Protests Against the WTO
Demonstrators sit down in a Seattle, Washington, street during the 1999 protests that disrupted a meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO). The protesters claimed that the WTO's free trade policies encouraged sweatshops, jeopardized the environment, and gave corporations too much power.
