Saturday 9 April, 10.30am to 5.30pm. Malcolm X Centre, Ashley Rd/City
Road, St Pauls, Bristol BS6. All welcome - entry free/donation.
Our daily lives are becoming ever more dominated and controlled by the
actions of large corporations and their political representatives in
the self-appointed G8 (Group of Eight most powerful/rich nations). In
July the G8 hold their annual summit in Scotland. Can we trust this
unelected, secretive, elite gentlemen's club to act in all our best
interests, behind closed doors? We don't think so! In response Bristol
G8 Dissent! is holding a day long event open to all - to share
information, exchange ideas, consider alternatives, and discuss ways we
can resist. And we'll have a good time too!
The day will start & end with general assemblies. In between there
will be 3 sessions of workshops/presentations, to be run by individuals
and/or groups mainly based in Bristol.
In brief these are:
Session 1, choose from - Our media; alternatives to capitalism here
& now; art resistance; solidarity (acting locally, thinking
globally).
Session 2 - Africa debt/poverty; Iraq; Zapatista rebellion; no borders/asylum seekers.
Session 3 - Climate change; direct action; clown army.
Also provided: cheap drinks, snacks & vegan lunch; kids space (contact us if you are bringing kids!); free info; stalls.
In the evening there will be a benefit social night at The Full Moon, Stokes Croft, with bands & DJ's.
For more info about the day please contact
