Summary of interview: Regino Martinez of El Centro de la Raza participated in the WTO protests to support workers' rights, minimize globalization, and to expose WTO's immorality: "an organization that makes trade decisions on a global scale without having to be held accountable." To mobilize and educate the Latino community, El Centro de la Raza put out flyers, faxes, e-mails and phone calls. Martinez describes his most positive WTO experiences: many different people working together for a common goal and the excitement of the march. On the negative side, Martinez lists sensationalized media coverage and lack of discussion about farm worker justice during the Labor rally. |
