The Caravan reader is a very well put together document containing many reports and stories from groups that took part, about their struggle against "free trade" and how they are being affected by climate chaos already.

Well things have definately changed, despite from how disapointing things looked from outside, we, those there on the streets of copenhagen, have come even more energised and full of hope due to experiences in copenhagen. The highlight was the peoples assembly, a communication space based on hierarchial organisation, a model that can and already is being, replicated globally, as we built our movements of resistance and struggle.

For links to all that stuff:

Also there was an exciting declaration, the KLIMAFORUM DECLARATION, which has already been signed up to by the kilkenyy based transition group FUTURE PROOF - http://futureproofkilkenny.org/

KLIMAFORUM DECLARATION – System Change – Not Climate Change

The KLIMAFORUM DECLARATION was presented by Ms. Mathilde Kaalund-Jørgensen and Mr. Juan N. Rojas, as members from Civil Society’s Climate Forum Speaking on behalf of the Klimaforum09, in the Tycho Brahe Hall at the UNFCCC Plenary on the 18th of December 2009.

The declaration communicates the diversity of the wide range of grassroots movements that were present in Copenhagen and had been in communication for some time. Together through the declaration, global struggles for climate justice have made a list of very strong basic demands. It is very hearthening to see the wide range of groups from all around the planet that have signed up to support its demands, that group is presently over 500 and growing.

http://www.klimaforum09.org/Declaration

I am hunting around for more info about this at present, I leave you with the audios from the Peoples assembly

Be great to hear ideas from Ireland about how local assemblies are happening there, or might happen, and see if more groups are willing to sign up to the KLIMAFORUM DECLARATION.

From that, who knows, there is a call for peoples assembly to try to set up a legal framework to safeguard PACHAMAMA, mother earth, in Bolivia next april:

Democracy now headline -

Dozens Arrested in Climate Justice Actions Across Nation
http://www.democracynow.org/2009/12/1/headlines#6

Climate Justice actions were held across the nation and Canada Monday one week ahead of the start of the climate talks in Cophenhagen . In San Francisco, 23 people were arrested for blocking the entrances to Bank of America. In Chicago 12 people were arrested during a protest against carbon trading at the Chicago Climate Exchange. In Whitby, Ontario seven people were arrested for a sit-in at the office of Canada’s Finance Minister. Four people were arrested in Greenville, South Carolina after activists locked themselves to a 1.5 million pound generator destined for a coal plant run by Duke Energy. And in New York a protest was held outside the offices of the Natural Resource Defense Council. Protest organizers targeted the environmental group because of its support of a cap and trade system.NASA scientist James Hansen took part in the New York protest.

James Hansen: “The effect that humans are going to have on future climate and the future for our children and grandchildren is analogous to the situation that Lincoln faced with slavery or that Churchill faced with Nazism: it’s not a thing where you can compromise. You have to take the actions that are needed to solve the problem and that means we are going to have to phase out coal use unless the CO2 is captured and sequestered but there is no such thing as clean coal at this time and probably never will be.”

Breaking the Spell

BREAKING THE SPELL - An hour-long look at the 1999 Seattle WTO protests and the anarchists (particularly those from Eugene) who traveled there to set a new precedent for militant confrontation. Rather than attempting to cover every situation at the WTO, Breaking the Spell has covers a few scenes film in depth. It is filmed in the thick of the action, including footage that aired nationally on 60 Minutes, it captures a moment when world history was up for grabs. Rather than attempting to cover every situation at the WTO, Breaking the Spell has several moving montage sequences combined with a few scenes that cover one or two situations in depth. [63 min.]

Looking Back Five Years to the Battle of Seattle (Imc-santa cruz 204 report)
http://santacruz.indymedia.org/newswire/display/13076/i...x.php

At the WTO protests in Seattle, we had a collective vision. We saw beyond the borders that divide us. We saw people come together across every kind of political and cultural difference and stand up in a way that we had not seen in this country for decades. We saw peaceful protests shut down one of the most powerful institutions in the world and we saw a system dazed and frightened by the sound of our voices.

birthday salutations are starting to ripple around the IMC family network:

IMC-UK - November 30th: Happy Birthday Indymedia!!
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/11/442558.html?c=on...37979
(with a link back to this post)

Then years have passed since the first Indymedia site came to life in November 30th 1999. Media activists came together for the first time during the amazing anti-WTO summit protests that took place in Seattle (US), kick starting the emergence of a global 'movement of movements' that has spent this decade struggling against neoliberalism, war and environmental destruction.

