I was there in the PNW protesting WTO and getting tear gassed as a college student. I believed that the WTO prioritized corporate profits over labor rights, and just allowed them to ship jobs overseas. I’m sad that I was right.
I was too young to be in the thick of it, but I participated. It wouldn’t be until a decade later that the pieces started to come together for me. It’s weird to grow up gradually realising you’re from not one but two of the wickedest countries in history.
