TransFolk and Queers Converge in Chicago to Smash RNC
Oh, my, god. I giggled with delight as I read this. Enjoy, comrades.

November 9th through the 11th,
Milwaukee hosted the Midwest Anti-RNC Planning consulta. During the Sunday break-out strategizing session, a group met to discuss the possibilities of militant Trans and Queer action against Republican National Convention in 2008.
Those involved in the discussion, expressed their desire for a Trans and Queer bloc to play an integral and aggressive role in the strategy to shut down the RNC. It was proposed that such a bloc could hold one of the key intersections surrounding the convention center or could crash the parties of especially grievous religious fundamentalists. The strategy of creating 15-20 blockades in downtown
St. Paul on the first day of the convention is one that allows almost infinite possibilities. Behind the barricades, we will have the opportunity to create the world we wish to see; a world without restraint.
To pursue the goal of gender-fucking the RNC, it has also been proposed that a convergence should take place in
Chicago the weekend of April 5th. Radical Queers, Transfolk, Anarcha-feminists, and allies from all over the Americas are invited to come to
Chicago to ensure the end of the old world, and the beginning of ours. More information will be announced when the details of this convergence have been worked-out. We are looking forward to seeing all of you in
Chicago in April, and the Twin Cities in September.
For the liberation of desire and for dance parties amidst the ruins!

OMG, that rocks! Especially the goal of gender-fucking the RNC. Take it to their doorsteps and faces. You made my day Matt, esp in light of all the assimilist crap that continually affronts our basic essence.
YEAH! It’s so, so so so militant and subversive. I love how you put it - “gender-fucking the RNC”!!! Maybe the RNC will be my priority this summer afterall…
Hmm.
