2 pm, Central Bank, move to Grafton Street.

come out and protest against the increasingly consumerist society

central bank, 2pm is the meet up point. the hope is to head up GRafton street and disrupt shopping, if even just for a few minutes. Make people stop and think about their actions. Anyone with information leaflets about sweatshops, neo-liberalism, alternatives, please bring them along and hand them out to shoppers. Tomorrow is an attempt to inform people who are blindly shopping their lives away in a search for happiness and an attempt to win their hearts and minds and maybe set them on the path to questioning the corporate influence that is all pervasive in our lives.

It should be a bit of a carnival atmosphere. Musicians, bring your music. Bring foghorns and whistles and noise and a smile and turn tomorrow from the usual high street display of banal shoppers and droned looks to a boulevard of fun. Stop shopping. Start living.

the poor have their own TV their own streets their own shops as too the rich.
Our global intelligence is perverted by keeping these socio-economic classes apart.
For a group of "poor people" to enter a "rich shop" together is subversive.

also we are programed to keep children from shops
they are seen only as an aid to certain sales (supermarkets) and as a hindrance in "high street" retailing.
Yet those who sweat to provide high street shops with rags are barely more than children.
