So, you're lookin' to research your 'activist' vacation spots for this year?*
Look no further than the Dissident Island International Mobilising 2009 show! We're talking to people involved in organising some of the upcoming big summits...the UK Camp for Climate Action tell us about COP15 happening in Nov-Dec, the War on Want campaign discuss the upcoming April G20 event happening in London, and the French Dissent! network talk about NATO summit. (In case you didn't know, NATO is turning 60 and is splashing out in a couple towns in France and Germany, and there'll be a nice big protest party in response!)
The show also features some non-commericial tunes, a vegan recipe, tips and tactics for counter-summit mobilising and protest organising scattered throughout and our first ever on-air competition! The evening ends to the tunes of Danger Man...so check it!

PS: The G8 Italy '09 mobilising is definitely underway...but has been rather under wraps! We're on it and will let you know soon.
(*not to be flippant about the serious shit...though, come on, let's be honest, when an activist takes a vacation, there's often a protest involved...)
