“If I can’t dance it’s not my revolution”.

Reclaim the Streets, Eyre St, Furnival Sq, #Sheffield. Summer 1996 or 1997.

Non violent direct action to occupy part of the city’s then pedestrian-segregated urban dual carriageway network by holding a free party on it, aided by the Smokescreen Sound System #XR #1990s #Occupy #Techno #NonViolentDirectAction #TAZ #ReclaimTheStreets

@danielratcliffe What happened to #ReclaimTheStreets? I remember one or two takeovers in #Birmingham in about 1996. The #police charged a crowd in the city centre and were hitting people which seemed like a completely reasonable reaction. Did the people behind #ReclaimTheStreets get locked up? #ExtinctionRebellion seems to be using similar tactics two and a half decades later.
