Join the Black Bloc on Reclaim the Night

a | 19.11.2008 13:29 | Gender | Repression

The london anarchafeministkolektiv has called for a black bloc in this years reclaim the night to protest against the police co-option and pro-criminalization stance of the event. Saturday, November 22nd at 6:00 pm.

Reclaim the Night is an annual women-only march protesting against rape and sexual assualt. However, the the march has a constant theme of being pro-police and pro-criminalisation whilst being anti-trans and anti-sex workers. Last year the Met police were given a platform and welcomed with open arms. Police don't make us safer - We want to reclaim Reclaim the Night!

The bloc will be meeting up at 6pm just beneath the north end of the
Hungerford pedestrian bridge (just to the west of Charing X station, and
across the road from the river - there are some bike racks under the steps/near the lift).

So please come, wear black, bring a red umberella if you want to show solidarity with sex workers (there is a 'red umberella bloc' as well!) and
any black flags you have at home, any messages for placards....
The london feminist network will be handing out hundreds of free placards,
so if you write your own message on a sheet of paper you could just staple
on top of theirs. Trans folk are very welcome to join us if you are looking for a safer space to be on the march.
