* Sat 16th
This Saturday there's a party as a benefit for the Real2Reel Video
Collective which is putting together vol3 of their action packed video
compilations. This one will contain the Serpica Naro/San Precaro
anti-precarity action in Milano, Desobedientes staged conflict in
Roma, GM actions against Sainsburies, A 'rough-guide' to international
social centres', Subvertising, crap arrests and much more. It will be
available in the summer.
So, come to the rampART on from 8pm this saturday, for a party and
sneek previews of some of the raw footage plus a film making workshop
and screenings of Real2Reel films, such as 'SuperTroupers' and 'Big
Brother' harresment of the Wombles, 'Sky Roma' a rather amusing video
of a demo held outside the Sky Studio in Rome, 'Bayer blockade' direct
action training video, and even a film about the rampART social centre
itself.
Suggested donation at the entrance £3. Organic beera and food available.
There will be visuals throughout the night from FreedomX.
On the stage:
Duncan McPherson, solo, followed by a bardic take on the dysfunctional
soap opera called western culture by Corneilius Lookwood. The Lower
Depths will bring the punk into the rampart. Stomp your feet to the
pogo and then dance to DavidCronenberg'sWife. After that, an
electronic live music with Surge. Both technology and emotions are
included in his highly danceble set.
On the turntables:
DJane Sexyrubbersole from the WomensAnarchistNuissanceCafe with her
vibrant dNb vibes, Anarchist electro grrrl pop and punk with DJane
Mondstrom from Germany and last but not least from old skool funk at
its best to new beats with DJ Milo.

G8 Climate Counter Summit - Follow up meeting
7 PM, Rampart Street (15 Rampart Street, London E1)
On March 14th over 70 people attended the G8 Climate Counter Summit. With
more than 20 different groups represented, an exciting range of ideas were
put forward for planning diverse actions in Scotland and around the
country on the 8th of July, the International Day of Action on the Root
Causes of Climate Change. Great ideas and a buzz of energy made for an
inspiring evening, and people were keen to continue to work together in
the run-up to the G8. To facilitate this, the next planning meeting was
set for Monday, April 18. To find out more and to make sure this meeting

TRAPESE Roadshow with Schnews at Ten
TRAPESE is on the road to inform and mobilise people to take positive
action around the issues behind the G8 through workshops and events in
social spaces. Having travelled the length and breadth of the country,
TRAPESE comes rolling into London on 23rd April.
What goes on under the TRAPESE big-top? Renewable energies, popular
education, alternative medias and grassroots participation are our
thing.
Oil fuelled profit crazy big Corp government, not. So, roll up for the
flight of the TRAPESE, flying through the high ether of climate
change, oil-war, the G8 and civil disobedience, crashing spectacularly
to the ground with a selection of interactive workshops, a pub quiz
and short
films.
Stick around later for the Schnews at Ten party, with bar, DJs, live
music and a possible appearance by the infamous Jazz Terrorists.
