Inspirational actions & radical radio

Tuesday,15 December 2009 by MikeHarris

It’s been an inspirational five days of amazing demonstrations.  From the massive 100,000+ people that took to the streets on Saturday’s dec12 demonstration, to the night-time freezing-cold vigils outside the Valsby detention centre for activists who were wrongfully detained, to yesterday’s Canadian Tar Sands and No Borders protests and the solidarity shown when people were inadvertently caught up in last nights raid on Christiania, the determination and solidarity of those here in Copenhagen has been stunning.  Tomorrow’s Reclaim Power protest that has the lofty aim of taking over the Bella Centre from outside and inside and holding a Peoples’ Assembly, will prove to be an interesting day at least.

I’ve been helping out with Indymedia, working from the media centre in the north of the city near the Folkets Hus social centre that is acting as a soup kitchen feeding thousands of activists three meals a day.  Some friends from Indymedia Radio are running a radio station live everyday in the evening and it’s well worth a listen in; it runs 24 hours a day playing loops of past days’ content.   There is also an archive of the live shows
