Trapese

DISSENT G8! Newsletter 3 - Winter 05

The Trapese roadshow has done over 50 events around the country since September, "informing and mobilizing around the issues behind the G8." The majority have been workshops introducting the G8 and how it came to exist as such a powerful institution. We also look at the issues that will be making the headlines, (debt/Africa and climate change) and discuss people's views on these topics, as well as looking at the plans for the mobilisation this summer and brainstorming ideas for actions. One of the most positive things that has come out has been bringing people together who want to be active against the G8. We are planning to do a tour during the spring if there is demand for it, widening the cross-section of people who come to our talks. We are looking for local groups/individuals to publicise events, and inviting other groups along (anti war groups, local FOE etc.) We will put on an evening performance with the Schnews crew, "Have I got Schnews for you" style. Let us know if there is a theatre, independent cinema or festival local to you where we could do workshops, trainings or benefits. If you came to an event and you have constuctive criticisms/ideas please let us know. All our resources are available on our new website www.trapese.org, check it out. So its really easy -why not get out there a do a g8 workshop yourself?
