*1) Shutdown WTO 20 - A website documenting Seattle 1999*
https://www.shutdownwto20.org/

A small group of co-founders and core organizers of the Direct Action
Network, the organization that called for the shutdown of the WTO
conference twenty years ago, put the #ShutdownWTO20 site together to share
their reflections from a critical moment in movement history: with
historical narratives from people who organized locally and regionally;
articles and resources developed over the last 20 years; and new analysis
to support collective efforts to look forward to the next 20 years and plan
for our futures.

((( Indymedia is included very briefly )))
