Resist G8

We are a network of groups and individuals in the South-East, interested in actively resisting the UK presidency of the G8, and the summit of G8 leaders this year at Gleneagles, Scotland.

The G8 (8 of the world’s most powerful economies: USA, UK, France, Italy, Germany & Russia) was established to re-align national social structures in accordance with the growth and dominance of global capital. The G8 symbolises the unified face of global capital and the enforcement of state power.

In a world increasingly dominated by the commodification of images and the omnipresence of hierarchies, leaders and celebrities, the G8 summit becomes the re-enforcement of the powers that be, which dictate and order our lives. It becomes no more than a media circus, a convenient photo shoot dominating our view and reproducing our powerlessness.

We see this initiative as part of an ongoing social struggle to take our lives back into our own hands. A struggle that is characterised by it’s self-organisation in the face of global repression; from occupied social centres to direct actions against war and corporate power, to mass mobilisations in opposition to international summits.

We hold monthly assemblies to organise. NEXT SOUTH EAST ASSEMBLY:

6th South-East Assembly
Date: Sat 11th June
Time: 2pm -6.00pm
Venue: University of London Union, Malet Street, WC1.

This is an anti-authoritarian initiative and the assembly and co-ordination is being done without the need of formalised “steering committees” or by voting. These assemblies are used to co-ordinate activities across the South East of England, to announce initiatives and to discuss the political basis of what we are doing.
