The war against Iraq is not just against Iraq. This war is against the people of this country as well. We aim to connect the war abroad with the war for our civil liberties at home. The capitalist machine at home drives this war. The rich are getting richer while the poor are getting the shaft. Workers of the world unite with us in solidarity to confront the state in a true Showdown in Texas. Lets send our message clear that we do not support this war! That we do not support this capitalist system! We call upon all to converge upon Austin, using whatever tactics they feel are necessary and prudent to carry out the goals of their respective organizations and constituencies; we call all upon all to organize in affinity groups and coalitions as necessary to resist the legalized planning for the criminalization of dissent; and we leave up to individuals and groups to choose whatever tactics they deem appropriate to their cause, and that such tactics be carried out independent of one another when necessary. We call upon the defense of non-violent activists against the likely abuse by the police who will likely rise to the occasion.


Come dressed in fashion and show your support and solidarity. More info will be available as time draws closer to the date. Texas has never seen the BlackBloc before, so this will truly be a test of ourselves and the police. In solidarity,
