Calls for Action

September 24-25: Resist the G20 Summit in Pittsburgh

Join Thousands at a Convergence of Action, Resistance and Hope

POG Statement on G20 Resistance

Pittburghers didn’t ask the G20 to come here, but it is our intention that the worldview the summit represents will die here.

The NorthEast Anarchist Network is endorsing the "Self Described Anarchist Collective" and Global Justice Action calls for a diversity of tactics, including direct action, to disrupt the Spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank in Washington, DC. Even in this era of uncontrolled economic retraction and collapse, the IMF and World Bank continue to reach for their misleading, self-proclaimed objective of "eradicating poverty", while paradoxically ignoring the needs of poor and indigenous communities.

The NYU Administration REFUSES to negotiate with the Take Back NYU! Occupation (takebacknyu.com) and are threatening expulsion and arrest tonight. The students are refusing to back down and continue to press their demands for an affordable and just NYU.

Take Back NYU! needs your support! Please take a second to e-mail the NYU administration, particularly President Sexton and tell them to negotiate! Below is a sample e-mail that you can use.

Calling is also really important, please take a moment to call at least President Sexton and let him know you support the Occupation.

FROM COAST TO COAST, WE DEMAND AN END TO REPRESSION

In recent days, there has been an escalation of state repression in Oaxaca specifically directed at our companer@s in the APPO (Asamblea Popular de los Pueblos de Oaxaca/Popular Assembly of the People of Oaxaca), CIPO-RFM (Consejo Indigena de Popular de Oaxaca-Ricardo Flores Magon/Council of Indigenous Peoples of Oaxaca) and other organizations of resistance.

CALL FOR SUPPORT

PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY

Hello to all our friends and supporters,

In the last week, eight people affiliated with the RNC Welcoming Committee were arrested in their homes or picked up off the streets and charged with conspiracy to riot and furtherance of terrorism. The Welcoming Committee was a group that formed to facilitate logistics (food, housing, convergence center) around the 2008 Republican National Convention Protests in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Most of them were arrested in the days leading up to the convention, and many had their homes raided by law enforcement. They were being held in the Ramsey County jail but as of Thursday were all released on bail or bond. They are now facing serious criminal charges and the potential of a protracted and expensive legal battle.
