MAKING RESISTANCE VISIBLE

On Feb. 8th after the sun goes down a new city will arise in the night.

Will you join us?

As the United States wages a campaign of war and terror against

Afghanistan and elsewhere and targets civil liberties here at home, the

corporate controlled media would have us believe that all is fine within

the walls of this country. Catch phrases such as \"America United\" flash

from our TV screens as we are assulted with image upon image of flag

waving patriots and vengeful politicians. The powers of babylon would

have us believe that America is entirely devoid of any opposition to

these atrocities. Yet, as we all must know - opposition is everywhere.

We are disgusted by the landscape that surrounds us. It is time

transform this city, to transform this world. Since we live here,

Washington DC must be our starting point. It is time for a concentrated

effort to make our opposition and resistance visible. Imagine if you

walked outside one day, and instead of seeing images of blind

patriotism, war and greed you were met with images of a beautiful and

creative resistance. Images of hope and our dreams for a better world.

The seeds for a new world will be planted when we dig out the roots of

the current one. We are calling for a worldwide effort to make this

vision a reality. These acts will be in solidarity with the people

rising up in Argentina and the thousands confronting the WEF coke party

in NYC.

Everywhere we look is a potential canvas. Every bridge and overpass are

just waiting for a banner to drop. Every lamp post is just waiting for

wheatpaste and posters, or even to come down and block the road to

demand the people stop, wake up and rise up. It is time to make it

happen.

During the week of February 8-16 we are calling on people everywhere to

began to saturate our cities and towns with evidence of our resistance

and continue these actions long after the 16. Just as unlearning the

lies of America is a lifelong process so is the resistance to those

lies. Though the visual and physical transformation of our cities may

start on the 8th in a concentrated way it can not end till the social

make up is transformed as well. But by coming together in a concentrated

effort we can make it that much harder to wash away our art, to take

down our banners, to tear up our flyers, and to rebuild the pieces of

institutions that have broke so many hearts and dreams themselves.

In the coming months, Washington DC will be alive with our messages of

resistance. Join us everywhere in a collective escalation of opposition

to capitalism, war and domination of any kind, and don't stop untill the

whole bloody system is on it's knees!

Create alternatives. Destroy capitalism.

Don't get caught and never let anyone tell you the fight isn't worth it.

DO NOT TALK ABOUT PEACE UNTIL WE ARE FREE FROM THIS ECONOMIC SYSTEM THAT

CREATES AND DEPENDS ON HOMELESSNESS, POVERTY, PRISONS, BORDERS, SLAVES,

ECOLOGICAL AND POLITICAL IMPERIALISM, AND MURDER. DO NOT TALK ABOUT

PEACE UNTIL WE ARE FREE FROM THIS ECONOMIC SYSTEM THAT ENCOURAGES

SEXISM, RACISM, HOMOPHOBIA, ANOREXIA, AND RAPE. DO NOT TALK ABOUT PEACE

UNTILWORLDWIDE CAPITALISM, GOVERNMENT, AND HIERARCHY ARE DESTROYED. DO

NOT TALK ABOUT PEACE UNTILL YOU ARE READY TO BRING THE WAR HOME!

What can you do? Tell your best friends. Get them together and make

plans in secret. Not in your house, not in your car, not on the internet

and not on the phone. Tell no one of your plans except those you wish to

act with. Walk around the city, and think about what angers you, what

would you tear down? What would you put up? What do you want people to

see on their way to work? While they are thinking about this world and

the city they live in? What do

you want them to know? To learn more about? About Capitalism? About the

intentional communites we could be building instead? About the suffering

people being devastated by the US in Afghanistan? About our civil

liberties being trampled and ripped away from us? About liberation?
