Summary of interview: Margaret Butler and other members of Jobs with Justice mobilized Oregonians against the WTO.

Butler believes that Jobs with Justice was the only organization in the United States to mobilize people for both direct action/civil disobedience and the Labor march. Butler lists a number of Portland organizations and individuals that were key in planning the WTO protests, including the First Unitarian Church, several Portland State University professors, and Portlanders Against WTO. Butler also speaks enthusiastically about the role played by Portland students in the protests. |
