On June 8th - 10th 2004, the G8 Summit will be staged on Sea Island, 80 miles south of Savannah in the United States.
This location has been specifically chosen by the G8 because it is
impossible for protestors to access and therefore groups in the United States have put out a call for decentralised actions In this spirit of solidarity with actions in the United States, the Dissent! Network,
a UK-wide anti-capitalist network that operates by the People's Global
Action hallmarks, is calling for local actions and events between
8th-10th June, 2004. Through a diversity of tactics Dissent hopes to
make people aware of next years G8 summit in the UK
and the growing movement, which opposes it. Actions could range from
educational films and events, to street parties and targeted direct
action against the UK government.
The
leaders of the eight richest, industrial countries may hide on
mountain-tops and remote islands, they may surround themselves by
fences and police, but they cannot hide from the global movement
against capitalism. From the War on Iraq
to the global economic and ecological meltdown, the policies of the G8
are clearly corrupt. In 2004, Dissent! and others are already building
momentum against the G8. In 2005, we will disrupt the G8 meetings in Britain. The days of the G8 are numbered.
In solidarity with the United States protest movements, in the UK there will be protests and events against the G8. To get involved contact Dissent!:
