WHAT'S NEW ON CORPORATE WATCH
The Watchdog on the Web <<http://www.corpwatch.org>>


November 17, 1999

OUR SPECIAL WTO SEATTLE COVERAGE BEGINS NOW!
http://www.corpwatch.org/feature/index.html Who Owns the WTO?
When officials from 134 countries and tens of thousands of protestors from around the world descend on Seattle later this month for the World Trade Organization summit, Corporate Watch will be there.
We will be doing daily updates on the web as well as co-hosting World Trade Watch, a nationally and internationally syndicated radio broadcast. We are covering this historic summit because the decisions of this world body affect our daily lives, from the air we breathe, to the food we eat to our access to information.
Our special WTO coverage begins with "Who Owns the WTO?" We've put together articles and fact sheets that look at who's who in the Seattle Host Organization and others that follow the corporate money. Our Feature includes:
* Case studies on WTO rulings
* What issues to watch for in Seattle
* Actvist perspectives from around the world * Current News Stories...and more
* Take Action! No New Round

We will update Corporate Watch daily from Seattle starting on Monday, November 29th and running throughout the week. In addition to our in-depth feature, you will be able to listen to the audio of World Trade Watch Radio, get daily headlines and check out photos of breaking events and protests.
So, go to the Feature, Who Owns the WTO? before the Seattle Round opens and come back for daily coverage starting November 29th.
Look at the list of stations carrying World Trade Watch radio or contact wtw@radioproject.org to find out how you can get us on your local airwaves.

TAKE ACTION!
http://www.corpwatch.org/corner/alert/wto.html Tell US Trade Representative Charlene Barshefsky to declare a moratorium on further WTO negotiations. Citizens around the world are demanding that the WTO review its decisions and repair damage they've done to the environment and human rights. Add your voice, send a FREE FAX today!
