Funk the War @ the RNC!!!

[Samantha Miller]

Funk the War has spread like a fluorescent colored disco fungus across the map of the United States, and infected youth with militant anti-war disco fever.

Now we're gonna be at the Republican National Convention on September 1st, incorporating our booty shakin' beats into the RNC Welcoming Committee's blockade strategy the best way we know how: we're going to dress fierce, we're going to blast our music loud, we're going to party hard. Meet us at the corner of Cedar and Colombia (at the southeast corner of the capitol grounds) at 4:00pm, and we'll show these stuffy politicians: When our bass rumbles, empires crumble.

War is a waste of our Youth! Funktocracy is in the Streets!

DAY 1: SUNDAY AUGUST 24 – Reclaim the Streets!!!!

-Urban Reclamation Front of Unconventional Denver

Kick off a week of resistance to the corrupt two-party system and
capitalism with a rowdy street party that will reclaim public space
from the police state occupation of Denver!

Sunday the 24th is the day before the convention begins and a day in
which delegates from across the country will be checking into their
hotels and attending a pre-convention party in the evening. It has
also been chosen by the network of groups mobilizing against the DNC
as the day to demonstrate against war and occupation. Groups of all
kinds will be out in force during Sunday starting with a morning anti-
war march organized by Recreate 68 from the Civic Center down to the
Pepsi Center. This will be followed by the Alliance for Real
Democracy’s low-risk Funk the War celebration which will fill downtown
with music and crowds dancing and speaking out against the war.

As you take to the streets in these morning and midday events,
Unconventional Denver will be distributing information detailing when
and where this anticapitalist party will manifest. Plan on attending
the low risk Funk the War celebration after the march with the
understanding that when the signal is given we will emerge onto the
streets of downtown in an explosion of color and noise. The goals for
this action will be to transform public streets around the 16th street
pedestrian mall and nearby delegate hotels into a scene of celebratory
resistance that expands the scope of demonstrations off sidewalks and
into a mobile force in the streets that cannot be missed.

This will be Unconventional Denver’s first action in what will be a
long week. So we will be balancing our goals of taking concrete action
against the police occupation of Denver by reclaiming public space
with the necessity of keeping this street party out of the hands of
the law.

Bring instruments, noise makers, boom boxes, and bicycle sound systems
in order to fill the streets with the sound of our resistance and
don’t forget to dress to impress! We will be experimenting with
creative tactics for temporarily holding streets and intersections as
we carve out space for our party so bring ideas, tools, and materials
that can help make this action a success. Plan on attending the
Saturday evening consulta to find out ways your affinity group can
plug into making this action a success.

We will also use this moment to distribute propaganda and information
about the following days of action and to set the tone for the week.
There will be no business as usual in Denver during the DNC!
