i live in a rural area so i cant really bike everywhere but if i lived in the city i def would

Do anti-black seminars count?

Haha, I live on Cape Cod, so its just a bunch of old rich people. Id probably have to drive an hour to go to any sort of protest, a d seeing as Im 14, I dont see that happening any time soon. But Id definatly go to any sort of anarchist/anti war meetings that popped up.

I had a mosh party thing in school. it was great i had like 30 kids moshing about, and when teachers came they tried to stop people but were to scared of getting hurt so they just said stop! then the bell rang to go to your class (we have a 10 min class switch), and we all just grabbed our bags and went to class teachers didnt do anything! it was grewat were gonna do it again on the last day of school.

also on the last day of school we have 27 people ready to march into school wearing punk & goth style clothes and we have a american flag that we have spraypainted a anarchy logo on. and the princible said we could have an american flag on a pole brought in to the school.

well thats it sorry for the long post.

I did not have the chace to do lot of event like this because i'm 15 and the only place were these things happens in Quebec is montreal and i'm about 1 hour far from montreal by car. But i had the chance to go to the manifestation about the money that the governement did not spend on scholarship but nothing really happened, we just walked like 2 hours and thats all.

I was in Dissent's G8 protests, that was fun. I was in the protests in London about DSei, got arrested there, for being 'equipped with intent to cause criminal damage'! I had a permanent marker and some spray paint for God's sake! I was arrested under the Terrorism Act. Apparantly a permanent marker is a 'tool of terrorism'. Are they going to arrest every person who has a pen because he might use it to sign for a delivery of dirty plutonium?!

To anyone protesting in Britain, if the police detain you (not arrest) and make you move from place to place and other stuff they shouldn't be able to do, if they say anything about Section 60 or Section 44, then yes, it's a bummer, but they can do all those things. It means they can blockade any road at any time for whatever reason, they can search people for weapons without suspicion, they can move whole groups of people as long as there are over twenty of them, they can confiscate anything that could be used to hide a person's identity, they can detain you for up to 6 hours, but if they don't tell you why by 20 minutes, that's 'against the rules'.

My Religion teacher went through the new terrorism laws today in class. Absolute bulls[SIZE="2"]h[/SIZE]it, next time I go out with fireworks on me I could end up in jail for two weeks without any reason. And if I try to run from the cops they can legally shoot me dead.

[QUOTE=asdf]On friday I went to a critical mass bike ride.[/QUOTE]

I've seen flyers around for that.

I bike as much as I can, purely because I flat out prefer to.

I believe Cambridge has a Critical Mass every Friday. We also had one for the DSEi protests, we held up loads of traffic and a bunch of cop-carriers.

I used to bike around loads, but there was too much maintenance to do as my bike kept falling apart, and it's not fun to run around the road every time there are no cars around in the pouring London acid rain trying to find the little hexagonal screw that keeps your pedal on your bike.

Does anyone know any protests/demonstrations coming up in England, or sites that list them?
And has anyone been to Rossport?

There was one in D.C. with Le Tigre, Bouncing Souls, Anti-Flag, and a buncha others i wanted to go to, but I couldn't... I had to go to some family thing instead.

Haven't been to a Protest or an event of the sort yet, but I want to go soon. They look very interesting, and from what i've researched online, i'd meet lots of interesting/like-minded people. It seems like a great medium to learn a lot. I was supposed to attend the annual Mumim Abu-Jamal rally in the city this past year, but went to a show instead, forgot which show.

Same with me, and same with my mom. My mom is 50 years old, doesn't have a license, and hasn't driven since the 70's.

This thread is so old.

Yeah, that was Operation Ceasefire hosted by Jello Biafra. That concert was actually very minor compared to the rest of the anti-war events on September 24th with over 300,000 people attending.

I also met Sam (Anti-Prefix) at the Green Festival that was held on the same day, same place.

i live in northen cali and live 45 minits away from even a movie theater so not much out here in the way of protests. i am planing on makeing my own biodiesel. my way of "sticking it to the man"

If my american geography is correct, it probably isn't, northern cali is the part with most of the redwoods isn't it? because if it is you're surrounded by small camps of Forest Defenders from Earth First! and Green Peace Action and Friend Of The Earth. They're full of conscientous punks and other activists (well duh).

I remember this thread.

I was supposed to go to a protest 2 weeks ago, but it rained like a b[COLOR="White"]it[/COLOR]ch. BUT, theres one coming up soon.

i went to soulfest a few weeks back, but you could hardly call that a protest. but i woudnt be suprised if there was many orgnizations around here, i just havent looked. im only 16 so my choices are limited by the parents.

No protests where i live, and i have to drive because im in a rural area. I would have gone to a anti-war protest in a city near me a couple years ago but i didnt have a ride.

Has anyone ever been to Burning Man Festival? I would love to go sometime. I think I'm going to the summer after I graduate high school if at all possible.

I saw a Malcolm in the Middle episode where they went to that and it looks like a big hippie partying fest

My local public transportation is on strike :upset:. It's going to suck getting to shows now

[QUOTE=ihatecelebrities]I saw a Malcolm in the Middle episode where they went to that and it looks like a big hippie partying fest[/QUOTE]

Yeah it also experiments with the concept of a gift economy. Little to no money is exchanged during the festival. There's also I lot of art displays which interest me. And when they torch the burning man sculpture, that must be something to behold.

JOIN THE PICKETS! FIGHT THE FATCATS! FASCIST PIGS, ON THE BEAT! FASCIST PIGS, IN THE STREETS!

I just came back from a Class War bonfire night party in Hackney. It was fun. Cool fireworks, a bonfire, general putting down of the police, burning effigies of Thatcher, Reagan, Blair and I made one of Sharon. Alcohol, ganja, you know how it goes. I got invited to a squat party in Manor House or Manor Park somewhere by a guy from Colorado.

I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it.

Its all a bit pagan though.

Why are you against picketing?

Did anyone go to the huge anti-war protest in Washington D.C.? I went, and it was a very emotional experience. It was cool to see all the Vietnam war veterans carrying the same flags they carried back then. Anyway, it was really awesome, and I was wondering if anyone else in the punk forum went.

Was that the World Can't Wait protest, or another one?

World Can't Wait was in SF (and across the country) last wednesday. 13 people got arrested, 2 for molotov cocktails, what morons.

I still don't get it...
Is picketing in the USA the same as it is in England?

hes AGAINST picketing, but he doesnt know how to show it (meaning he would be picketing AGAINST picketing to show it)

*rubs sweat off face* i hope that cleared it up for you, i said "picketing" to many times for one sentance.

The picketing joke was terrible, it made me unlaugh.

no it was very clever a well thought out joke. good work man really good work.

Today all the skateboaders in my town are going befroe the city council and requesting a skatepark because we're tired of being kicked out of everywhere. This is just the first in a series of meetings we will have and we are expecting a large turnout of folks.
