Summary of interview: Patti Goldman is a lawyer with EarthJustice Legal Defense Fund, a nonprofit organization that provides legal services to enforce environmental laws. Goldman describes how she studied the environmental impact of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), established a trade environment program within EarthJustice, and became a member of the Seattle Host Organization. Goldman says that environmental community educated the public about the anti-democratic nature of the WTO and provided outreach to get people interested in attending WTO-related events. Goldman describes the November 30th rally in Memorial Stadium, the march on the following Friday to "take back our city, our streets and the message, " and her disappointment in the biased media coverage of the protests. |
