1999 Anti-WTO Protests in Seattle - News Archive - A to Z
This is an archive of Infoshop News' coverage of the 1999 anti-WTO protests in Seattle. Infoshop News was one of the few alternative media projects that covered the protests live throughout the week of dissent.
Please note that some of these links are broken. Corporate media sites typically change their structures with little regard to pages like this one. We will make an effort to locate the articles posted here originally in 1999 and correct links accordingly.
