The day the current Iraq war began, thousands of anti-war protesters poured into San Francisco using multiple, small, largely autonomous affinity groups to occupy intersections, block buildings and try to shut down the Bay Bridge. By early evening at least 1,025 people had been arrested (see
http://www.voices.netuxo.co.uk/Bush%20and%20Rice.htm) Last Summer, during the Republican National Convention in New York, nearly 1800 people were arrested, during direct action protests of considerable sophistication – three times more than during the (in)famous 1968 Democratic National Convention (see http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=04/09/01/1424236 and http://www.democracynow.org/static/ny_model.shtml).
On 22 Feb George Bush will fly to Brussels for NATO and EU summit talks and, according to some press reports, he will then fly to Britain to meet Tony Blair and Jacques Chirac. If you or your group are interested in exploring how peace and social justice movements can use this "San Francisco Model" - using multiple, small, clued-up & largely autonomous affinity groups, simultaneously and with no pre-arranged meeting point - here in the UK (possibly around Bush's visit or maybe at a later event), please join us on the 19th. Anti-war, climate change, anti-nuclear, Israel-Palestine & global justice activists all welcome!
