A-Infos (en) US, Denver, CO. Unconventional Action: Strategize for the DNC! Consulta in the Rockies October 5th

Since the original Unconventional Action call out the talks have begun. Not even 
a year away from the Conventions and anarchists and other anti-authoritarians 
have been coming together to discuss the role the upcoming conventions serve for 
movements against oppression and injustice. From North Carolina, to Kansas and 
Minneapolis come Labor Day the consulta model is moving westward to Denver. 
Building off a national mobilization to stop the Columbus Day parade's 
celebration of racism and genocide on its 100th anniversary through the largest 
act of civil disobedience in Colorado history, Unconventional Denver will be 
hosting a consulta to move the convention talks forward in October. Denver has 
been the battleground for the struggle against the rewriting of history and one 
of the most blatant demonstrations of white supremacy and bigotry known to the 
United States. In 1907, Colorado became the first state to celebrate Columbus 
Day as a state holiday. On its 100th anniversary the Colorado American Indian 
Movement and its allies are calling on people from across the globe to descend 
on Denver to make history and end the celebration of genocide where it began.

 On October 5th, and possibly the 7th (depending on the aftermath of the 
protests) we will be using the unique opportunity of having so many of us out in 
force in Denver to take some time to talk about the conventions. This consulta 
will be an important one where we will be collecting all proposals, amendments 
and counter-proposals regarding strategy at the DNC and agree upon an overall 
strategy that anarchists and fellow anti-authoritarians can choose to plug into. 
We encourage all interested radicals to hold discussions in your communities 
about what you'd like to see in Denver, post them for the rest of us to see and 
also try attending the pRe-NC which will be holding discussions around the RNC 
as well as the DNC in Denver.

 People who are planning to arrive on Friday should try to get there as early 
as possible so they may be able to participate in the consulta. As things 
develop we will provide more details on the time and place of the meeting. We 
recognize that people will both be arriving at all times of the evening and 
night as well as the fact that people will have varying needs in terms of the 
timing of the event. In order to accomodate as many people as possible we 
strongly encourage people to contact us ahead of time letting us know how many 
plan on attending, an estimated arrival time and any additional services we can 
provide (whisper translation, childcare, visual aides, etc.) to ensure people 
can participate to the fullest.

 Love and Solidarity,
