Contemporary Anti-War Mobilizations

Agonistic Engagement Within Social Movement Networks

A two-day workshop to be held in Corfu, Greece, November 6-7, 2003

The network perspective is often discussed in relation to social movements
and collective action. Key elements of the latter, such as actors,
agencies, organizations, institutions etc. witnessing, participating,
confronting or allying with social movements, can be studied in their
networked entanglements -- consensual or conflictual, deliberative or
agonistic -- at any level of collective action -- local, national or global.

Concerning the European
Union Summit Taking Place in Thessaloniki (Greece) in June 2003


Against the EU Bosses


After a series of summits all around Europe, the EU bosses come to visit their partners in Greece and make decisions for us -- without us. We announce that they will find us on their every step in our cities. We gonna be present wherever they go, and we gonna be by the side of the workers and the common people who resist in any possible way to the brutal capitalist globalisation.

Because of that, some of the anti-authoritarians and anarchists (both groups and individuals) in Greece decided to create the "Anti-authoritarian Movement Salonika 2003" in order to organise our resistance against the plans of the local and global bosses.

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.
