engines more to find. Stay tuned. Peace, P.
