date: Fri, 16 Feb 2001 16:57:07 +0000 from: Noam Bergman subject: [norwichgreenparty] Genoa to: g , ngp The next BIG anti-globalisation activity will be in Genoa, protesting at the G8 conference in Genoa, July 20-22. UK activists are hoping to get 40,000 people from the UK to Italy for it. Locally, UEA activist are planning to get a large number of people from Norwich going, hopefully hiring a few coaches for the trip. Some people may prefer looking for Easyjet / Go / Ryanair flights to Italy. We had a first meeting on Wednesday. We decided that despite it being in the summer, ie not term time and students away, it would be worth getting people together and advertising. Students may choose to come back to Norwich and join the coach, or come from their homes. Also, we want to include as many campaigning groups as possible in this, and obviously, this isn't just about students. We're going to have another meeting for anyone who wants to get active on Wednesday, February 28, at UEA union house, room 1.33 (upstairs). Also, we hope to launch it with a big event during environment week on campus, sometime in the week of March 19-23. If anyone wants to be involved, or link us with other groups PLEASE come along! Especially good if you have organisational skills and will be around in July... Cheers, Noam. --------------------------------------------------- Mercy! It's the revolution, and me in my bathrobe!
