DIRECT ACTION - INDEX The cathartic, catalytic power of Direct Action Geraldine Aves Memorial Lecture 2002, Royal Society of Arts, London, 16 January 2002 BID TO ARREST MUGABE IN BRUSSELS Gay rights campaigner Peter Tatchell was beaten up and briefly knocked unconscious as he attempted to stage a citizen's arrest of the Zimbabwean President, Robert Mugabe, in the lobby of the Hilton Hotel in Brussels on Monday 5 March 2001 RELIGIOUS LEADERS REBUKED AT HOLOCAUST CEREMONY Chief Rabbi, Cardinal and Archbishop of Canterbury quizzed over "holocaust hypocrisy" HOMOPHOBIA ISN'T
OVER YET Direct action protests are about people taking power for themselves, instead of leaving politics to professional politicians. THE ARREST OF PRESIDENT MUGABE - 1999 Peter Tatchell reveals OutRage!’s daring attempt to arrest the President of Zimbabwe on charges of torture and other human rights abuses The unique style of 'protest as performance' pioneered by the queer rights group OutRage! ' DIRECT ACTION IS NECESSARY BECAUSE HOMOPHOBIA IS SEXUAL APARTHEID Legal discrimination against lesbians and gay men is a form of sexual apartheid. It's time more of us got angry and challenge the straight supremacist laws which treat us as second class citizens. TURNING OVER TABLES IN THE TEMPLE Direct action against homophobia is a moral imperative. The case for civil disobedience. NO APOLOGY FOR FIGHTING HOMOPHOBIA Outrage!'s campaign against the homophobia of Lord Jakobovits was right and necessary. OUTRAGEOUS CAMPAIGNERS SHOW SIZE ISN'T EVERYTHING It’s not just numbers that count during protests- imagination, humour and entertainment value can capture more attention. The lesbian and gay movement should be committed to a strategy of non-violent civil disobedience to force the repeal of Britain's discriminatory anti-homosexual laws. |
