11 June 2013. #J11.
One Common Struggle.
Carnival Against Capitalism.
Read on for the #J11 call-out. Also check out the #J11 action map ( https://network23.org/stopg8/j11-carnival-against-capitalism/j11-map-of-the-capitalist-west-end/) of the West End, with 100 addresses of power, tyranny, and exploitation. Click on the map (here - http://mappingthecorporations.org/_ to download and zoom in. There is also an online map with further info (still being added to). For more background on the map and capitalist London read this.
Their London?
London is right at the heart of global capitalism. And the West End of
London, including elite areas like Piccadilly, Mayfair and Knightsbridge, is where power and greed are most concentrated. The West End is home to:
* Corporations. Many of the world’s most brutal and polluting companies,
including oil and mining giants, arms dealers, and the businesses
profiting from cuts and privatisation.
* Vulture funds. Global base of the “hedge fund” and “private equity”
industries, laundering the world’s blood money to invest in war, food
speculation and debt slavery.
* Tyrants. Government offices, embassies, cultural and commercial fronts
of colonial powers and murderous regimes.
* Playground of the mega-rich. Middle Eastern dictators, Russian mafia
oligarchs, and home-grown parasites all see London as a “safe” place to hide and spend their loot.
Our Carnival.
Traditionally, carnival is the time where the people take over the
streets, the bosses run and hide, and the world gets turned upside down.
It is a time to celebrate our resistance and our dreams, to bring music and colour to the streets. And also to show our strength and our anger.
The powerful feel safe in London so long as they go unchallenged. But the people looting our planet have names and addresses. On #J11 we will party in the streets, point out the hiding places of power, and take back the heart of our city for a day. Our streets. Our world.
Join us.
Like any good carnival, everyone’s invited: this will be an open,
inclusive, and lively event. There will be a main route with sound systems and public meeting points. Bring music, costumes, banners, friends, ideas. We also encourage independent actions, and will publish soon a detailed map of the area to help you make your own plans. The Green and Black Cross group will provide experienced medical and legal support.
