HOW TO: Conduct Direct Action Against Bush Visit -- Seattle Style

T. H. Whyte | 18.11.2003 05:12 | Anti-militarism | London

Seattle, Washington, USA showed the world how to conduct real direct-action protests during the WTO protests. This site shows some of the possibilities of the STOP BUSH protests:  http://www.zmedia.org/WTO/N30.htm Direct action is what the media cover and what people understand.

These protests against the inhumanity of the World Trade Organization resulted in the formation of Indymedia and have carried through to the Cancun trade meetings this year. Similar results ARE possible in the staid old UK!

The following link shows the scope of the direct action in Seattle -- lots of photos and vivid descriptions.

There is an even greater need NOW to STOP BUSH in the UK than to stop the WTO talks in Seattle.

Look at the site for inspiration.  http://www.zmedia.org/WTO/N30.htm

Consider the inhuman war in Iraq and the damage to the UK and USA as well, and let's make this the biggest, hottest, most memorable demonstration against facism yet!

Citizens of Seattle showed the way. There's no telling what 100,000 or 200,000 motivated protesters in London can do. Massive disruption is defintely possible. Direct action is what the media cover and what people understand.

The best goal is to totally ruin the state visit of the war criminal Bush, aborting planned festivities if possible.
