Brothers and Sisters,

more and more people within the movement feel that if we really want this war to be stopped, we must be ready to take the struggle up to the next level. what does this mean? I ask everyone to listen before judging. it means that alongside mass street demos (which play a crucial role), a more ACTIVE kind of struggle, following the "philosophies" of Direct Action and Civil Disobedience, must rise up to show those in power that the will of the people cannot be silenced forever. we are ready to take over the streets, the schools, the workplaces and to STOP the system from working if this is what is necessary to be heard. let there be no doubt, mass demos play an extremely important role in the struggle, we simply feel it is not enough. we don't want any divisions within the movement, just mutual respect between people that, with the aim of reaching the same goal, follow different paths of resistance. here are some of the conclusions that were reached in the first UK Indymedia discussion: it was suggested that a mass sit-in could be heald in Grosvenor Square, a "Picnic for Peace", blockading the roads, on March 30th, the day of Stop the War/CND demo. it was also said that we could try and "attack" the US embassy, but the effectiveness of this is to be discussed, as well the consequences this action could have (in short: police repression). The idea is the creation of a Direct Action Block Against the War that would bring its own methods of struggle to every anti-war demo, as well as organizing its own actions. Topics such as the way the Block should interact with the rest of the march were also discussed, if we should follow the march and then brake off or follow a different rout from start.we don't want to endanger or involve those who don't want to get involved. if you want to join it will be your choice. to view the thread go to:  http://www.uk.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=24282&group=webcast
the aim is to bring together all those groups and individuals that believe it is time to raise the heat of the political struggle. these actions shouldn't be seen as "violent" acts, blockading a road is a completely non-violent way of "stopping the system"(metaphorically speaking), even if only for a short period of time; and is an effective way of gaining attention for our cause. the group could also get involved in occupations etc. actions would be decided through a democratic process. our limits are our imagination and our inner strenght.
help up build a network of creative resistance!
propose, criticize, discuss, ask question, just don't hate! help us build something new!
i have created a mail account for anyone who wants to get involved: Direct Action Against the War Now! the D.A.A.W.N of a new struggle:  direct_action_against_the_war_now@hotmail.com
