A-Infos (en) US, NYC, G8 2005 Screening and Reportback Sep 20 at 8PM

On September 20th at 8:00 PM, there will be a screening of NYC Indymedia
footage from the 2005 G8 protests at the Times Up space at 49 E. Houston
St. The screening will be followed by a reportback from individuals who
attended the protests and an update on actions planned for the September
24th protests in Washington, DC.

During July of 2005, the G8 (Group of Eight, most industrialized
nations) summit was held at Gleneagles in Perthshire, Scotland.
Thousands of protestors from around the world showed up to disrupt the
summit.  Actions ranged from a gigantic march organized by a coalition
called Make Poverty History (the largest march in Scottish History) to
roaming blockades organized by the Dissent! Network, a network of
international anti-authoritarian groups.

US activists who went to join in with international activists will
discuss the successes and failures of the protests. There will also be
a discussion of if similar tactics should or should not be employed at
demonstrations in the United States. Following the screening and
discussion, there will be an update on plans that are developing for the
upcoming September 24th protest in Washington, DC.
