Call Out For Action in Solidarity with 2004 G8 Summit June 8th-10th
DISSENT! NETWORK | 25.04.2004 14:14 | Globalisation | World
        
        On June 8th – 10th 2004 the G8 Summit will be staged on Sea Island, 80 miles south of Savannah in the United States. This location has been specifically chosen by the G8 because it is impossible for protestors to access and therefore groups in the United States have put out a call for decentralised actions
      
    
     
    
        
        In this spirit of solidarity with actions in the United States, the Dissent! Network, a UK-wide anti-capitalist network that operates by the People’s Global Action hallmarks, is calling for local actions and events between 8th-10th June. Through a diversity of tactics Dissent hopes to make people aware of next years G8 summit in the UK and the growing movement which opposes it. Actions could range from educational films and events, to street parties and targeted direct action against the UK government. 
The leaders of the eight richest, industrial countries may hide on mountain-tops and remote islands, they may surround themselves by fences and police, but they cannot hide from the global movement against capitalism. From the War on Iraq to the global economic and ecological meltdown, the policies of the G8 are clearly corrupt. In 2004, Dissent! and others are already building momentum against the G8. In 2005, we will disrupt the G8 meetings in Britain. The days of the G8 are numbered.
In solidarity with the United States protest movements, in the UK there will be protests and events against the G8. To get involved contact Dissent!:ent:

Maydays. Its gonna be interesting - though I won't hold my breat - to see if anything can be organised in less than two months.
The Dissent network meeting in Brighton should definitely have included the solidarity actions this year as a main point of discussion, rather than wishy-washy post modernist stuff that could have waited till later (or ignored).
I don't feel any of this bodes at all well for the UK anti-G8 mobilisation :(
