This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Seattle—a moment when over 40,000 people from around the world gathered to protest the expansion of the World Trade Organization (WTO). It was a defining moment in the fight against neoliberal globalization, and the impact of those protests is still felt today.

To reflect on this critical moment in history, we are hosting an event with Paul Adlerstein, historian and author of No Globalization Without Representation: US Activists and World Inequality. As we confront the rise of a nativist and authoritarian political landscape, the Battle in Seattle offers crucial lessons on coalition-building, effective activism, and the power of militant non-violence. This discussion will leave you inspired and motivated to continue the fight for a more just and equitable world.
