A-Infos (en) Britain, London, G20, Militant Workers Bloc - Report and Feedback

Estimates of between 700 - 1,000 people marched in solidarity with the Militant Workers 
Bloc, on the Put People First demonstration, which consisted of a large presence of 
anarchists from London and across the UK. The bloc was called by London Anarchists and 
endorsed by the IWW, Anarchist Federation, No Borders London, Antifa England, Liberty & 
Solidarity and from local anarchists groups in london including Whitechapel Anarchist 
Group, Camden Anarchists, Walthamstow and Croydon Anarchists. Many more groups also 
supported the bloc with banners from Solidarity Federation and Goldsmiths Uni Anarchist 
group - Autonomy & Solidarity. ---- The Bloc finished with an Anarchist rally at speakers 
corner ---- In the last year the organisational capibilities and long term strategy of 
anarchists in London has developed, and though still extremely limited there are many new 
fronts which are pushing ahead - from the opening up of the new Freedom Bookshop, to the 
formation of local anarchist and libertarian groups, a monthly social in the form of the 
Red & Black Club, to the consistency of working collaboratively between all anarchists in 
London. March 28th and the militant workers bloc didn't come out from nowhere - it was a 
reflection of a year of soul-searching and re-thinking of what the hell we are doing.

This process continues now and whatever happens on April 1st/2nd in London is largely 
irrevelant. As we move closer to the what is intended to be the first of an annual series 
of Movement conferences (June 6/7 at Queen Mary University - www.conference09.org.uk) - 
there is a real opportunity to break out much wider than we have ever done before to a 
larger audience of people.

This has ONLY be achievable due to a common aspiration by many different anachists to move 
forward with our politics and ultimately to become a viable and visible movement that we 
can be proud of associating ourselves with. There are still huge problems that need to be 
worked out but hopefully we have inspired enough people with whats possible and have set a 
benchmark with future initatives.
