 It’s an honour for me to be here tonight- an opportunity to honour Judy’s new book and the new forms of leadership she lays out in it.I consider myself an activist, no longer at the frontlines, but I was for many years.I played a major role in the anti-corporate globalization movement for about a decade, organizing at national, regional and local levels. I spearheaded a national campaign against the MAI and again against the WTO. I attended every major protest in North America from Seattle in 1999 to Quebec city in 2001.
