<h2><strong>ADBUSTERS TACTICAL BRIEFING #25</strong></h2>
<p>Hey you redeemers, rebels and radicals out there,</p>
<p>Against the backdrop of a global uprising that is simmering in
dozens of countries and thousands of cities and towns, the G8
and NATO will hold a rare simultaneous summit in Chicago this
May. The world’s military and political elites, heads of state,
7,500 officials from 80 nations, and more than 2,500 journalists
will be there.</p>
<p>And so will we.</p>
<p>On May 1, 50,000 people from all over the world will flock to
Chicago, set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and
#OCCUPYCHICAGO for a month. With a bit of luck, we’ll pull off
the biggest multinational occupation of a summit meeting the
world has ever seen.</p>
<p>And this time around we’re not going to put up with the kind of
police repression that happened during the Democratic National
Convention protests in Chicago, 1968 … nor will we abide by any
phony restrictions the City of Chicago may want to impose on our
first amendment rights. We’ll go there with our heads held high
and assemble for a month-long people’s summit … we’ll march and
chant and sing and shout and exercise our right to tell our
elected representatives what we want … the constitution will be
our guide.</p>
<p>And when the G8 and NATO meet behind closed doors on May 19,
we’ll be ready with our demands: a Robin Hood Tax … a ban on
high frequency ‘flash’ trading … a binding climate change accord
… a three strikes and you’re out law for corporate criminals …
an all out initiative for a nuclear-free Middle East … whatever
we decide in our general assemblies and in our global internet
brainstorm – we the people will set the agenda for the next few
years and demand our leaders carry it out.</p>
<p>And if they don’t listen … if they ignore us and put our
demands on the back burner like they’ve done so many times
before … then, with Gandhian ferocity, we’ll flashmob the
streets, shut down stock exchanges, campuses, corporate
headquarters and cities across the globe … we’ll make the price
of doing business as usual too much to bear.</p>
<p>Jammers, pack your tents, muster up your courage and prepare
for a big bang in Chicago this Spring. If we don’t stand up now
and fight now for a different kind of future we may not have
much of a future … so let’s live without dead time for a month
in May and see what happens …</p>
<p>for the wild,<br>
