TransFolk and Queers Converge in Chicago to Smash RNC
November 9th through the 11th, Milwaukee hosted the Midwest Anti-RNC Planning consulta. During the Sunday break-out strategizing session, a group met to discuss the possibilities of militant Trans and Queeraction against Republican National Convention in 2008.

TransFolk & Queers Converge in Chicago to Smash RNC
Those involved in the discussion, expressed their desire for a Trans and Queer bloc to play an integral and aggressive role in the strategy to shut down the RNC. It was proposed that such a bloc could hold one of the key intersections surrounding the convention center or could crash the parties of especially grievous religious fundamentalists. The strategy of creating 15-20 blockades in downtown St. Paul on the first day of the convention is one that allows almost infinite possibilities. Behind the barricades, we will have the opportunity tocreate the world we wish to see; a world without restraint.
To pursue the goal of gender-fucking the RNC, it has also been proposed that a convergence should take place in Chicago the weekend of April 5th. Radical Queers, Transfolk, Anarcha-feminists, and allies from all over the Americas are invited to come to Chicago to ensure the end of the old world, and the beginning of ours. More information will be announced when the details of this convergence have been worked-out. We are looking forward to seeing all of you in Chicago in April, and the Twin Cities in September.
For the liberation of desire and for dance parties amidst the ruins!

The RNC is a voluntary convention of free individuals that happen to be ideologically on the other side. Just like the DNC. Still, why smash it? So we look like monkeys flinging poop in the zoo? If your goal is to behave like a caveman, then please be my guest... at least admit that the tactics of "taking the street", organizing blockades is vulgar and barbaric thuggery. I'm always in favor of organizing alternative events and set the bar for moral and human behavior.

Also I am confused by your mentioning of the DNC, are you advocating that the DNC also be shut down? Or are you assuming that I am a Democrat? If you are assuming that by showing opposition to the RNC that we are Democrats you are oh so wrong. PS fuck your moral superiority argument. How dare you think because people are willing to take militant action that they are on a lower rung on the moral ladder than you, in fact it is probably just the opposite.
