Invitation to the Dissent! Network Gathering in Edinburgh 17th - 19th September

The G8 (Group of eight most industrialised nations) Summit will be held at Gleneagles Hotel in Perthshire, about 40 miles/70 kilometres away from Edinburgh, in Scotland from 6-8th of July 2005. In past years, everywhere they have tried to meet they have been met with a massive response from the world's social movements. Now, in Britain, a network of groups and individuals is emerging that resists the Summit, and forms a lasting movement against capitalism.

The next Dissent! Gathering will take place in Edinburgh on 17th-19th September 2004.

Come along and get involved!

Dissent! Oxford meeting

The next Dissent!Oxford meeting is to be on Wednesday the 5th May at 7.30pm, hopefully at OCSET (or another venue will be announced).

There are a number of things to discuss including the Dissent!Oxford group, a potential bid for £10,000 to fund a social/info space to help build energy in oxford for the mobilisation around the UK G8 meeting 2005 as well as potential actions around the G8 2004 (beginning of June)...and any other matters?.

All welcome
