Get to the g8 protests in Evian, it is going to be huge!!! Mobilisations
will be incredible from Italy (where there was 1 million for the May 1st
protest against the war), Spain and France.

There has been alot of celebration by the US administration and in the
media over their 'victory' in Iraq. That war was fought for oil and we
can see this now with the US control of the oil fields. The
international movement that opposed that war will be joining the
anti-capitalist globalisation movement in Evian at the end of this month
to show that far from having disappeared we are stronger and more
determined to fight for a better world.
