Battle of Seattle  

Definición

  • The Battle of Seattle consisted of a series of marches, direct actions, protests, and “black bloc” tactics carried out from November 28 through December 3, 1999, in a successful effort to disrupt the World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Conference. Comprising a broad and diffuse coalition of the American Federation of Labor (AFL-CIO) and other labor unions, student groups, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as Global Exchange and Oxfam, Earth First!ers, Jubilee 2000, media activists, international farmers and industrial workers, the Ruckus Society, groups allied with the Direct Action Network (DAN), anarchists, and others, the Battle of Seattle is often referred to as “the coming-out party” of the anti-neoliberal-globalization movement.
