Summit Hopping - Europe, Summer 2001

Planning on being on the european continent this summer? Interested in particpating in mass actions? Reflecting about what mass actions mean to you and your community? A new site is up called 'Summit Hopping - Europe, Summer 2000'. And in the world of consumer based activism it is being targeted directly at you...the one who has access to email to read this and potentially come to all these demos. The site also includes recomended reading, essays, thoughts, and discussinons on the role of 'summit hopping', links to news and events resources, and community building resources.

check it out, spread this around, link to it on your web sites, and send me some feedback if you have it.

While summit hopping is definately a reality based
on privilge it is a growing trend that is strengthening the resistance
against capitalist globalization. As long as our organizing is not
primarily focused on these symbolic meetings, and we continue to
meet and discuss these things, there can be some real benefits to
organinzing around massive days of action

This page is intended to help folks who are planning to be on the
european continent this summer get hooked up with the anti-capitalist
struggles going on here. Don't come to these places just to be there
for the actions, but if you're taking a break from your own communities,
might as well make these actions part of your vacation. Good luck.
