break our communities into fragments, dominate and reach into the core of

humanity and destroy us. In it's first conference, jesusradicals hopes to

respond to the challenge of remaining one body in the face of the obstacles

society presents us.

No to the WTO!



In the Wake of the War, Here Comes the WTO:

(Call to mobilize towards Cancun, September 2003)


As the WTO slouches towards Cancun in September for their 5th Ministerial Meeting, a growing swell of opposition gathers to confront the Capitalist Globalizers. The Road to Cancun is filling with a multitude of voices uniting in one single deafening roar of Ya Basta! Enough is Enough, Shut Down the WTO!·



JOIN THE GREAT WAVE OF PROTEST ROLLING TOWARDS CANCUN SEPTEMBER 10-14!!!

(Call to mobilize towards Cancun, September 2003)



September is stormy season every year on the Caribbean coast of Cancun, and this year could prove to be one of the stormiest seasons registered for quite a while. From Mexico to Brazil, the US to India, Europe to Central America, everywhere, groups, organisations and individuals are mobilizing to come raise their voice in protest against the destructive economic policies of the World Trade Organization.



The WTO was last seen publicly (disgraced) in Seattle, 1999, whereupon they snuck off in 2001 for a remote get-together in Doha, Qatar, hiding behind the incumbent dictatorship of that tiny kingdom to do their dirty business. They have now gained enough confidence to appear before the general public again, albeit in the mega-beach resort located at the end of the Yucatan Peninsula and the beginning of pure neo-liberal nightmare·



Ladies and gentlemen of the many headed hydra of resistance, you are all invited to a celebration! We will be celebrating the possibility of another world that we hold in our hearts and are building together, today. In Cancun in September, tens of thousands of protesters will gather to express their opposition to the discredited economic policies formulated by the WTO, the global trade police who set the rules that nobody but they decide.

This is a not-so-early-warning announcement of a super grass roots Do-It-Together no budget radical summer camp thing we are organising for June in Chicago called FREEDOM FESTIVAL... We need some advice and inspiration. It is a follow up to and is related to another festival I work on called Version. http://www.versionfest.org

We want to rev up and rejuvenate a wandering and depressed movement.



Ok.. So:


Freedom Festivals are gatherings of artists, thinkers, activists, citizens and friends who wish to celebrate and strengthen, through performance and art, music , discussions and theater, the spirit and intent of the founding documents of this state and other free and democratic societies -- freedom of expression, pursuit of happiness, freedom from persecution, and other various civil liberties.

Libertarian Book Club's May 2003 Anarchist Forum

The Bush-Ashcroft War on Civil Liberties

On Tuesday May 13, at 7:30pm, the Libertarian Book Club's Anarchist Forum will present a forum on The Bush-Ashcroft War on Civil Liberties.  The speaker will be Frederick H.Cohn, a noted civil liberties and criminal defense lawyer. For many years, Fred Cohn has engaged in the defense of political defendents, of persons unjustly accused, and of harassed minorities. He represented the antiwar protesters of the Vietnam War era. Now he defends Muslims who are being persecuted. He is both indignant at and apprehensive of how the Bush-Ashcroft administration is limiting civil rights. He will discuss this and show that, if it continues, many of our traditional rights will soon only be memories. After his presentation Fred Cohn will answer questions and respond to whatever comments the audience wishes to make.
