G8 & SUPPORTING THOSE ARRESTED

13-08-2005 12:22

At the recent G8 protests in Scotland there were some 450 people detained by the police. A number were then released, so the number of arrests is far less that 450. However, we don’t know how much less. So, we are putting a call out for a number of requests. (With Spanish translation).

Leeds Day of Dissent @ the Common Place 14th May

06-05-2005 14:18

This July, the G8 — the heads of state of the world’s most powerful countries — will be meeting in Gleneagles, Scotland. Whilst Blair’s government talks of tackling climate change, it’s imposing a huge new road-building programme, and massive airport expansions. While G8 leaders talk of relieving poverty in the global south, they uphold a financial system that creates global famine, military repression and social and environmental breakdown.

People in Leeds are organising and will be going to Scotland

Invitation to the Dissent! Network Gathering in Edinburgh 17th - 19th September

05-08-2004 12:08

The G8 (Group of eight most industrialised nations) Summit will be held at Gleneagles Hotel in Perthshire, about 40 miles/70 kilometres away from Edinburgh, in Scotland from 6-8th of July 2005. In past years, everywhere they have tried to meet they have been met with a massive response from the world's social movements. Now, in Britain, a network of groups and individuals is emerging that resists the Summit, and forms a lasting movement against capitalism.

The next Dissent! Gathering will take place in Edinburgh on 17th-19th September 2004.

Come along and get involved!
