Direct action and civil disobedience

Absolutely, time and time again only by direct action, is anything won. (pjl)

http://www.resist.com.au

Is a rank&file site and much more. Originating in Australia but with contributions from around the globe. It is a virtual database of many, if not all issues, that concern rank&file activists and the depth of exploration and fact finding, of these issues need to be seen, to be believed.

As well, http://resist.com.au agitates and organises, resist actions, as well as supporting any fightback against against the corporately controlled system. a *hot* one being run at the moment is a massive civil disobedience mission, to take place this year, in Australia. See on-site for more info re: CON-census. The following is part of the preamble, found at http://www.resist.com.au/con-census/

You can refuse to take part in the upcoming Census. Why? The Australian Democrats and other sources have confirmed that the information to be gained in this year's Census may be utilised as a privacy-intrusive measure to build up information profiles about average Australians, like you and me. Combine this with proposals of a National ID card, and the Howard Government's history of misuse of information ( Children Overboard, Iraq invasion justification, AWB scandal etc. etc.) and you have good reason to refuse to hand over your personal information.

More importantly than the Census itself, many feel uneasy, frustrated and even helpless with our involvement in the illegal war in Iraq, our treatment of Asylum Seekers, the recent introduction of the new Anti-Terrorism and Sedition laws, and other post-9/11 related events at home and abroad.... Which brings us to this point in 2006, where we now believe that an act of Civil Disobedience is required to send a message to our Government.

Con-Census 2006 enables you and others to take positive non-violent action.

Are you prepared to risk being punished for your peaceful act of non-cooperation? This is perhaps a tough question. If you believe that you have a moral duty to resist, then penalties must not deter you. By taking part in this action, you will be refusing to comply with the Census Statistics Act of 1905, and as we read it, you may theoretically be fined $100 dollars per day that you refuse to comply.

What we are doing:

We have drafted a document entitled "Letter of Objection", which you may choose to printout, sign, and attach to your unfilled Census form. We encourage you to use of our "Letter of Objection" , as a message to the government of your solidarity with other conscientious objectors taking part in this peaceful act of non-cooperation.

Of course, you may add to our letter, write your own letter of objection, or just refuse to fill in the census form - It's up to you.

View and Print our "Letter of Objection" Letter of Objection - Acrobat Reader .pdf file Letter of Objection - Microsoft Word .doc file Letter of Objection - Printable web page (You may notice that we have not specifically refered to the misuse of the Census information in the letter, as we cannot assume that this is one of your reasons for taking part.)

Show them how its done!

Great to see the Melbourne Wobblies Initiating this action. Given the timidity of the ACTU/Trades Hall leadership in their so called campaign against these unjust laws - its timely for the Wobbs to make a splash with calls for a General Strike. Hope to see a really strong visible presence from the Wobblies at the Block as it is by endorsing and conducting Direct Actions that the Wobblies will make their name in Melbourne. Lets show them how a real Union that actually believes in the Power of the Working Class to act behaves!

General Strike.
