BOSTON MAYDAY 2000:  
ANTI-CAPITALIST FESTIVAL OF RESISTANCE
Monday, May 1, 2000

MAYDAY 2000 follows the successful days of action against capitalism on
June 18th, and November 30th last year, and expands on the same spirit.
Many groups from around the world are preparing for this event, in
recognition that the system of capitalism, based on the exploitation of
people, commuities, and the environment for the profit of a few, is the
prime cause of our social and ecological troubles. May 1st will offer a
perfect symbol and real opportunity to build our struggles against it.

All around the world, MAYDAY is a global day of action agianst
capitalism. This is part of reclaiming this RED and GREEN day for labor,
the environment, and all humanity! BOSTON is one of the world's biggest
centers of capitalism - managing as much as $7 TRILLION in capital.  For
every millionaire here, there are a million who suffer both here and in
the rest of the world as a result of Boston-based oppression. WE NEED TO
EXPOSE the fraud behind this system, and in Boston we need to focus our
resistance on the power structures which perpetuate this global
oppression, in the heart of the city's FINANCIAL DISTRICT.

As part of this global day of action against capitalism, activists from
the greater Boston area are planning a "festival of resistance" in the
heart of the city's financial district. Through a combination of
protest,
street parties and direct action we hope to disrupt "business as usual"
and transform Boston's financial district into a carnivalesque
celebration against capitalism.

PART I - festival:  11:00 a.m., Park St. Station
FESTIVE PARADE:  11:45 a.m., from Park St. Station via several
"capitalist
landmarks" to Post office square
PART II - continuing festival at Post Office Square and other places in
the
Financial District

Puppets, Music, dancers, theater, speak-outs, protest, street parties,
critical mass bike ride,
direct action, civil disobedience, creative disruption, use your
imagination....

We encourage people to organize themselves into affinity groups and
bring
their own forms of direct action and creative disruption to this day of
action in Boston's financial district.  

NO BUSINESS AS USUAL

Organized by the Boston Encuentro for Humanity and Against
Neoliberalism,
and Sabate Anarchist Group.
