Jamming Evian

no roads lead to Evian

Last night and this morning several groups left the Intergalactic camp site, making their way to the one of the key points on the map and many more arrived. The drums have hummed all day whilst people move to be close to the roads leading to Evian, in Geneve, Lossane and Annamasse.
Here in Annamasse there is a real determination to shut down the G8 and deliver many messages.

At Interegalactic today there was..... a forum with the Francois Xaivier Verschave (Survive) talking about corruption in Africa and Frances involvement in this, civil disobedience workshops, Palistian/French solidarity discussions, a screening of "Money or Your Life", workshops on MAI and GATTS, drumming / dance workshops, art stuff constructing and Manu Chao will play tonight.

As the ideas for the blockade on this side come together so does our challanges to tomorrows meeting of the G8 and its agenda for the future.

As a Geneva resident I watch the developments of the G8 summit and the protests against it very closely. Keep up the good work! Even if you fail in stopping the summit, you've have sent an important message to the world. But please, do show that you're serious about this by knowing the placed in which you demonstrate!! The cities you have mentioned are spelled LAUSANNE and ANNEMASSE, not Lossane and Annamasse.
