Last Friday, the 11th of July, anarchists and anti-authoritarians from the around the Pacific Northwest met in beautiful Tacoma, Washington with the goal of adopting one of the 7 sectors of St. Paul, Minnesota, utilizing the handy map proposed by the RNC-Welcoming Committee and many others at the pReNC 5.3.

A GREY COAST CLUSTER ADOPTS SECTOR 6

The Pacific Northwest has a rich history of intense and well-organized blockades, having often witnessed various types of road and bridge stoppages during numerous forest defense actions, and more spectacularly, intersection lockdowns during the 1999 WTO conference in Seattle. In the southern Puget Sound area especially, calls to resist critical military infrastructure have prompted the mobilization of anarchists and others to blockade commercial ports, often using “hard” or material barricades, during three military shipments over the last two years.


FROM THIS MOMENT DESPAIR ENDS...

Keeping some of our collective strengths in mind, a Grey Coast Cluster has formed to adopt Sector 6 in St. Paul, an area marked by six bridges and at least three critical intersections.

Our main goal for Day One of the RNC is to establish and hold blockades at crucial points throughout the sector, hopefully contributing to a total disruption of the political spectacle being planned for the city of St. Paul on the first day of September.
