Number
Of Protesters At GOP Convention 'Could Reach One Million'
When the Republican National Convention comes to town, the Rev. Peter Laarman
hopes to greet it with a quiet, reserved defiance. He wants religious leaders
to hold discussion groups on concerns about politicizing Sept. 11. He wants
to have seminars to discuss lost jobs. And he wants to bring experts to New
York to discuss national security.
Is
There A Legal Age for Political Dissent? Teens at Protests!
Teens and Protests. It is a touchy subject. Responsible sex education for teens
is often painted by Republicans as “irresponsible promotion of premarital sex.” And
I could see basic nonviolent protest training for teens having a “terrorist
training” spin put on them, by America’s crazed Homeland Security Department.
Just as it is cutting-edge work to get safer sex information out to teens,
it is also controversial to train teens in nonviolent protest tactics, in direct
action protocol, in street medicine, etc. What responsibility do adults in
the activist community have to our activist teens, whose views may differ from
their parents’?
Street
Medicine - Kirsten Anderberg
First Aid is about what to do *first* in a medical emergency. Street First
Aid incorporates basic first aid, but then expands it to include chemical weaponry
aftercare and treatments for likely injuries at mass demonstrations. Street
medicine information is so sorely needed that the Black Cross Collective decided
to conduct its own research. Brave Portland activists actually volunteered
to be pepper sprayed onto their skin and into their eyes in the name of science...
San
Francisco: The tactics that worked
Protesters roam in small, swift groups to stall city traffic Joe Garofoli and
Jim Herron Zamora, Chronicle Staff Writers Friday, March 21, 2003 San Francisco
-- It took three hours for anti-war activists to cripple downtown San Francisco
using hit-and-run civil disobedience tactics to an extent never before seen
in the Bay Area.
Fight
the Man and Get Away Safely
The intention of this guide is not to show you how to incite or conduct a riot.
It does not promote violence or try to make moral judgments on the efficacy
of certain tactics over others. Nor does it want to dwell on the various definitions
of ‘violence’ and non-violence’ and partake in those arguments which plague
and hinder the activist community. It is merely a compilation of suggestions
on how to safely survive situations created by police violence and confrontation,
once such a situation has occurred. Trainings which consider throwing and running
as acts of violence and advise you against those actions have not prepared
us for police overreaction of recent protests. This guide tries to fill in,
where typical non-violence trainings may leave out, practical advice on how
to get out of such situations without going to jail or the hospital, and without
compromising your body or your voice.
