>>if ST decides to go ahead with the
Downtown-Action, it is necessary all involved know the basis and intent behind
this OCCUPATION:
>>This will take place in a downtown parking
garage on the eastside. Starting time will be approx.
2:00AM. This is being done for several reasons:
1)As an action to reclaim public
space
2)As a peaceful protest against the
Anti-Entertainment ByLaw
3)As a protest against poor City
action within the Downtown Eastside.
It is important that any participatory members know the motivations
behind the event and agree to them before participating. We are hoping to run
the event without police interference. If we are dealt with, please send all
inquiries to Tobias. If asked, we are doing this as a PERFORMANCE ART PEACEFUL
PROTEST. If we are dealt with, please leave if asked, and call the infoline for
the next location.
The event will be PERFORMANCE ART: we are all the
Performers.
NO SPECTATORS. This will be a new chance to show what is
left of "RAVE" culture as a force that is trying to say something in a peaceful
fashion. It is an opportunity to do something more than just dance. It is an
opportunity to dance for a cause, to be a part of a small pocket, however
insignificant, of localised resistance.
If we are dealt with by the police, the police will be made fully aware
of the purpose of the event- as a Performance Art Peaceful Protest. We are
construing the event though so as not to be dealt with in such a fashion and so
as to continue unhindered until we deem it necessary to
move.
Declaration
of Purpose
Peaceful
Performance Art Protest
Whereas we realise the problems
within the city
Whereas our peaceful actions
constitute a far less problem to the city
Whereas beneath our feet and around
the block lie far more serious problems
Whereas this is an ironic
juxtaposition as we realise this
Whereas we realise our right as
citizens to peacefully protest
We do this to support those beneath
our feet and around the block
We do this to show where the help
should really be going: to them
As different strategies are needed to
cope with the problems of the Downtown Eastside
As different strategies are needed to
cope with the night culture of the city
We peacefully protest the City’s
history of dealing with the Downtown Eastside
We peacefully protest against the
unconstitutional Anti-Entertainment Bylaw
We therefore peacefully protest in a
form of aural performance art
We therefore make our
point
We therefore when peacefully asked to
do so, leave.
As this is a peaceful, performance
art protest we do this only to raise awareness, and to make people stop and
think, to reconsider the irony of the situation, and realise compassion and the
need for freedom.
And if asked to do so, we shall
peacefully leave, as it is not our mandate to disturb.
