Summary of interview: Lydia Cabasco was inspired to work with People for Fair Trade/Network Opposed to WTO (PFT) by the founder of GabNet New York, a Philippine women's group. Concerned with the ways institutions like the IMF and GATT affect sweatshop labor and sex trafficking, Cabasco began attending WTO protest planning meetings months before the ministerial. She describes efforts to mobilize students and people of color, discusses the debate over the naming of the organization People for Fair Trade versus NO2WTO, and explains her goal to shut down the WTO meetings. Cabasco also discusses relationships between many groups and individuals involved in the mobilization efforts and the protests, and expresses concern for students and people of color marginalized by the Public Citizen/People for Fair Trade coalition. |
