Take It Personally! A Teach-In On the World Trade Organization was organized by the Common Front on the WTO (CF-WTO), a network of Canadian labour, environmental and public interest organizations. The CF-WTO was organized prior to the first Minsterial Meeting of the WTO in Singapore, in December 1996. Since that time, it has sponsored or supported a variety of education and action events on international trade issues, including the campaign against the MAI, the Multilateral Agreement on Investment.
Activists from several countries and continents are converging on Seattle, Washington for a massive anti-WTO demonstration on November 30 1999 - concurrent with the WTO's Millenium Round of Ministerial Meetings which will take place in Seattle that same day. Multi-Billionaire Microsoft CEO Bill Gates is chair of the "official" welcoming committee.
