Tree Destruction + Direct Action Resistance @ Blackwood This Week

13-03-2004 14:58

Pictures from Bristol Indymedia - destruction at Blackwood / St David's Wood in South Wales increased massively in the last week with a huge influx of bailiffs to protect the chainsaws. Costain's tactic has been to cordon off an area early in the morning, secure it with bailiffs and proceed to cut down every tree inside it and reduce it to woodchip. Protesters are left with the last ditch tactic of trying to guess the area to be trashed and rush up trees before the cordon is completed. One arrest was made on tuesday as some protesters tried to break into a cordoned area (later released). Protesters were occupying climbable trees for over 8 hours on wedsnesday, knowing that as soon as they leave them, chainsaw wielding vandals will move in for the kill. Everything around occupied trees is ripped apart, as contractors show disregard for safety, felling trees which fall within arms length of people in the area, and even felling one with someone in it!

OPPRESSION IN ALL ITS INSIDIOUS FORMS!

13-03-2004 09:19

It is truly amazing to observe how oppressive local government is. While the left wing has its head buried in international issues local government in this country oppresses poor working class communities. While us thin on the ground working class left try to expose what is going on in our communities the main contingent of the left are nowhere to be seen.

ESF in London: a celebration for all and an invitation from few horizontals

13-03-2004 08:24

This is a letter written by a few people who have been involved in the 'horizontals' movement for a more democratic and open European Social Forum. We are individuals from socialist, autonomist, anarchist, communist, environmentalist, spiritualist traditions sharing the principles of non-hierarchical, open, democratic organising. We wanted to make a few important points to the movement at large:




1. Following the decision of the European Assembly last weekend, the ESF will now take place in London, October 15-17, 2004.




2. After the organised intervention of UK and other European social forces, there IS space in the European Social Forum for all networks and individuals who want to see a better world.




3. This space needs people to exploit it. Without the involvement of grassroots networks of all types, of course the ESF will be bureaucratic, stale and uninspiring. We urge people to get involved to make the ESF positive and constructive.




4. We call for respect between all involved in the movement. For a brief moment at the European Assembly on March 6th/7th it seemed that this was possible - we want to try to keep open that possibility.




5. Specifically, there is an URGENT need for people trained in facilitation of large meetings using consensus. There is no point in us calling for fair and transparent facilitation if the people who are able to pass on such skills are not involved in the process. The ESF process is our chance to prove that a large-scale event can be organised using a process that moves towards 'another world' - we appeal for all to become involved.
