SUBVERT 2008 Festival: East Bristol 24th to 26th October

A weekend Festival of Resistance drawing together the themes or anti-prison campaigning & prisoner support, and organising against border controls and the demonisation of migrants. You don’t need to be a genius, nor an anarchist, to see the links between the two, as the number of prisoners and detained migrants rockets, as state surveillance reaches new levels of intrusiveness, all against a backdrop of global financial crisis and the start of a major economic depression. The state is clamping down on dissent, preparing for social unrest, and as usual scapegoating the most vulnerable sections of society. This weekend of events will look at alternatives to the current failing economic & social policies, and highlight examples of resistance. Friday 24 October, 7pm – Why prisons don’t make our communities safer & Saturday 25 October, 11am to 2pm – Bristol ABC host a vegan café & Saturday 25 October, 6pm to midnight – Subvert 2008 Benefit gig.
