> When the G8 meet at Gleneagles hotel in Perthshire, Scotland (around 60km
> north of Edinburgh), the Dissent! Network are calling for people to join
> the convergences in Scotland and to disrupt the Summit. The Peoples’
> Global Action European Conference, which took place in Belgrade in July
> 2004, has supported this call and is also calling for simultaneous actions
> in villages, towns and cities worldwide on the opening day of the
> Conference: Wednesday 6th July 2005. To view the PGA Call, go to:

> The mobilisation to Scotland next year, and the Global Day of Action, is
> beginning to be networked and co-ordinated internationally. During the
> European Social Forum (ESF), taking place in London from October 13th-17th
> 2004, the Dissent! Network are hosting a ‘Day of Dissent Against the G8’.
> The event will take place at the Beyond ESF event, autonomous from the
> ‘official’ Social Forum. The event will take place at Middlesex
> University, White Hart Lane Campus, London, N17 8HR (opposite White Hart
> Lane train station) from 11am on Friday 15th October 2004. The day will
> include educational workshops, skill sharing, training, discussions,
> debates, opportunities to become involved with working groups, and time to
> meet with groups involved in the mobilisation. It will be a chance to
> discuss and plan actions, and share and compare our experiences of past
> mobilisations. The Day of Dissent! will be followed by a benefit party
> from 9pm.
