Hi!
Can you help me/us with The German G8 2007 Infotour plan to come to UK?

Sorry this is all planned so late, but we are still busy here in
Rostock, Germany, cleaning camps/convergence centres, dealing with local
nazi shit, helping activists in prison/jail/hospital, and finding ways
to get around and communicate after our bikes/computers were
borrowed/stolen/broken/and/or disappeared. Also, press has been quite
good here, recently reporting that the activists "won", and now doing a
report on victims of police violence during G8. So, we are also busy
doing both IMC and regular local/regional press work.

We would love to do a really nice German post-G8 2007 Infotour through
central UK, but really need your help to pull this together quickly. We
already have a cool presentation prepared for you all there in UK, with
pictures, some nice short films, and an explanation of how we organised
here in Germany well in advance for G8 2007. It would be great to show
you the presentation/films, then have a discussion to compare with 2005.

We will be taking all lessons learned to Japan for German G8 Infotour
there in the region this September to help them prepare for G8 2008. We
were at the Red Zone with some Japanese people just over a week ago, and
they are very interested in what we can share about European
experiences. We also hope to take lessons learned from G8 2003/5/6/7/8
to Italy for the 2009 G8, even though it has already been announced that
the Italian summit will be on a small island. Our infotour group has
travelled 2 times through Italy already.

About UK dates, it looks like we can go Manchester June 22-25, and to
Notts, Bradford and Leeds June 29-July 6(am only). There is so far no
reply yet from any emails sent to social centres or contacts these
cities. Can you please help Infotour?

love and revolution+

ps. Japan+Korea G8 2008 infotour is planned hopefully for Sept-October,
still looking for additional funding to travel to invited events in
Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia
