A critical analysis of the first day of the RNC protests

police-blockade-rnc.jpg
Street blockades are a common form of nonviolent protest in Europe and Latin America, and over a dozen members of the University of Iowa Anti-war Committee traveled to St. Paul MN on September 1 to implement the tactic during a peace march on the first day of the Republican National Convention.

The results were mixed, at best.

Twenty-two members of UIAC car-pooled together up to St. Paul, and fifteen joined the Campus Antiwar Network’s unpermitted “Mobile Blockade Brigade”.    The Campus Antiwar Network, along with other groups totaling between 800 and 1500 people, attempted to shut down the RNC by blockading interstates, on/off ramps, bridges, and other key intersections to prevent Republican delegates from entering the Xcel Center.  Our action was not a suppression of free speech, but an exercise in it.  We were forced to listen to the Republicans for the last eight years, now it was time to force them to listen to us.

CAN Goes to the RNC!!!

Campus Antiwar Network is calling for a student and youth bloc in sector 6 of the RNC Welcoming Committee’s map(https://lists.riseup.net/www/d_read/rnc08/WCSite/sectormap.jpg.) The Republicans are laying all the conditions for the destruction of our future, so the least we can do is fuck up their convention. One of the first things many delegates are going to see en route to the Excel Center is the power of young people resisting empire. We refuse to be cannon fodder for the wars of the rich and to sit idly by while tuition increases and job prospects for college and high school graduates continue to decline. By interfering with the continuation of business as usual, we are fighting for all of our brothers and sisters struggling to pay off their student loans, holding down multiple jobs in this declining economy, or off on the other side of the earth trying to pay for college by oppressing other peoples. We are also protesting their attacks on immigrants and people of color. We are demanding an end to the militarization of our schools. We are taking back our communities. END US EMPIRE!–CAMPUS ANTIWAR NETWORK
