Join the UW ISO for this Forum & Discussion
Monday 11/7
7-9pm, Savery Hall 132
We are the 99%! The Occupy Wall Street movement has spread to over 1,000 cities in the U.S. and around the globe. Millions are discussing why this movement is important, what it's demands are and how to build it bigger. But Occupy Seattle is only the latest in an incredible history of radical struggle in Seattle.
In 1919 a General Strike of 100,000 workers saw workers run the city for 5 days. Sit-ins led to the formation of the Black Student Union at the UW in 1969. Protests against the WTO rocked the city for a week in 1999.
Join us for a discussion on what lessons we can learn today from the history of strikes and occupations throughout Seattle's radical past.
