Global emergency actions at U.S. Embassies to protest Assange arrest – Sunday 14th April

This website has put the call out for Emergency mobilisations to occur globally outside  U.S. Embassies and Consulates (USA actions will be at US Political Buildings/Offices.) on the following Sunday of an eviction of Julian Assange from the Ecuadorean Embassy. (Suggested time 12PM) 

If there are no US Embassies or Consulates in your city you can choose another appropriate venue such as a Federal Senator or Rep, US Federal Buildings some other US government or quasi-official US organisation offices.

Protests have been confirmed so far in the following cities:

Australia
Melbourne: 12 PM U.S. Consulate, 553 St Kilda Rd
Sydney: 12.30 PM
U.S. Consulate, Martin Place

Ireland
Dublin: 12 PM, U.S. Embassy, Elgin Rd, Dublin

Canada
Toronto: 12 PM, U.S. Embassy, 360 University Avenue.

United States
Wisconsin: 12 PM Capital Square, around the corner from Wisconsin State Capital.

New Zealand
Auckland:12 PM U.S. Consulate 23 CustomSt East
Wellington: 12 PM U.S. Embassy 29 Fitzherbert Terrace, Thorndon

Taiwan
Taipei: AIT Building

Only a massive and ongoing mobilisation of the youth and international working-class will generate the political force to prevent him disappearing into an American prison for life or worse. In many ways his extradition  signals the real start of this struggle. Protests have already been organised by other organisations since Julian’s arrest in Washington DC, Sydney, Melbourne, San Francisco and elsewhere.

The fight for Julian’s freedom is inseparable from the fight to defend a free press, democratic rights and the fight against censorship and against imperialist war.

If you want to find other people to organise with in your city or country, put a call out on the Free Julian Assange Events Facebook Page, or one of the Action 4 Assange country specific pages listed further down this article.

Create a Facebook event (or twitter post) or simply post the details of your event eg place and time and invite people to join you.

After your event please publicise your action on Facebook, Twitter or send details to ClassConscious@protonmail.com for us to distribute.

Here is link to higher resolution poster pdf files for professional printing: Paper, t-shirts, stickers, etc for those who wish to print of material for their protest.

WHY THIS IS A REVISED CALL OUT 
 This is a revised call out from the one classconscious.org issued in August 2018. At the time we were advertising protests in specific cities but we have lost contact since then with some organisers, therefore it is now more practical for people in each city to take on advertising their own protests rather than centrally advertising them on this site.
