Title: World-wide protest topples the MAI
Description: Back in the late 90s corporate globalizers were negotiating a secret deal called the Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAI). It was a shocking list of new rights for corporations, and a big blow to the democratic rights of people. When word of the deal got out, civil society and labour organizations spread the news around the world and organized anti-MAI protests — both in the streets and on the web. In the face of strong global opposition, countries began backing out, and the deal fell apart!!
