As part of a growing realisation that we are all fighting the same common enemy and in the spirit of global resistance that led to the recent J18th international day of action protest and carnival, Nottingham has launched it's own direct action network.
All individuals and groups in the Nottingham area working non-hierarchically for revolutionary social change are invited to meet.
The meeting will consist of announcements of upcoming events and actions, a brief update of campaigns in the area, a presentation and debate about the recent history and plans of Nottingham City Council, a discussion of a name for the forum and a social were people can develop ideas and plan joint events.
Anyone who wants to create a better world is welcome. The themes of the meeting will be communication and solidarity, not hammering out some “party line” or promoting any one group above others. Feel free to bring any leaflets and newsletters about your campaign or group, or forthcoming actions, events and demos.
The idea for this forum came together by groups that created links in the run up to J18 and reflects other direct action networks forming around the country, including Manchester's Riotous Assembly, Brighton's Rebel Alliance and The London Underground. In the mean time rack your brains for a locally appropriate name.
“WHAT CAN’T BE DONE ALONE, WE CAN DO TOGETHER”
