BUFFALO CONVERGENCE SPACE OPEN! www.a22buffalo.org buffaloactivist at yahoo.com
Beginning Monday April 16th the convergence space for the anti-FTAA/corporate globalization activities in Buffalo will be opening its doors. The space will be the welcome center for traveling activists, supporters, or folks passing thru to Quebec City. It will also be the central hub of communications for the week of events where anyone can get information, network and relax. You can also come and grab a bite to eat, take in a few workshops on media training, non-violent civil disobedience, puppet and banner making. Plus get hooked into the spokes council gatherings and all of the involved affinity groups.
The convergence center is also providing DLS Internet access and a Free Speech TV viewing station will be open with its radical media fare playing non-stop. So here are the details (spell-checked too ;D):
