Background: Summary
W.O.M.B.L.E.S: White Overalls Movement
Building Libertarian Effective Struggles
In spite of the indisputable vitality and veracity of anti-capitalist ideas, and the innumerable sacrifices and tireless devotion of diverse militants, on Mayday 2000 the cops gave us a good kicking.
Since the liberation of humanity and creation of global freedom and equality is not to be stopped by a few thugs with big sticks, it is time to provide self-protection from the depredations of the constabulary.
A large white overall group, padded, helmeted, with breathing protection acting together in a non-hierarchical but self-disciplined way can achieve the following aims:
- to facilitate free movement and communication during protests
- to stop attacks on demonstrators such as baton charges, horse charges, CS gas and sprays
- be living examples of our libertarian solidarity, organisation and humour
- to promote mutual respect and protection among demonstrators
Introduction to the WOMBLES >>>
The white overall movement has no leadership; everyone involved participates equally in its organisation and actions. Open meetings are held to discuss the ideas, possible tactics and decision-making.
