june 14-16
EU Summit
Gothenburg, Sweeden
http://www.motkraft.net/gbg2001/ http://www.gbg2001.org/ http://sweeden.indymedia.org/
A large demo against the European Union and the upcoming Euro. Lots of focus on the racism and borders in the EU. these folks have been planning for about a year. They write: "We are mobilising to the EU Top meeting in Gothenburg in June 2001 for two major reasons. The first reason is to strengthen the Swedish and Scandinavian left.... The second reason is that we want to continue the traditions that we in Sweden have had of participating in international mobilisations.... The network is based upon three main social questions; environmentalism, anti-racism and the feminist struggle.

june 25-27
IMF/World Bank
Barcelona, Spain
http://www.nodo50.org/25juniobarcelona/ http://www.nodo50.org/bcn2001/ http://www.pangea.org/mrg/entrada.htm http://barcelona.indymedia.org/
From June 25th to 27th the Annual Bank Conference on Development Economics of the Worldbank will take place in Barcelona. It is the third of its kind in Europe. Anticapitalistic and autonomous collectives, organisations and individuals are organising a joint resistance in order to boycott and stop this meeting.

july 1-3
WEF European Summit
Salzburg, Austria
http://www.antiwef.org/
From the 30st of June till 3rd of July, the European Economic Summit of the WEF will be held in Salzburg/Austria. Their capitalistic Vision of the future is not ours, neither the right-wing-populistic Vision of the Austrian Regime is - We call for Protests and Civil Disobedience against Capitalism and Racism in Austria and every other Place on the World. We are a group of activists, artists and musicians, mostly in or from Salzburg, which don't want to accept the bad states of our goverment, and the upcoming century of globalized capitalism. Resist - Together! - Demonstrate against the WEF on 1st of July in Salzburg

July 2-7
Border Camp
Tarifa, Spain
http://www.noborder.eu.org/camps/esp/index.html
We have chosen Tarifa because of its symbolic value: the biggest border in Europe, the Straits of Gibraltar,where more than 1500 persons died trying to cross and where 1000 africans are arrested by the border police every month. The program of the camp is still opened and we expect that different organizations from Europe will come; also we are making all our efforts to bring people from Africa and South America.

July 4-8
Border Camp
Petisovci, Slovenia
http://www.noborder.eu.org/camps/slo/index.html

The problem of immigrations in Slovenia is very accentuated. The Balkan path has been released after the end of Yugoslav wars, the State is dealing with the problem in exclusively repressive and violent manner, the European Union is pressing economo-political elite to stop any migration what so ever. The summer camp is going to take place between 4th and 8th of July in the village Petisovci near Lendava. The location is filled with symbolic. It is 1 kilometre from the Croatian border, 2 kilometres from Hungarian border, next to a dying refinery, in the place that was once a spa.

July 5-12
Border Camp
Bialystok, Poland
http://www.noborder.eu.org/camps/pol/index.html

We see this as an especially important area for a no-border camp as EU politics demand that Poland take a tighter stand on people from the East, as Belarus heads more in the direction of xenophobic nationalism and as hundreds of thousand of people find it more difficult or even impossible to cross borders to earn a living, visit friends or family or just take a simple vacation. We plan doing a lot of work with the local population and on making actions that will draw more attention to the border regimes of these two countries and to the problems of border around the world in general. There will be some exhibits, concerts, etc. made by groups from Belarus, Russia, Ukraine, Poland and perhaps elsewhere.We also plan some excursions and anarchist games during the camp. It is a good opportunity to meet people, have fun and to show opposition to the border regime! This no-border project is being organized by a coalition of actvisits frommany countries, mainly from Poland, Belarus, Ukraine and Russia.

july 13-22
Anti-racist, Anti-sexist Summer Camp
Bremen, Germany
http://www.summercamp.squat.net/
************MOVED TO JANUARY 2002*********************

july 15-?
Summer Camp Vs Lockheed Martin Rocket Fuel Plant
Votkinsk, Russia

Groups in both Votkinsk and Chaykovskiy have joined Socio-Ecological Union, umbrella of about 300 enviromental NGO's, and "Khimbez", network against chemical pollutants in Russia. After lenghty court processes, local movement asked help from "Rainbow Keepers", radical social ecologist movement known for their direct actions. After two years of resistance, local people decided that new forms of resistance are necessary. Local people wanted to organise a protest camp, which Rainbow Keepers have been organised annually since the beginning of the nineties.

July 19-23
Border Camp
Genoa, Italy
http://www.noborder.eu.org/camps/ita/index.html

In July 2001 the G-8 top will take place at Genoa (Genova), Italy. We, immigrants, antiracist and antifascist organizations and associations of this town appeal to all immigrants in Europe to meet in Genoa during the days of this convention, in order to demonstrate, discuss and start building up new connection nets at international level.

july 20-22
G8 Summit
Genova, Italy
http://www.peacelink.it/users/controg8/

Each person is called upon to make precise choices leading to real cooperation and to the rejection of the paradigm implying huge economical and social gaps inside countries and between different countries; the uncontrolled exploiting of natural resources: imperial, colonial and patriarchal policies; the use of war as a mean of solving controversies between nations. For these reasons, we believe that, during the G8 meeting, Genoa should be transformed into the meeting-place of the human rights movements; asserting, first of all, equal rights for all men and women: beginning with the right to a dignified life, to freedom of speech, of expression, of movement, opposing the globalisation of rights to the globalisation of finance and trade.

July 27- Aug 5
Border Camp
Frankfurt, Germany
http://www.noborder.eu.org/camps/ger/index.html

The challenge for the Border Camp 2001 is to make clear that there is radical resistance to the neo-liberal racism of the modernised anti-migration policy-even in the wealthy, worldly, multi-cultural Rhein-Main region. Besides the antiracist and antifascist interactions with those outside, the internal development of the Camp plays a central role. With 500-1000 participants each year, the Camp has come to be an important meeting point for different antiracist groups and individuals. The Camp has come to stand for the challenge and the difficulty of political co-operation. Precisely because the Camp is composed of a variety (every year new) of heterogeneous perspectives and against a background of different daily realities, we are obliged to talk about shared basics, positions and activities.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While summit hopping is definately a reality based
on privilge it is a growing trend that is strengthening the resistance
against capitalist globalization. As long as our organizing is not
primarily focused on these symbolic meetings, and we continue to
meet and discuss these things, there can be some real benefits to
organinzing around massive days of action

This page is intended to help folks who are planning to be on the
european continent this summer get hooked up with the anti-capitalist
struggles going on here. Don't come to these places just to be there
for the actions, but if you're taking a break from your own communities,
might as well make these actions part of your vacation. Good luck.
