Subject: Fwd: Berkeley, CA: LEAP DAY ACTION NIGHT!



You're Invited to

LEAP DAY ACTION NIGHT

A roving, creative, theatric festival of Resistance to Corporate
Domination in Downtown Berkeley and around the world

Use your extra day to smash capitalism, patriarchy and the state

Meet at Berkeley BART station (Center & Shattuck) at 6 p.m. on
Leap Day, Tuesday, February 29 for a rally, followed by a
simultaneous march and critical mass (if numbers are sufficient--
otherwise we'll just march) to visit and protest various corporate
outposts in Berkeley.

Be prepared for a PARTICIPATORY puppet theatre action:  Tiny
finger puppets will be passed out to participants (its a lot
easier to escape, if necessary, than if we used huge ones on
sticks) with four different categories:

*  police finger puppets
*  WTO delegate finger puppets
*  non-violent blockader finger puppets; and
*  Eugene Anarchist finger puppets.

Then we'll re-enact Seattle N30 in front of big corporate banks.
At each bank we can all switch puppets and experience different
roles.  Plus, no real tear gas will be used!

We'll be roving the streets of Berkeley meeting out comic justice
to horrible corporations which are killing the planet, controlling
its people, and making life less fun than it should be.

Block a little traffic and party in the street!
