Fresno plans for RNC protests
Fresno group plans to attend Republican National Convention protests this summer
Activists from around the country indeed, from around the world have already begun plans to give President Bush a New York greeting he will never forget. Even in Fresno, organizers are gearing up for next August's RNC. RaNCor --"Radical anti-Neo-Conservative Organized Resistance"--is a Fresno based group of dedicated activists making sure that their voices will be added to the hundreds of thousands saying No to George Bush, No to his illegal, Unilateral, imperialist foreign policy, No to his grotesque and destructiive anti-environmental policies, and No to his siphoning off of profits and taxes to corporate criminals. Fund-raising efforts have already begun for younger folks and others who will need financial assistance in order to make the trip.
We meet the first Friday of each month in Fresno at 6:30pm at the Central City Cafe, 5048 N Blackstone.

OCCUPIED TERRITORY
By the occupied territory collective
Occupied territory is the grass beneath our feet, stolen by European religious zealots coming to cleanse the land for the Christ-god and establish a new Christian state with the doctrine of manifest destiny. Since Columbus and the inception of the United States, the inhabitants of the great Turtle Island numbered around 15 million by 1890, fewer than 250,000 indigenous remained alive. In our occupied territory of California, the indigenous number was approximately 300,000 in 1800, then to fewer than 20,000 in 1890. As a part of the struggle to understand the binds of oppression and restrictions that surround us its vital to recognize how we got here, to this place that separates by class, race, gender, sex, etc. Only knowing the history of this land can we honor those who came before and plan how to participate in our emancipation from the systematic greed of capitalism.
Occupied Territory is a private* gathering of like-minded individuals who dream of freedom from the sin of capitalism and sham of the state. For a moment we can gather to organize theories of community and autonomy into a active and effective revolutionary movement involving the various of trends of anarchism that exist today. To have an effective revolutionary movement we must prove we can live as a community to benefit each other. Without a model to compare to, all we have are dusty relics of the past to look back to with longing eyes. Occupied territory is based upon the principal of temporary autonomous community. A T.A.C is a non-hierarchical temporary autonomous community based on free associative mutual aid to ensure that a community, solely comprised of individuals, individually contributes personal resources for each other without coercion, to sustain a community for days, weeks, or months. Occupied territory is more than a conference but an experience in autonomous community.
To achieve permanent autonomy, we, us like minded* individuals must create a network of those oppose the state and its lackey capitalism in one of the most influential and expansive areas in the world. To build a cohesive autonomous community in the shell of the old, to sway the will of the worker to bring the u.s. economically to it’s knees. We need a network to support the development and lend mutual aid to emergent anti-authoritarian collectives, by giving those alienated by geography, a resource on anarchist collectives and community.
Our gathering will take place June 18-20th in the mountains to east of Fresno. To get informed of developments first, subscribe to the gathering list occupiedterritory [at] lists.riseup.net. IF you would like to get involved or contribute in anyway e-mail the occupied territory (de) central command at occupiedterritory [at] riseup.net.
* This gathering is for like minded private citizens. Those who have employment or membership in law enforcement agencies, corporate news agencies, etc are strictly forbidden to come to the occupied territory gathering June 18-20th. Those who purposely break the law by coming to a private gathering will be removed under the extreme limits of the law.
