I like the symbolism (but do not endorse the idea) of tearing down walls that the army doing security puts up at these summits. David Graeber described in great detail how it went down in Quebec City in his book 'Direct Action: An Ethnography'
Chicago is not going to take any crap from anyone. Were not like any other city, its the "Chicago Way" so don't come, or you'll get a little taste of Chicago.
15000 people tops. Although I hope I'm wrong. They planned it to coincide with cold weather thinking it will deter everyone. And Rahm Emmanuels draconian rules won't help
No offense, but forcing people to take up arms in the protest is the easiest way to screw everything up. People are already in a uproar, but seriously, this is going to cause people to cause more damage then good.
i will be driving up from akron, ohio to help with the protest.

I don't encourage violence but it is indeed time for something more than carrying signs.