But this has also been a Movement that has shown a capability for constructing collective processes for democratic and horizontal alternatives to Capitalism. Indymedia is a good example of such a living alternative. For ten years a global network of websites, collectives and individuals have been working together to maintain the IMC project alive and kicking. There are many examples of successes, as well as a few instances where both Indymedia sites and indiviuals have had to face repression and even death in the hands of state repression - Brad Will, presente! . But Indymedia has not gone away, not even for a minute during these long 10 years, and it is set to continue moving forward with new strategies and energy.

Happy Birthday Indymedia! .. and here is a toast for another 10 years of alternative communication and information!

IMC-London

Der er gået ti år, siden det første Indymedia-site opstod d. 30. november 1999. Medieaktivister mødtes for den første gang under de vilde anti-WTO-protester, der fandt sted i Seattle, USA, og kickstartede en global 'bevægelse af bevægelser', der har brugt et årti på at kæmpe mod neoliberalisme, krig og miljømæssig ødelæggelse.

Economic Crisis, Climate Crisis, Social Crisis: It’s Time to Change Course!
http://www.anti-omc2009.org/spip.php?article8

From 30th November through 2nd December, a WTO ministerial conference will be held in Geneva, a week before the climate summit in Copenhagen. Concerning both trade and the climate, policies that have been pursued in the past have failed catastrophically. Yet our leaders have not questioned them!

The WTO and “free” trade: two big failures

Thirty years of neoliberal globalisation policies and fifteen years of the WTO have done nothing but increase poverty in the South and inequality, unemployment and job instability in the North. In the end, these policies have plunged us into the worst capitalist crisis since 1929. The WTO promises to get us out of it… by beating the same drum: “liberalise” trade. This would benefit no one except transnational capital; it would impose fierce competition that would further accentuate pressure on jobs, working conditions, social security and public services.

Trade versus the environment

Those same policies have also had disastrous consequences on the climate. They have bankrupted millions of small farmers by promoting industrialised agriculture, even though the latter – highly dependent upon fossil fuels – is a major source of greenhouse gases. They have caused disastrous deforestation in the largest rainforests, the planet’s lungs and the habitat of indigenous communities. They have created a globalised production network with high energy-consuming means of transportation, simply in order to exploit labour to the highest degree. Unfortunately, in Copenhagen the players will be the same, and the same interests and false “market solutions” will be on the agenda, though their failure is patently obvious. Twelve years after Kyoto, the CO2 emissions of developed countries have risen to higher levels than ever before.

Tempted by the Titanic?

Neither the socioeconomic crisis nor the environmental crisis will be resolved by the same logic that created them. The current economic system has brought about poverty, inequalities and wars; it has thrust us into the worst crisis since World War II. Today we are confronted with the ever more pressing need to give up on the absurd idea of infinite growth on a finite planet. But our leaders, whether in thrall to the well-to-do or debilitated by tunnel vision, are not looking for a way out. For the sake of our children and grandchildren, the interests of society and the environment must trump blind profit. We can live well – and actually live better – if we do away with the unsustainable waste of a system in which the pursuit of profit forces us to either seek unlimited growth or go bust trying.

Hundreds of representatives of grassroots movements from all over the world will be in Geneva and then in Copenhagen to demand a radical change of direction. Let’s all meet in Geneva and…

Mobilise against the WTO, because building a better world is an urgent issue! Demonstration: Place Neuve, Saturday 28th November, 2p.m.

Other action will be taken during the summit.

From Seattle to Detroit: 10 Lessons for Movement Building on the 10th Anniversary of the WTO Shutdown
By Stephanie Guilloud

An article written for the Project South Fall Newsletter
http://www.projectsouth.org/

For five days in 1999, 80,000 people from Seattle and from all over the country stopped the World Trade Organization from meeting. Despite extreme police and state violence, students, organizers, workers, and community members participated in a public uprising using direct actions, marches, rallies, and mass convergences. Longshoremen shut down every port on the West Coast. Global actions of solidarity happened from India to Italy. Trade ministers, heads of state, and corporate hosts were forced to abandon their agenda and declare the Millenium Ministerial a complete failure. We said we would shut it down, and we did.

