In the next week, we’ll have our own recollections and coverage from the just completed 2007 CrimethInc. Convergence. For now, here is a report from the Athens News:
An un-permitted parade of more than 150 costumed anarchists and their supporters filled North Court Street Saturday night. They barricaded the West State Street intersection and danced, chanted, climbed light poles, banged on objects and fire danced before police dispersed the crowd, using squad cars and pepper spray.
“We’re just having fun,” one marcher told a bystander who asked what they were protesting.

On July 2, environmental activist Daniel McGowan entered federal custody to begin serving his seven-year prison sentence. Daniel had applied to remain out on bail until the BOP designates a long-term location for him, but his motion was denied—obviously because he has refused to cooperate with the government or remain silent about his case. Here we offer a report from Daniel’s last morning in freedom, followed by everything you need to know to write Daniel a letter of support and encouragement.
walking into daniel and jenny’s home this morning was like walking into an electrified field of emotions. the air crackled with the tension of all the feelings a morning such as this would bring. the gnawing feeling of sadness and anger that i woke up with exploded inside such an atmosphere. i had to swallow hard the growing lump in my throat, the tears begging to flow out from behind my eyelids. i didn’t want to cry, not yet. i busied myself, making breakfast with other friends, not wanting to stop. every time i did, when i looked at daniel, when i paused and felt the weight of what was coming, i could barely stand it.
