NOV 7, CLIMATE ACTION UPDATE NETHERLANDS
Convergence center squatted / Actie & Samenkomstplek gekraakt!
A large convergence center is squatted today for actions and festival
around the UN Climate Convention, Nov. 12-25. Help is needed for
guarding, fixing, cleaning & having fun! Tomorrow the squatters will
have a chat with the owner, Haag Wonen. However, the Mayor is
considering eviction on grounds of public order.
If you are planning on coming to The Hague one of these days
allready, please do! The adress is Rembrandtstraat 70, recognisable
from the dark green garage doors. It's very near to the Blauwe
Aanslag Squat, across the water at the Buitenom one of the side
streets. Tram 2, stop at Westeinde Ziekenhuis.
From Thurday on, the Rising Tide Climate Justice Festival has an
office in the Blauwe Aanslag. Phone nr. is 0031 (0)70 3893632
In the meanwhile, police are creating a forbidden zone around the
official conference center. At a square near a monument and at
Madurodam (more on the outskirts of the city), police are allowing
demonstrations and as a 'service' they will make the place suitable
for festival like activities. Topping off all that friendlyness, if
we would like to offer a petition at the congress center, then the
police will be all to glad to drive two people to it. There is a
rumor an anarchist group from Leiden have applied to take advantage
of this service to offer a welcome-pie to Queen Beatrix, now the
richest woman of the world and major stockholder of Shell, who will
be opening the UN conference.
So it looks like things are going in the direction of the Euro-Summit
in '97 in Amsterdam, where police also introduced forbidden zones.
Then it was stated it would be illegal to 'behave suspiciously'.
Hundreds of people were held for 3-4 days for being part of a
criminal organisation. Though some of them received as much as 2500
guilders of damage compensation, preventitively arresting people for
the sake of public order is recently legalised in Holland.
Still, some of the protests will be allowed, included a Critical Mass
demonstration and construction of the worlds largest bycicle on Nov.
19.

MATERIALS/STUFF/TAT WANTED!
(Dutch Below)
been thinking on what you want to bring to the hague? Maybe your suit
and your briefcase? One thing is for sure, there can never be too
much creativity, but some practical things are also needed, like:
dust caps, chalk, tape, tie-rips, rope, waterguns, rotten food (e.g.
eggs, tomatoes), pies, cars, vans, regular bikes and other means of
transport, paint, spraypaint, turpentine, banners (sheets!), protest
signs, (super-) glue, wallpaperglue, small powder fire extinguishers,
wood, buckets, brushes, means of communication (mobile phones,
walkie-talkies / two way radios, pagers), hand held transistors,
stuff for disguises like posh clothes, posh shoes, clear lens
glasses, sunglasses, suitcases, wigs, lipstick, perfume etc... ( be
creative!), material to make costumes, tools, screws and nails, music
equipment, generators, noise making equipment (drums, jerrycans, oil
barrels, little cans, drum sticks, whistles), climbing rope, torches
and much more...
BE CREATIVE!
if you just have too much stuff too carry to the hague, or you-re not
going but do want to support (or want to lend us things), then here-s
the solution: you can leave all your practical actionstuff in the
following cities: amsterdam, the hague, den bosch, nijmegen and
utrecht. from there the things will then be taken to the hague. you
can call to find out what the most practical place is to dump you
stuff:

MATERIAAL GEZOCHT!!!
al nagedacht over wat je mee wil nemen naar den haag? misschien je
3-delige pak en je acte-koffertje? kreativiteit kan er in ieder geval
nooit te veel zijn, maar daarnaast zijn nog heel wat praktiese dingen
nodig, zoals:
mondkapjes , stoepkrijt, plakband / tape, tie-rips, touw,
waterpistolen, rot eten (yoghurt, eieren, tomaten), auto's, busjes,
bakfietsen, gewone fietsen en ander vervoer, verf / latex, spandoeken
(lakens!), lijm / behangplaksel, superlijm, waterglas, kleine
poederblussers, hout, protestborden (s.v.p. zonder 'de socialist'
erop), emmers, kwasten, spuitbussen / verf, communicatie middelen
(portofoons, mobieltjes, buzzers, etc.), yuppenkleding (3-delige
pakken!, mantelpakjes!, koffers, zonnebrillen, en andersoortig sjiek
spul), verkleed spullen zoals pruiken, brillen etc. , materiaal voor
kostuums, taarten, gereedschap, schroeven, spijkers etc., terpentine,

dan is hier de oplossing: je kunt al je praktiese aktiespullen kwijt
in de steden Amsterdam, den haag, den bosch, nijmegen en utrecht.
vanuit daar gaan de spullen dan naar den haag. je kunt bellen om
erachter te komen wat de meest handige plek is om je spul te laten:
