Defend
Boston!
In less than a years time, the Democratic National Convention will come
invade the city of Boston. With the DNC will come Police Chief John
Timoney, the architect of the 'Miami Model.' Our streets will be shut
down, our subway lines closed, our communities swarmed with militarized
police, and barricades erected in our city. All of this to keep the
people away from the 'political process.' All of this to ensure that
the domination of multinational corporations continues unchallenged.
In
response, we are mobilizing to defend our town. Today we call for a
consulta to be held here, in Boston, in February of 2004. This is a
chance to learn about the city, build networks, share information, and
plan for decentralized resistance to the DNC. Come hear what is
already been discussed, and bring your own ideas. Another purpose of
this meeting is to ensure that whatever takes place here in July, our
comrades, friends, parents, children, and communities remain safe
before, during, and after the DNC.
So
consider this
a direct invitation if you have ever served a food not bombs meal, if
you have ever screamed your lungs out as a radical cheerleader, if you
have ever written a story for indymedia, if you have ever hopped a
train in the middle of the night, if you have ever washed the pepper
spray out of a stranger's eyes, if you have ever written a letter to an
unknown prisoner, if you have ever raised a fist in anger,
if you have ever planted a garden out of love, if you have taught a
friend how to sew, if you have ever walked a picket line in solidarity,
if you have ever dreamed of a better world.
And even you have never done anything at all, but feel that burning
desire that something must be done, then you are definitely welcome.
All
anti-authoritarians are welcome and encouraged to attend... because if
we don't who will?
