The recent G20 protests in Melbourne saw a new and exciting level of autonomous actions and disobedience. These actions opened up a space for continuing political discussion.
We want the discussion to move beyond simple condemnation or defense of particular tactics. We hope to have an informed discussion on which aspects of the protest were successful, which weren’t, and what we can learn.
We want to talk practically about what happened, but we understand that many people involved are sensibly cautious about protecting themselves. So we encourage people who were involved to send reflections on their experience anonymously to http://arushandapush.blogspot.com, by emailing afterg20@gmail.com. Selections from these will be read at the meeting.
a rush and a push
-
This is a forum to expand on and explore ideas that have come out of A Space Outside and the protests and experiments of the G20 weekend.
What went on in Melbourne was inspiring, exciting, confusing and scary. There was a space opened up in the discussions and protest actions, and we want to keep it open.
It can be hard to make sense of what we did, saw and felt when faced with disorienting reflections of our actions from the corporate media and others seeking to present segments of the protest as either heroes or villains. There is not just one version of what happened: sharing our stories is important
We are hoping to publish a zine of experiences and reflections. In the meantime please email your tales to afterg20 at gmail dot com to be published here.
