What is N30?
1.
November 30, 1999. The day Seattle got shut down for the second time(the first time was the general strike in 1919). The Battle for Seattle against the World Trade Organization(WTO).
Ah, remember N30 when we rocked those motherfuckers?
See
2.
November 30th, 2000, and the protests which took place on that day.
This was the biggest and best day of protests at the Seattle WTO summit (aka "Battle of Seattle" and, in media-whorespeak, "Seattle Riots"). There were also protests elsewhere on that day - e.g. at Euston Station in London (the first recorded use of the pigpen tactic against anti-capitalists, as cops tried to pen everyone into the station). Not very well-organised this time. A cop van got torched and this became an iconic image.
The N30 protests thrust anti-capitalism into the view of the world media for the first time.
