Visual Resistance

The 2008 RNC Welcoming Committee has put out a call inviting anarchists, anti-authoritarians, radical artists, and activists from all over the country to converge on the Twin Cites this fall- August 31st through September 3rd. This Pre-RNC convergence will give activists a chance to get to know the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, and give them the opportunity to begin some serious planning to confront the RNC in 2008.

Questions to be asked and answered include:

What do you want to see happen in 2008?
How do you think we can get there?
What resources do you have to contribute?
What will you need?

The Pre-RNC weekend will kick off with Critical Mass on Friday August 31st, and continues for the next three days with tours, workshops, skillshares, games, strategizing sessions and L(A)bor Day activities. There’ll be a lot to do- everything from brunch to street medic training to capture the flag- the activities are intend to be as diverse and accessible as possible.

The organizing committee has also made a specific call for volunteers: they are looking for people to run skillshares and workshops of all sorts- if you have skills, knowledge or experience that you want to impart, you are encouraged to let them know.
