STREETS! Thanks Aaron :) --------- Forwarded Message --------- DATE: Tue, 26 Sep 2000 03:40:52 From: Aaron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2000 16:11:25 -0700 From: Megan Evart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Localize the Movement for Global Justice--Come out for S26! S26 San Francisco Bay Area [SNIP; the following was way at the end] **** RECLAIM THE STREETS! **** Tuesday, Sept. 26, 6:00 PM in Berkeley. The inspiring movement that started in England in May 1995, bringing together the liveable cities, anti-car, public gathering/rave and anti-prison industry forces by holding powerful and positive unofficial street parties, has now gone global in much the same way that San Francisco Critical Mass has, and for many of the same reasons. Although SF Mass celebrates its actual 8th birthday the day before, the reason for these demonstrations is to protest the human rights violations and environmental destruction caused by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank (IMF/WB), which is meeting in Prague on that day. In Berkeley, gather at 6:00 PM at the downtown Berkeley BART. There will be a simultaneous critical mass and a dancin' march, two sound systems, and many festivities.

This is part of a Global Day of Action, in which people all over the world will protest globalization and "structural adjustment" policies for their ongoing destruction of human rights and the environment, as well as the commodification of all of life. The largest demonstrations are expected in Prague, where activists from all over the world are gathering as the 55th annual summit of the IMF and World Bank takes place. Here in Berkeley, we will take the struggle against globalization home by taking back our own streets, declaring that they are not just for shopping and driving, but for community, creativity, and celebration. Music, dancing, party games and costumes are expected. In addition, this protest also coincides with worldwide Car-Free Month, and the anniversary of the first "commuter clot" of bicyclists in San Francisco, which later became known as Critical Mass. Cars are the most visible symbol of an inhuman consumer society which is alienating, exploitative and is destroying the earth. There will be a simultaneous Critical Mass of bicycles alongside the September 26th march. For more information, please call 510-594-4002 or email [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------- Note: This action in Berkeley was announced months ago. It is unfortunate that the reformist elements of the movement, centered around Global Exchange, have since decided to schedule various activities to conflict with this explicitly anti-capitalist action. They have also tried to hide the fact that such an action is taking place. For example, the calendar they sent out on Monday doesn't mention the Berkeley action.
