NOV. 6, 2009:NWLP 11/3/09 10:21 AM Page 10 Events planned for WTO anniversary The world’s most famous protest against corporate-led globalization will be 10 years old Nov. 30. Few people had ever heard of the World Trade Or- ganization (WTO) until tens of thou- sands of labor, environmental and com- munity activists marched and rallied in Seattle, shutting down a summit of trade ministers. To look back at that occasion, and re-commit to the struggle against NAFTA-style trade pacts, activists have been meeting to plan 10-year anniver- sary actions in Seattle, Portland, and Geneva, Switzerland (where the WTO is scheduled to hold new talks the week of Nov. 30 - Dec. 4.) In Portland, labor and community activists have been meeting since Spring at the offices of Oregon AF- SCME to plan an event Dec. 5. Sup- porters will gather at Governor Tom McCall Waterfront Park under the Hawthorne Bridge, march through downtown Portland, and conclude with an indoor rally and concert at Portland State University’s Hoffman Hall. Plans are afoot for rallygoers to bus and caravan to Portland from Ashland and Eugene. The event has the backing of 10 local unions and three central la- bor councils. For more information, call 503-736-9777. History committee puts out call for WTO photos The Northwest Oregon Labor Coun- cil’s Labor History Committee is in need of photographs, testimonials, and other paraphernalia related to the 1999 World Trade Organization (WTO) march in Seattle to use in its Labor His- tory Month presentation at the NOLC delegates meeting on Monday, Nov. 23. November is Labor History Month, and every year the council’s Labor His- tory Committee presents a program looking back at major labor events. Labor History Chairman Jim Cook, along with Jerry Fitzsimmons of the National Association of Letter Carriers, are developing a PowerPoint presenta- tion of the WTO protest. Photographs from the Seattle event are needed for scanning to include in the presentation. The program also will include re- flections of the protest by Arthur Sta- moulis of the Oregon Fair Trade Cam- paign, and Don McIntosh, associate ed- itor of the Northwest Labor Press, who spent five days in Seattle reporting on the event. Songwriter Paul McKenna also will perform songs that he wrote about WTO in Seattle. Photos and items of interest should be sent to NOLC via e-mail at nolc@qwestoffice.net or to their office at 1125 SE Madison St., Suite 100-D, Portland, OR 97214. Centralia Tragedy to be commemorated Nov. 13-14 CENTRALIA — A commemora- tion of the Centralia Tragedy of 1919 — a major event in labor history in which four Legionnaires and one mem- ber of the Industrial Workers of the World lost their lives — will be held Friday and Saturday, Nov. 13-14, at Centralia Community College (CCC). Members of the Pacific Northwest Labor History Association, staff and faculty from Centralia College and The Evergreen State College, and rank-and- file union workers from Lewis County are organizing the commemoration. The event kicks off at 7 p.m., Nov. 13, at CCC’s Corbet Hall, with a screening of the documentary “Lewis County: Hope and Struggle,” by Anne Fischel. The film examines the events of 1919 and interviews community res- idents about economic changes in Lewis County. The screening will be preceded by a musical performance from folk singer Mark Ross. It is free to the public. The commemoration continues at 10 a.m., Nov. 14, at Washington Hall with several workshops and panels dis- cussing unions and workplace issues. A walking tour of historic Centralia Tragedy sites starts at 1:30 p.m. All events are free to the public.
