The international day of action against climate change is shaping up nicely. Make sure you're there.
Once again, the Campaign Against Climate Change is organising the biggest protest against climate change and the inaction of governments across the world to address this issue. Gathering this year at Millbank on the banks of the Thames and marching past Parliament and Downing Street en route to the US Embassy in Grosvenor Square, the march will coincide with the international talks happening in Bali.
Globalise Resistance has been a part of the Campaign Against Climate Change since the beginning and have played an integral role in making sure the left and green movements make a concerted effort to mobilise around this issue.... read more

Alfonso Cuarón, director of "Children of Men", and Naomi Klein, author of "No Logo", present a short film from Klein's book "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism".

Exposing the thinking, the money trail and the puppet strings behind the world-changing crises and wars of the last four decades, The Shock Doctrine is the gripping story of how America's "free market" policies have come to dominate the world -- through the exploitation of disaster-shocked people and countries.
DIRECTED BY JONÁS CUARÓN.

Stunning success in Baltic German fields and lanes.
On Wednesday protestors successfully blocked the main roads in the G8 summit in Heiligendamm in Germany. This was one of the most exciting and successful actions I have ever been on. The BLOCK G8 CAMPAIGN has been planning this action for over a year and was set up by a range of organisations including church groups and veterans of the anti-nuclear movement as well as autonomist and anarchist groups.... read more

A surreal challenge to the SOCPA law - the one that limits the right of protest near to Parliament - happened on Saturday 21 April 2007. here's what happened...
In the previous 18 months, there were over 2000 occassions that the police had to grant permission for protests to happen in the "SOCPA ZONE". This law is meant to make anyone holding a protest in area around Parliament write to the police for permission to do so.... read more
We are constantly being told that easy personal actions will 'save the climate'. The problem is that most of these “top ten tips” are ineffectual and play directly to our denial tendencies.
Hardly a week passes without someone emailing, phoning or posting a DVD to the Globalise Resistance office championing the idea of 9/11 being an inside job.
