[Imc-g8-2005] indymedia volunteer requested for international networking meeting 20/21st of may Thessaloniki

[Anarcho Babe]

Indymedia got invited to the International Networking Meeting taking place 
from 20-22nd of may in Thessaloniki, Greece, to talk about Indymedia at the 
G8 2005 protests.
It would be brilliant if somebody could go there.
I would like to, but too much stuff piled on to me, which probably has 
priority, and it is getting more an more hectic.

Is anybody able to take this on?

cheers Ulla

> Accommodation
> The space where we can hold the events is the theology

> Thessaloniki, the same place that we squatted in order
> to accommodate the mobilizations against the EU
> summit, June 2003 (you can see some photos of the
> building here:

> The days we propose are the 20-21-22 of May. The
> building will be taken on the morning of Friday
> (20/05) and if people come earlier they can sleep in
> houses. We are thinking to leave the building on the
> Sunday (22/05) night or Monday (23/05) morning. In the
> extreme case that too many people come earlier or if
> too many people have to leave later (and we
> won’t be able to have a bed, or a floor J, for
> everyone), then we will attempt to take it over
> earlier or keep it for longer.
> We would like to know, preferably until the 1st of
> May, how many people (and from which groups) are
> coming in order to prepare the accommodation needs
> (send your emails at ita_gr at yahoo.co.uk).

> bloc (Bulgaria)
> 21:00-22:00 – Dinner
> 23:00 – Farewell party
> ==================================
> Just to mention here that we propose a discussion
> about the NO BORDER CAMP, which is attempted to be
> organized somewhere near the triple-borders this
> summer, because even if it might sound not relevant
> for some people with the G8, it is directly connected
> to the international struggle against the capitalist
> system and the global bosses. Furthermore, it is a
> matter of coordination as well, as it is an
> international event and it might take place the same
> summer with the anti-G8 mobilisations in Scotland, do
> we would like to discuss when it would best fit the
> people to happen.
> We have to explain briefly for the time being, that
> the bulgarian-turkish-greek triple-border is one of
> the most strategic land points, if not the most
> strategic one right now, for the EU bosses who take
> part in the G8 summit. And finally it is a deadly
> point! “Deadly” for our dignity, because
> as all borders it is another authoritarian mechanism
> that represses humanity … but deadly in reality
> for the immigrants and refugees who try to pass it and
> are murdered in cold blood! Murdered in deed, as on
> the greek-turkish borderline there are mines, trenches
> and armed forces (not just border police). Just a few
> days ago two more immigrants where killed by mines and
> one seriously injured… and this happens all the
> time there.
> ==================================
> Please, make any suggestions, objections or additions
> to the proposal.
