On June 8, we will be having a solidarity Critical Mass bike ride to coincide with the International Day Of Action against Climate Change called for on the last day of the G8 summit in Germany. Meet at 5:30 pm at the fountain in Loring Park. Ride against Climate Change and show support for our friends that are there. We will visit a Climate Criminal, so bring banners, noisemakers, and fun costumes!

On May 12th and 13th, a faction of Unconventional Action hosted a carolinas consulta in Chapel Hill, NC, as a way for anarchists and anti-authoritarians from across the carolinas to develop strategies for resistance against the Democratic and Republican National Conventions in 2008. Here we present the results of those discussions.

Please join us for a gathering of those who have already started organizing to resist the RNC in 2008 and those looking for a place to
start. This will be a space for people to come together and share ideas
and energy

The May Day Parade in Minneapolis is one of my favorite events in the Twin Cities. The parade is held on the first Sunday in May, which usually doesn’t fall on May Day.  This parade, which welcomes the arrival of Spring after a cold winter (yes, all of the winters are cold in Minnesota), has two parts. The first part is dedicated to a theme, and this year's theme was water. I posted a photo-essay diary on this topic a few days ago. The second part of the parade is known as the free-speech zone. This posting is dedicated to free speech zone and my friends who marched in it.
