"MARCH 28/09 // 
MILITANT WORKERS: DIRECT ACTION BLOC
'Put People First' Anti-G20 demonstration, 11am Central London


As
the financial crisis has spurred a global economic recession the
reality of the situation is being faced by us all – price hikes and
wage cuts, job losses, spiralling debt and repossessions. The
institutions of government and global finance are making us pay for
their mistakes, giving themselves hefty bonuses for the privilege. As
big banks get billions of our money to bail them out, the Post Office
is threatened with privatisation and mass redundancies to claw back the
pension hole! Government and bosses, while protecting their own
interests, are steadily losing their grip as the anger of the working
class becomes more and more apparent after a decade of enforced 'social
peace'.
 
Putting working class anger first
The recent
wildcat strikes at the Lindsay Oil Refinery saw workers take action for
themselves, without union backing. Thousands of workers across the
country walked out in sympathy strikes – a practice still outlawed
under the Thatcherite anti-trade union laws. No repercussions were
suffered by the workers - a lesson to us all.  And although we oppose
such slogans as “British Jobs for British Workers”, we do not dismiss
the experiences, anger and positive action of those workers to develop
a pro-working class position, based not on capitalism's demands for
inter-worker competition, but on international class solidarity.
If we want social change we must fight without prejudice for it.
 
Solidarity is not a word but a weapon

Our
purpose is to put direct action at the core of any fightback - against
the repossessions and redundancies that we will face over the coming
months and years, to restate our commitment for an international unity
amongst all working class people regardless of nationality, race,
sexuality or religion. We stand shoulder to shoulder with all those who
take direct action against their current situation (against the state
and its institutions, against the bosses and the capitalism they cling
to), and confront those who seek to hinder or recuperate that action -
fascist parties like the BNP, government forces, the trade union elite
and the corporate media. The memory of the miners strike, Wapping, Poll
tax lingers long and hard.
2009 is our summer of rage - we are only as strong as the power we give ourselves.



Join
the direct action bloc on the Put People First mass demonstration on
Saturday March 28th. Meet in Victoria Embankment Gardens, 11am. Look
for the red and black flags.
 


APRIL 1/09 // RECLAIM THE MONEY
Meet in the Square Mile (London's Financial centre) to take back what's ours


World
leaders, including Barak Obama, are set to meet at Docklands Excel
Centre in London's East End, for the G20 financial summit on April 2nd,
to sort out the global crisis they themselves conspired to create.
While unemployment escalates along with debt and poverty - we are told
to tighten our belts, not to complain, to have faith in bankers, bosses
and politicians, these leaders are preparing the biggest shake up in
the history of capitalism since the 1930s. We can only imagine what is
on offer as their solution - from the people that brought us wars in
Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine, from the heads of economies that
continue to concentrate the world's wealth in the hands of a tiny
minority from the obscene rich and powerful who continue to steal the
products of our labour and time, forcing us to fight amongst ourselves
for what's left.

We are living in uncertain, dangerous times, where we
can either allow our futures, and the future of our children, to be
decided by the same class of people that have brought us into this
crisis (and continue to profit from our misery) or we can decide to get
rid of the lot of them and organise society differently - for our own
benefit and of the benefit of those around us; those we work with,
those we live with, for a future based on our collective needs. 



We are their crisis
Let's
make this a chance for a fundamental change in society. Let's reclaim
the history of working class struggle for a new free world, for a
global human community fit for all, not the undeserving rich elite who
are happy to see our lives ruined if it means that they stay in charge
and at the top.

Join thousands of disgruntled, angry, pissed off
people on the streets of the financial district. As the bankers
continue to cream off billions of pounds of our money let's put the
call out – RECLAIM THE MONEY, storm the banks and send them packing.
April 1st in the square mile, City of London financial district
