ANTI-GLOBALIZATION MOBILIZATION IN NICE Dec 5-7 2000

Protests against EU Summit

Thousands of people converged on the French town of Nice to show their anger about current EU policies and globalising capitalism, and to discuss alternatives to them. Protestors attempted to blockade the venue of the European Union summit where EU leaders gathered to hammer out the future of the block. Heavy clashes between police and protestors followed, as police bombarded activists with concussion grenades and tear gas. A Banque Nationale de Paris office was set alight.

CLIMATE CONFERENCE IN THE HAGUE Nov 18 2000

Climate talks dam-ned

More than five thousand protestors laid siege to climate change talks in The Hague. Calling for curbs on greenhouse gas emissions, activists built a sandbag wall at the venue to warn of the risk of flooding posed by global warming. Security officers forcibly removed some activists who gained entry to a room where an energy seminar was taking place. Check out the video.

Several demonstrations were held during the two weeks protests and the police responded with mass-arrests. Over 100 people were arrested at the Nuclear Walk of Shame on 22 November. Because of the extensive police presence, Greenpeace had decided not to take part in this particular protest.

US PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE 3 Oct 2000

Politics behind closed doors = no democracy.

The first presidential debate will take place at UMASS Boston on Tuesday, October 3. You won't be allowed inside. Neither will all but the two corporate candidates and their wealthy supporters, and the narrow views they represent. We think that's wrong and we're doing something about it. Join us on October 3 to demand a real, open debate. Join us to demonstrate for social justice and for issues that affect ordinary people, like health care, housing, education, economic inequality, and the growth of prisons and police brutality. Join us to stand up for people and communities.

BOLIVIA RISING Sep 24 2000

Confrontation in Parotani Leaves Dead and Wounded

For more than a week Bolivia has been convulsed by waves of protests by peasants, coca growers, public school teachers and others. One key form of protest has been the blocking of major highways, effectively cutting off regions one from the other, and Bolivia from neighboring countries. At least two people were killed and over 10 wounded today in confrontation between Bolivian military and protesters near the community of Parotani, about 350 km from La Paz, Bolivia's capital, when government troops, under civilian cover, fired tear gas and live ammunition on protesters.

WEF MEETING IN MELBOURNE Sep 11 2000

World Economic Forum meeting in Melbourne blockaded

At 2pm Australian time on Monday September 11 it appears the blockade of the World Economic Forum at Crown Casino in Melbourne has been a success. About half of the 800 delegates to the conference have been prevented from entering the building and inside the feeling is a little tense. Apparently some delegates have refused to leave their hotel rooms to attempt running the blockade. Protesters are claiming victory in their efforts to "close down the WEF" For more information and coverage of resistance and the protests see Melbourne Indymedia and the S11 website.


In London around 30 people gathered on The Strand in a solidarity action with those protesting against the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Australia.