“The fact is that the Social Forum and Peoples Movement Assembly process actually started in Seattle. The Social Forum took off from the experience of the 'Battle of Seattle' when the Brazilian organizing committee formed in 2000 and held the first World Social Forum in 2001. Ten years later, we come back to where this started. What has been accomplished in the last 10 years? How have our social movements developed to build the power towards real social systemic change in the US? How do we map the new forces and what is the power of the social movement assembly?”
– Ruben Solis, Southwest Workers Union, participant in the Seattle shutdown, and one of the founders of the Grassroots Global Justice Alliance

As one of the founders and leaders of the Direct Action Network and a resident of Olympia, Washington, I offer personal and political reflections on the WTO shutdown as a major turning point in my life as an organizer and in our lives working to build movements in the US. As an organizer with the US Social Forum process and a co-lead to develop the People’s Movement Assembly, I carry these lessons with me on a daily basis. I offer these stories with humility and a sense of responsibility. When I refer to “we” in this brief article, I refer to my community of young people in their early twenties, living in Seattle, Olympia, Portland, and the Bay Area, who, with many others, mobilized, organized, and implemented the direct action strategies we had planned for months. ...

1)Know your history: Seattle was a turning point
2)Claim your victories and evaluate your mistakes.
3)Make your enemy known: Mass demonstrations are not spontaneous
4)They came out of the bars: Infrastructure and preparation allows for spontaneous action
5)Surprise only works once: Evolve our tactics and strategies
6)It’s not about a leader. It is about leadership.
7)Strategy, please: Action-hopping is not movement building
8)Leadership development, thank you.
9)Guilt slowed us down: Solidarity is action
10)Know your vision: Learn lessons in order to move forward.

The Seattle Times - Five days that jolted Seattle (
The city's WTO riots marked a turning point from a decade of expansive ideals to an era of just hoping we get by.
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2010379....html
article with embedded vids and many sub groupings

To police and other authorities watching us from near and far, Seattle virtually overnight became the "how-not-to" model for pulling off a world-class event.

I'm writing this the evening before the global day of climate action, on the 10th anniversary of the Seattle WTO uprisings. I was in Seattle when the mainstream considered us nuts to think corporate globalisation was a bad idea; that perspective is mainstream now; and I can see the world waking up and shifting its sense of what we need to do about climate change. A quick online search reveals quite a lot of people have been called "climate-change fanatics," mostly for believing the change is real and it requires some fairly profound responses. But the baseline of belief is shifting, thanks to the dedicated and unreasonable among us.

The Battle of Seattle 10 Years Later: Organizers Reflect on 1999 Shutdown of WTO Talks and the Birth of a Movement
http://www.democracynow.org/2009/11/30/the_battle_of_se...years

Ten years ago, on November 30, 1999, tens of thousands of people from across the country and the world shut down the World Trade Organization talks in Seattle. Police responded by firing teargas and rubber bullets. Hundreds were arrested. On this 10th anniversary, we speak with two organizers of the protests: David Solnit, co-author of “The Battle of the Story of the Battle of Seattle” and Ananda Tan, of the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives.

It’s been 10 years since the infamous Battle of Seattle. On November 30, 1999 tens of thousands of activists from across the country and around the world prevented delegates from attending the global trade talks by forming a human chain around the Seattle convention center and shutting down the city’s downtown. Police responded by firing teargas and rubber bullets into the mostly peaceful crowd. The protests resulted in 600 arrests and in the eventual collapse of the talks, as well as the resignation of Seattle’s police chief. It was a watershed moment for the movement against corporate globalization.

Today, on this 10th anniversary of the historic protests in Seattle we’re joined by three guests. Joining us on the telephone, Norm Stamper the former police chief of Seattle and author of “Breaking Rank: A Top Cop’s Exposé of the Dark Side of American Policing”.
Longtime activist David Solnit joins us from San Francisco, California. He was one of the Direct Action Network organizers in Seattle 10 years ago and is the co-author with his sister Rebecca Solnit of “The Battle of the Story of the Battle of Seattle” published by AK press last week.

Also in San Francisco is Ananda Tan, the North America coordinator for the Global Alliance for Incinerator Alternatives. He led a group of 4000 Canadian workers to the protests in Seattle in 1999.

Both David Solnit and Ananda Tan are part of the Mobilization for Climate Justice Coalition that is organizing demonstrations and civil disobedience in nine cities across the country today.

The World Trade Organization convenes today in Geneva for its seventh ministerial. Investigative journalist Greg Palast files a report from Geneva where he interviews WTO Director General Pascal Lamy to see how much the organization and its priorities have changed over the past 10 years.
