Noam Chomsky reflects on the past 10 years, from 1999 protest in Seattle to the World Social Forums and climate change awareness in 2009. Ten years in 7 minutes with a man who has been called the world's leading intellectual. And he may be just that!

In 1999, activist of all stripes joined to take a stand against corporate greed at the Seattle WTO meeting. In June 2010, the effort continues. Come help make an America based more on human need and protecting our environment than on the profit of multi-national conglomerates!

People and the earth instead of greed as a new "bottom line" !!!

This will be the second US Social Forum (USSF) ever!
