 Anti Capitalist BUSH Monster to be built for Mayday NCAD Thomas Street, 7pm, Friday 22nd March Globalise Resistance heads will be building a huge Bush Monster for three upcoming events- the national Anti War demo on April 27th, the Trade Union march on May 1st and the Reclaim the Streets Party on the May 6th Bank Holiday. The Bush Monster will have two claws- the invisible hand of the market pulled by sweatshop slaves and workers in chains, and the iron fist of the military pulled by orange boiler suited, sensory deprived prisoners, Palestinians and the war dead. These packhorses will be supervised by the military wing of the United Corporations of America, who will carry the flag of the multinationals either side. The aim is to link the war and imperialism with exploitation and capitalism. We're trying to make a big puppet or float, with two huge arms, hands or claws - IRON FIST AND INVISIBLE HAND. We'll need loads of help to get them built! We'll also need chains, the iron ones preferably, as well as costumes for the military, the Camp X Ray prisoners, the (corporate) branded sweatshop slaves etc etc etc. This Friday in NCAD at 7pm, we'll be kicking off, What do the rest of ye Indymedia heads reckon? Anyone any other ideas? How big can we make the Monster? Do we need wheels?!! RSVP

Jump To Comment: 1 2Looks like there's gonna be a lot of really good things happening in this Town over the next couple of months! Certainly the national Anti War demo on April 27th, the Trade Union march on May 1st and the Reclaim the Streets Party on the May 6th Bank Holiday look as though they're gonna be really good! There is a real buzz in the air! I'm especially looking forward to the Reclaim the Streets Party on the May 6th Bank Holiday as I've never been at one before. Also with whats happened with Mick O'Reilly and Eugene McGlone in the ATGWU there's a great potential for a Very Militant Display of Action by disaffected Trade Unionists at the Trade Union March on May 1st. Unfortunately Friday's are lously days for me for doin anything. Saturday afternoons would be much better!
