COP15: Be part of the party!

Copenhagen – COP15 – World Climate Summit

On December 12th 2009 a mass demonstration against the COP15 Climate Summit will take place in Copenhagen. A mixture of very different people, groups and organizations are going to participate.

Unfortunately, the official route of the demonstration will directly lead out of the city centre into a barren part of town around the conference building, where it is going to end. It will also not be possible for us to change our mind on the way and turn around in order to bring our protest to public places, as after 30 minutes the demonstration will cross a draw-bridge, which can prevent us from returning to the inner city in the blink of an eye. This is why we think it is important to make up our minds beforehand, which way we want to go.

All information about travel, sleeping places, legal rights, actions, maps, food, medics, etc. can be found at www.climate-justice-action.org.

Robin Hoods Redistribute Appropriated Food to Working Class

Free food for free people!

Ahoy, fellow wage slaves & filthy bourgeoisie! The following, reposted from Central Valley Indymedia, is a communique from the ‘Robin Hoods’ group, which appropriated food and redistributed it in a working class neighborhood in Modesto, California. This is propaganda of the deed! As the global financial meltdown and total economic collapse continues, actions of solidarity and mutual aid such as these will continue to spread and grow…

Greek Anarchists Pay for Senior's Torched Kiosk

Those dirty, dirty anarchists! What will they think of next? I mean, helping people?!? C’mon, we all know anarchism is just about smashing, burning, and destroying, right?

Wrong. The AFP is reporting that the Greek group Anarchist Initiative “set up a special bank account to support 74-year-old Harikleia Ananiadou and collected 13,000 euros ($18,000 US)” two months after her kiosk was torched in street battles between anarchists and police.

Have a Smashing Good Time for Gaza

Inspiring… The Guardian is reporting that nine people are being held after an early morning break-in and smash fest at the EDO MBM Technology plant in Moulsecoomb, Brighton, East Sussex, which manufactures military components for Israeli war planes being used to bomb Gaza (as well as Lebanon in 2005).

Mark Townsend reports that the group, calling itself Smash EDO, hurled computers and furniture from the windows of the plant. The police are quoted describing the damage as “substantial.”

You can read more about this smashing good time over at The Guardian or The Herald.

This is, frankly, the sort of direct action we will need in America if we are serious about ending the imperial wars of our own so-called rulers, only it must take place on a much larger scale. When the people truly decide that they will tolerate no more wars, the occupation of factories and shipping infrastructure will be key. If you would like to be a part of such a resistance, join us in Lake City.
