Were you part of the N30 protests against the WTO in Seattle?
This November is the 20-year anniversary.
“After Seattle” is a collection of biographical notes about how that experience shaped us.
If you were there, you are invited to contribute a text from 20 to 2000 words.
On 30.November 2019 the collection will be made public at AfterSeattle.org and thereafter published by Punctum Books.
We hope that this collection will serve as a centerpiece for celebrations.
