DECEMBER: KYOTO NEGOTIATIONS IN MILAN
Milan is going to host the next round of Kyoto negotiations (COP9),
taking place in the industrial capital of Italy on December 1-2. Over
10,000 people are expected to arrive in Milan -- government
representatives, lobbists, delegates from nonprofit organisations, and
environmentalists.
A large mobilization is planned for December 6, calling for a STOP
IN GLOBAL WAR(M). A considerable number of Critical Mass
activists will arrive in Milan by bicycle, for an act of massive oil
desertion. The idea is to let government representatives know they
should forget about moving by car in those days and choose light
transport instead. We will facilitate their decision by simply creating a
massive a colourful traffic jam. Everybody is invited to join in. There
will be large accommodation facilites. If you wish us to keep you
informed about proceedings of the mobilisation, please let us know
by sending an e-mail to lacop9seitu@???.
