'Teamsters and Turtles' Together Again

Support Showing of Battle in Seattle

In November 1999, five days rocked the world as 50,000 union members, environmentalists and others took to the streets of Seattle in protest of the World Trade Organization's Ministerial Meeting, and changed the trade debate around the world. Now, their story is being told in a powerful new film--and you can bring that film to your town.

Battle in Seattle, with an all-star cast, including Charlize Theron, Woody Harrelson, Ray Liotta, Michelle Rodriguez, Martin Henderson, Andre Benjamin and Channing Tatum, opens in select cities today.

This is an important film that every American should see -- and you can help make that a reality.

How? If the film is being shown in your city, you can help just by buying a ticket. The more people who come out to see it in limited release, the more likely it will be picked up for release nationwide.

And if it's not being shown in your area, you can still help. Capturing the grassroots spirit of Seattle, the film's producers have created a "theater takeover" program. Through it, you can organize your friends, family, coworkers, and union brothers and sisters to get Battle in Seattle shown in your city.

Join the Teamsters and other unions in supporting this important film and reminding America that people united for change can still make history.
