It should be a really interesting bunch of people that
turn up to Strasbourg to make some waves following the
Police battering of ravers at the Czech Tek. Hopefully
a lot of on the case people, who are quite tuned in,
all in one place.

12th November – 12h Strasbourg –
14:00 Place De la Republique.

There is information about everything happening being
co-ordinated at this website!
http://www.soundcirkle.info/europe/

–///
here’s a note from the website

“The manifestation will start at 14:00 (13:00 GMT) but
we can access the Place de l’Universite at 12:00
(11:00 GMT) to prepare the mobile sound systems.

Ending would be around 19:00 (18:00 GMT).
Then we’ll do a short Teknival…”

–///
Event against arbitrary repressions of named
“Teknival” and “Free Parties”.

Those events just are the expression of free Art and
Cultures, without commercial purposes, open to ALL
PEOPLE, helping them to share, develop and enrich
those cultures.

An Event to ensure that what happend in Tcheck
Republic never happens again anymore !!

In an emerging constitutional Europe, we won’t
tolerate member nations scorning places of creative
freedom or destroying them with Police brutality or
security laws.

We can’t give up in front of those kind of
discriminatory acts.
We won’t abdicate ahead of intolerance.
We won’t accept to be silenced.
We just have to go ahead and spread informations.

For this, we need U… .. .

Gran Action –

Granaction is a new direct action group. It’s aim to
cross frontiers of protest, age and gender with an aim
of scrambling the minds of the powers that be. The
powers that are currently stopping freedom of protest
by over-policing.

On October 16th we took over a McDonalds dressed as
raging grannies!

This is an entrant to the Undercurrents BeyondTV6
Festival. We have used some xvid/divx footage that was
uploaded here in the film and we are contacting those
authors to get a hold of mini dv versions for the 3rd
edit. If you have footage that you think will go well
with this film please contact us at the above email,
please do the same if you have any suggestions or
comments. The film itself covers the day of blockades
in an agit prop, music video style. It tries to
explain the frustration of the previous 2 days of
being ” penned in ” by the police at protests and the
contrast between the direct action blockades and what
was going on at Live 8. Tech stuff: This video was
encoded with the Xvid open source codec.
