Watch Opening Plenary Beyond the Battle of Seattle Fri Aug 19 07:00 pm-09:00 pm PT Panelists Walden Bello University of Philippines, Diliman Amy Goodman Democracy Now Kshama Sawant Seattle City Council Description (show) In November 1999, the city of Seattle was the site of massive protests against the World Trade Organization, during its meeting there, an event that became known as the "Battle of Seattle." More recently, Seattle has emerged as one of the nation's most dynamic cities, and one that is unusually progressive. The city's voters elected an avowed Socialist to its City Council and led the nation in the "Fight for 15," an effort to raise the minimum wage to $15 per hour. Panelists will reflect on the Battle of Seattle and its legacy, as well as on recent developments in the city.
