Dissent!
Dissent! is the name taken for an international network of local groups, which came together to organise opposition to the G8 summit held in Gleneagles Hotel, Perthshire, Scotland in July 2005. Most groups shared an anti-capitalist orientation and anti-authoritarian organizing methods and the network declares itself to be open to anyone prepared to work within the Hallmarks of Peoples' Global Action, an international co-ordination of radical social movements and grassroots campaigns. Dissent's methods of protest ranged from anti-border city tours and street parties to road blockades, graffiti and confrontations with the police.
The Dissent! website proclaims that the network "hopes to exist long after the world leaders have returned home in the early summer of 2005," although it is unclear at the time of writing what it will do following the end of the Gleneagles summit.
