"I think it's a really telling fact that you can go out on the street anywhere in the United States and ask people to give you one sentence about the World Trade Organization and they won't be able to say one intelligible sentence about what it is, where it's based, what it does, when it was created, whose interests is served, whose interests does it hurt."
— Kevin Danaher, Global Exchange
"By setting up a no-protest zone, basically police lumped all protesters together and interfered with the rights of people who were doing perfectly lawful things to express their views on a major political issue currently getting a lot of attention."
— Doug Hoenig, Public Education Director, American Civil Liberties Union - Washington State
"The police gassed us for no reason. And the media is telling the world that this is the way to control people. All they say is that we people do not know what we are protesting or what we are talking about. ... The media all over the world is not buying that story. This is the U.S. corporate media. I heard from a friend in India who said the headlines in all the mainstream newspapers in India were celebrating the close-down of WTO meetings yesterday. And across class lines, across party lines, it is being celebrated in India."
— Anuradha Mittal, Food First
