Returning class action funds to the global justice movement
Thanks to Emily Nepon for sending me this link last week (which I forgot to post in the craziness of economy drama and CR10):
Money to Movements: Distributing Class Action Funds to Global Justice Projects
Protesters arrested in Seattle during the 1999 WTO protest created a fund to donate the settlements they received to social justice organizations.
David Solnit, A co-founder of the Direct Action Network and an organizer of the nonviolent direct action shutdown of the WTO’s opening day said, “These funds were won from a struggle for global justice. We wanted to make sure that a portion of those funds were put back into those struggles.”
