November 9th through the 11th, Milwaukee hosted the Midwest Anti-RNC
Planning consulta. During the Sunday break-out strategizing session, a
group met to discuss the possibilities of militant Trans and Queer
action against Republican National Convention in 2008.
Those involved in the discussion, expressed their desire for a Trans
and Queer bloc to play an integral and aggressive role in the strategy
to shut down the RNC. It was proposed that such a bloc could hold one
of the key intersections surrounding the convention center or could
crash the parties of especially grievous religious fundamentalists.
The strategy of creating 15-20 blockades in downtown St. Paul on the
first day of the convention is one that allows almost infinite
possibilities. Behind the barricades, we will have the opportunity to
create the world we wish to see; a world without restraint.
To pursue the goal of gender-fucking the RNC, it has also been
proposed that a convergence should take place in Chicago the weekend
of April 5th. Radical Queers, Transfolk, Anarcha-feminists, and allies
are invited to come to Chicago to ensure the end of the old world, and
the beginning of ours. More information will be announced when the
details of this convergence have been worked-out. We are looking
forward to seeing all of you in Chicago in April, and the Twin Cities
in September.
For the liberation of desire and for dance parties amidst the ruins.
