>From Public Citizen [the coalition of organizations includes Preamble.] ------------------ A coalition of organizations have been developing a booklet describing what the World Trade Organization (WTO) is, it's track record and what we can expect to see in the upcoming Ministerial Meeting in Seattle (November 29 - December 3). Some of you may remember the "MAI - Democracy for Sale?" booklet that was produced in 1997 and distributed to activists. The WTO Booklet will be similar to the one on the MAI. It will be business envelope size with a 100 pound 3-color cover and 24 interior pages for text. It's primary audience are activists and organizations in the U.S. It will not require a lot of prior knowledge of the WTO or the globalization debate. This booklet will be a key tool leading up the Ministerial, and beyond. Order it now to make sure that your organization, fellow-activists, friends and family can become educated on the WTO! We are currently finalizing the booklet, and are planning to have it printed and ready for shipment by the end of June.
