From 6-8 June 2007, the G8 Summit – the meeting of the heads of state and
government of the USA, Canada, Japan, Great Britain, France, Italy,
Germany and Russia – are planning on meeting in Germany.
Inspired by the original aims and actions of the Dissent Network in the
UK, some of the libertarian left in Germany have adopted the same name and
similar aims:
•Stop the G8 summit
•and in order to do so create a network of ongoing solidarity on an
international level.
There is to be a Meeting to discuss G8 Mobilisation for 2007, to be hosted
by Sumac Centre in Nottingham on the 28th January. Limited accommodation
is provided for those who wish to travel from afar. In particular, those
wishing to travel to the venue on Saturday 27th to have informal
pre-meetings. Please email if you require accommodation:
sumac@veggies.org.uk
Food will be provided for by Veggies, for a small cost.
The mobilisation is committed to bottom up, decentralised organising.
Activists from the mobilisation have toured internationally to involve as
many people as possible. The tours arose from an international gathering
for the mobilisation, called Campinski, near the German G8 summit venue
last summer. The UK leg of the tour in October saw activists from the UK
2005 mobilisation, Russian 2006 mobilisation and Germany 2007 mobilisation
working together. The tour visited the Anarchist Bookfair in London,
Brighton, Reading, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Liverpool Leeds, Birmingham and
Cardiff. People at all these venues felt that it would be good to have a
one day gathering for feedback and discussions on the G8 2007
mobilisation.
This callout is in consequence to those peoples' wishes.
