Two intensely moving Bay Area demonstrations were held in the days following the death of Carlo Giuliani, the man martyred by police during the G8 demo. The first, was a spontaneous coming together of people in the streets of Berkeley on July 20. The second was a memorial for Carlo Giuliani at the Italian Consulate in SF. Worldwide protests have raged across the world since Genoa. A website has been set up to document these solidarity protests: G8Solidarity.Protest.net

Activists returned to the Italian Consulate on 8/23 for a protest and performance marathon. After weeks of stunning details describing illegal and brutal police repression in Genoa, dozens remain in prison and many more are facing charges, including one Bay Area resident. The protest, dubbed Art is Not a Crime, focused on the arrests of the PublixTheatre Caravan, a peaceful performance art group that was targeted by Italian authorities.
