J18 - June 18, 1999 - Global Protest Against Capitalism

June 18, 1999 - Global protest against capitalism

Original Call for June 18 | What's Next? | Events in DC | News coverage | Web links

This page is dedicated to Rob Los Ricos, who spent 7 years in prison years for throwing a rock at a cop during the Eugene, Oregon part of these protests.

On June 18, 1999, hundreds of thousands of activists around the world collectively said no to the madness known as global capitalism. Our actions caught the global masters off guard, so next time they might be better prepared. This page serves to document what happened and to agitate folks to get involved with future events.
