The G8 are holding their meeting in the luxurious golf centre in Gleneagles, creating an area around the location unapproachable for anyone who is opposed to their dominance. As the resistance to global capitalism has developed in recent times, becoming visible during the days of the G8, EU & WTO summits, the use of the Red Zone as a militaristic response and manifestation of their power has escalated

The Blockades will encompass a diversity of tactics and there is network of co-ordinating groups which will provide logistical information on where the blockades need to be organised. The environment where these blockades will happen and the possible tactics of the police will be presented in the build up to July 6th. We expect a number of blockades both in the rural areas near Gleneagles and in the Cities where the delegates for the summit will stay.

There has been no definition on what tactics should or shouldn't be used and the blockades will be open for all groups to participate. There will be certain initiatives which will chose to define the nature of their blockade and the method of action that they will use. This will be co-ordinated at both the rural and urban convergence sites.
