Creator Transcript
  • Phone Blockades: one of the lifelines of a corporation is the phone network. Get some of your friends together and call a selected target. Make sure that you all all call during the same time. Some of the actions taken during the "War Chest Tours" were: Die-lns inside banks and corporate office buildings, spray painting inside malls and buildings (as well as outside), shoplitfing inside large department stores (an example in Toronto might be batons), destruction of property (such as flags and other symbols of opression - this could be expanded to include any variety of things), or generally messing-up the place. In banks, deposit and withdrawal slips were strewn about like confetti, and in stores, objects were knocked off counters and shelves (consumer luxuries, displays and ads, and offensive items such as war toys). Other actions people here have thought of are: weaving webs with coloured yarn to block-off passage ways, marking items in stores with "free" stickers or other messages, releasing banners with helium balloons inside large public areas, damaging ,goods, stink bombs in strategic places, burning or "distributing' money, lock glueing, pouring dye and soap in fountains, leafletting (eg - lists of corporate / government / military connections), putting messages on money, or calling into work sick. You may wish to direct your actions against particular forms of opression experienced in your daily lives, such as racism, sexism, homophobia, ageism,. speciesism, classism, etc.
