Chances are Bush will announce that war is imminent.We need to be ready for this move on their part and consider what our response will be.

To that end, we are calling a black bloc for the
convergence at Times Square on Invasion Day.

Subject: March 15 Giant World-Wide Anti-War Rally: Pass It On!

Shockingly, I find that somehow everyone has not yet heard about the March 15 world-wide rally -- and it is vital at this crucial moment to have as much participation as possible. You CAN effect change! Please pass this on fast and wide.



"Globally, March 15 promises to be the largest day of coordinated protest ever."

"Virtual Sit-in of Dow 'Greenwash' Site, All This Week"

http://www.dowethics.com/bhopal.com/



Action Ends on March 17th, 2003



Dow Chemical is going to court this week in India. Not as the defendants

for their ongoing responsibility for the Bhopal disaster, but as the

plaintiffs: Dow is suing the SURVIVORS of the disaster for protesting at a

Dow plant, and--we're not making this up--they're demanding US$10,000 from

them... about 10 years of wages at local rates.

The next anti-Capitalist social night is on Tuesday 18th March at its new regular venue:


7.30pm at The Foundry, 82-84 Great Eastern Street, London EC2

(on the corner of Old St & Gt Eastern St - nearest tube: Old Street)

From now on, whatever else is happening, you know that we will be organising an anti-Capitalist social at the Foundry on the 3rd Tuesday of every month.


As well as being a social event -- with all anti-Capitalists welcome (whatever flavour) -- the social nights have proved to be a useful place to meet new people and have hosted some excellent political and practical discussions. As usual, there is no line being pushed, no hassle, no lectures. Now we have a regular venue with lots of room, we're also thinking about expanding the social nights to include film showings and the occasional eclectic speaker - if you have any suggestions, please let us know.


TACT - Temporary anti-Capitalist Teams

http://www.temporary.org.uk"

March 15, 2003, marks the seventh year of this

international day of protest and solidarity against

police brutality. It first began in 1997 as an

initiative of the Black Flag collective in Switzerland

along with the help of 'le Collective Opposé à la

Brutalité Policière' (COBP-Montreal). Since its first

year, the International Day Against Police Brutality

(IDAPB) has been a success. This date was chosen

because on March 15th, two children, aged 11 and 12,

were beaten by the Swiss police.

We are excited to announce that the next edition of

the Anarchist Black Cross Network publication will be

produced by the Break The Chains collective.



We are now accepting submissions for the newsletter

from anti-authoritarian and anti-capitalist prisoners

and prison activists - so send us your contributions

of poetry, artwork, and articles analyzing the Prison

Industrial Complex, how prison relates to and

reinforces other forms of oppression (racism, gender

oppression, etc.), articles on prisoner-support and

prisoner resistance, critiques of contemporary

movement trends, and suggestions for how anarchist

prisoner-aid groups such as the ABCN can be more

effective at supporting prisoners and building a

movement to abolish prisons and the deranged society

that continues to build them. We are especially

interested in hearing from politically conscious and

active women prisoners and prison activists, whose

voices are all too often underrepresented in our

movement.

"Little Sister 2003

Community Resistance, Security, Law and Technology"

May 9-11, 2003



Vancouver, British Columbia (Coast Salish Territory)

Martime Labour Centre

The Goal is Freedom:



We believe our greatest strength in defeating the security and legal

maneuvers used against us as community organizers is by unifying and

building common cause in our movements. This means building diverse

coalitions who are willing to support each other in order to create safe

spaces for oppposition to the policies and practices of governments and

corporations. Ultimately, as organizers, our goal is to resist the

injustices that our communities face, while retaining our physical and

emotional freedom.
