Midwest Anti-Capitalist Mobilization Against the G8
July 6-8
Kansas City
Call for a No Coast anti-war and anti-capitalist mass convergence, July 6-8
of 2005 in Kansas City Missouri, in solidarity with the mobilization against
the Group of Eight G8 summit in Scotland. From July 6-8, 2005, the annual G8 summit we be held at Gleneagles Hotel in
Scotland. The G8 is a forum of the rulers of the eight most industrialized,
wealthy, and powerful states in the world. Every year they meet to discuss
how to further their interests, expand their empire, and tighten their grip
on every aspect of our lives. The consequences effect us all, and their
economic success comes at our expense. The G8 exists to manage and maintain
a system whose impacts we see all around us: war, genocide, wage slavery,
mass poverty, structural racism, famine, environmental destruction, colonial
domination in Africa, Asia, & Latin America, social alienation, and
accelerating attacks on working people around the world.
But resistance is growing across the globe, in struggles as diverse as they
are numerous. And in recent years, everywhere the G8 has met huge movements
of people have confronted them, both demanding systemic change and fighting
for a global social revolution.
In recognition of the call to action by Peoples' Global Action for Global
Days of Action to be held against the G8, we are mobilizing for a regional
convergence here in Kansas City. We are calling on everyone ready to fight
for a better world - workers, students, revolutionaries, anti-capitalists...
- from across the North American Mid West and Great Plains to converge and
manifest their resistance on the streets. A West Coast regional convergence
is being called for San Fransico, and East Coast in Richmond, Virgina.
Our convergence will be in solidarity with those descending upon the streets
of Scotland to face the G8 head on. We act in solidarity with
revolutionaries taking to the streets to defend working peoples' lives all
around the world: the struggle against neoliberal privatization in Bolivia;
against transit fare increases in Brazil, Chicago, and San Francisco;
against the Minutemen along the border; and against the PG&E power plant in
Hunter's Point.
Global capital will show the full force of its domestic military
capabilities in Scotland - we can confront these summits on our own terms,
and this mobilization is a step in that direction.
