[dissent-tech] Anti-G8 Solidarity Mobilizations in San Francisco & Kansas City

[farhan zahid]

Hey,
Anarchist Action is organizing a West Coast anti-capitalist convergence in 
solidarity with the anti-G8 Scotland convergence here in San Francisco. 
There will also be an anti-capitalist midwest convergence in Kansas City, 
Missouri in solidarity with anti-g8 efforts in Scotland, that callout is 
available at: anarchistaction.org/kansascity  (I also copied it in this 
email, below the SF callout)
It would be much appreciated if you put our two callouts up somewhere on 
your website. Thanks.

Here is the SF callout (also available at anarchistaction.org/g8):

    All Empires Must Fall!
    West Coast Anti-Capitalist Mobilization Against the G8
    July 6-8, San Francisco

    Call for a West Coast anti-war and anti-capitalist mass convergence, 
July 6-8 of 2005 in San Francisco, in solidarity with the mobilization 
against the Group of Eight (G8) summit in Scotland.

    From July 6-8, 2005, the annual G8 summit we be held at Gleneagles Hotel 
in Scotland. The G8 is a forum of the rulers of the eight most 
industrialized, wealthy, and powerful states in the world. Every year they 
meet to discuss how to further their interests, expand their empire, and 
tighten their grip on every aspect of our lives. The consequences effect us 
all, and their economic success comes at our expense. The G8 exists to 
manage and maintain a system whose impacts we see all around us: war, 
genocide, wage slavery, mass poverty, structural racism, famine, 
environmental destruction, colonial domination in Africa, Asia, & Latin 
America, social alienation, and accelerating attacks on working people 
around the world.

    But resistance is growing across the globe, in struggles as diverse as 
they are numerous. And in recent years, everywhere the G8 has met huge 
movements of people have confronted them, both demanding systemic change and 
fighting for a global social revolution.

    In recognition of the call to action by Peoples' Global Action for 
Global Days of Action to be held against the G8, we are mobilizing for a 
regional convergence here in San Francisco. We are calling on everyone ready 
to fight for a better world - workers, students, revolutionaries, 
anti-capitalists... - from across the North American West Coast to converge 
and manifest their resistance on the streets. A Mid-West regional 
convergence is being called for in Kansas City (check out: 
anarchistaction.org/kansascity), and East Coast in Richmond, Virgina.

    Our convergence will be in solidarity with those descending upon the 
streets of Scotland to face the G8 head on. We act in solidarity with 
revolutionaries taking to the streets to defend working peoples' lives all 
around the world: the struggle against neoliberal privatization in Bolivia; 
against transit fare increases in Brazil, Chicago, and San Francisco; 
against the Minutemen along the border; and against the PG&E power plant in 
Hunter's Point.

    Global capital will show the full force of its domestic military 
capabilities in Scotland - we can confront these summits on our own terms, 
and this mobilization is a step in that direction.

    Capitalism is everywhere, but so are we - we will converge in our city 
and fight it on our own terms!

Free Housing is available (details coming soon).
