Dissent! Network of Resistance against the
G8:
Organising Gathering
Nottingham,
Friday 20th - Sunday 22nd
MayThe G8 are the rulers of eight of the most powerful
economies in the world. From 6th-8th July 2005, they will hold their
major annual summit at Gleneagles Hotel, Scotland. The G8 upholds a
system whose impacts we see all around us: war, famine, mindless work,
and environmental destruction. Resistance, however, grows across the
globe, with struggles as diverse as they are numerous. In recent years,
everywhere the G8 has met, huge movements of people have confronted
them demanding change.
Now in Britain,
grassroots groups and individuals wanting to resist the summit have
formed the Dissent! Network. This is an inspiring network that attempts
to run in a different way to capitalism. No one is in charge, there is
no official membership list, and decisions are only made by the
agreement of everyone involved. It takes a confrontational stance
against the G8, and is calling for direct action against the summit,
its symbols and infrastructure.
