NikeTown and Gap should be targets for mass protest on Mayday 2001. On Mayday 2001 we could organise several mass protests in central London outside bad companies. Outside NikeTown in Oxford circus for example hundreds of people could blockade the store and bock the Oxford Circus road junction while chanting anti Nike and Gap slogans. These protests could start at 11 am. The at about 2pm thousands of people could meet up for a mass street party in central London in somewhere like Tottenham court road. If we start organising for Mayday 2001 now and spread the word via e-mail etc. We could have the biggest ever anti-capitalist action in London. But we have got to start organising for it now. Last years Mayday day of action was a complete disaster with only 5000 people taking part in an action that got totally smashed up by police. 5000 out of a city of seven and a half million is a disgrace. We can do better than that. lets make sure this comming Mayday there are at least a 100,000 on the streets of London.

I think we need to get away from London based protests and people should be organising locally - and also Mayday should not solely be about what companies do in other countries, we should link up connections between there and here.

A large anti-capitalism protest would get the attention of the public. But in what way? The media tends to brand any kind of protest which strikes at the heart of the system as just a band of hooligans out to start trouble. Last year attained nothing basically. And the next day all we seen in the media was images of people throwing chairs at mcdonalds, spraying on monuments etc. The general publics perception of this was of utter disgust. Well i'm not sure if i can get down to London for Mayday. I'll try anyway. I'm 16 and basically skint, plus the rail system is just not working. Make sure people's perception of what goes down that day is not a bunch of hooligans but a a mass of people coming together to make a stand against the currupt and unfair capitalist system that we all must abide by.
