MAYDAY 2001:mini-conference
mayday2001@hushmail.com | 19.11.2000 04:24 | May Day 2001
Please bring fundraising ideas if possible, enthusiasm and co-operation. Lets make this a day to all meet up and build links in our local and global struggle against capitalism. There will also be a social event in the evening to celebrate past and future struggles.
For this mini-conference we hope to gain a consensus amongst the Anarchist/Anti-capitalist groups and individuals on a co-ordinated action(s) and event(s) to make Mayday 2001 a success.
If you are interested in attending please come along with a clear idea of your proposal, focussed on Mayday 2001. (This is NOT a conference on ideology, direction of the 'movement', party building etc…)
Please contact us soon as possible so we know how many people will be attending also if you need a crèche place (babies to 8 years old), 9-15 self-managed youth space or accommodation let us know before you come. (Note: there will not be a crèche available for the social event in the evening)
If you cannot attend please send in clear ideas ASAP and a hard copy by post if you are not using email. It is advised, if using email, to obtain a 'hushmail' email account from www.hushmail.com. Emails sent between hushmail email account holders are immediately encrypted and therefore much harder to monitor.
