No Nations!

Pink & Silver
attracts attention and puts into uncertainty cops, the media, and the public,
thus being an interesting form of communication guerrilla.
This concept certainly will wear out one day
but now it's new and hip and only offers advantages to us.
It facilitates a creative way of dealing with traditional, inflexible demonstration rituals (shouting slogans, agitating, disguise of participants, disturbing the police in their work).
To our minds, Pink & Silver is right the opposite of individualized macho militancy (throwing stones, into the own first lines if possible, clearing out, posing). The extensive exercises beforehand as well as the well-meditated and effective delegates' structure offer the opportunity to get involved to all those who don't feel like getting a bleeding nose just because of some brainless acts of violence. There is a collective addressing of the fears arising when faced with the cops' violence, and there is a confrontational level determined by ourselves.
Of course, Pink & Silver is not a panacea guaranteeing the success of all our future demonstrations, but it surely offers a meaningful alternative to the black block and to other militant concepts (and to all the rest whose imagination never leads beyond the usual boring stop-and-go demonstrations!).

on this 'new' action concept, which made it's first appearence in Prague.
(One story from Prague S26)

This video shows its different aspects and can be used to discuss and to prepare for action!

“I travelled down in a group of 11 women and 2 men. It was very much a women’s mission – women driving the trucks, reading maps and making a lot of the decisions. Of course we allowed the men the same say, but we very much wanted to hold onto the fact that it was our women’s energy that we wanted to take to Prague – our love our creativity and our playfulness. Some of us had met before, some hadn’t; most of us had been activists in the past, driven by our concern for the environment and our anger at corporate greed.
