"Bailing out protestors who exercise their constitutionally protected rights is simply not a crime. In fact, it is a historically grounded tradition in the very same social and political movements that the city of Atlanta prides itself on. Someone had to bail out civil rights activists in the 60s – I think we can all agree that community support isn’t a crime."

Today, it has been 24 years since anarchists and other protesters successfully blockaded and shut down the summit of the World Trade Organization in Seattle, catapulting the movement against capitalist globalization onto the world stage.

At that time, the greatest challenge was to rupture the apparent consensus in favor of the reigning order. Now, the capitalist triumphalism of the 1990s is a thing of the past. The capitalism of the 21st century no longer makes any pretense that everyone will benefit from the economy and the state. We have to demonstrate means of fighting that can be of use of a wide range of people as they struggle to survive.

From the movements of the turn of the century, we can learn the value of joyous, affirmative, and creative action in building networks of resistance.
