Today marks the 10-year anniversary of the protests in Seattle that took place during the World Trade Organization's meeting. The week brought together a coalition of environmentalists, labor activists and human rights groups and drew attention to the WTO's growing influence throughout the world. It also led to a new alternative gathering of activists, called the World Social Forum and then, the US Social Forum. In the first of a two-part series, FSRN's Jill Friedberg has more on the legacy of the protests, ten years later.
