Bristol Indymedia Presents: Hacktivism - The use of digital tools in pursuit of political ends
Join us and speaker Mike Harris from Hacktionlab (http://hacktivista.net) for an evening discussing and debating social change and political activism through technological innovation or hacktivism.
The philosophy of hacktivism brings together different new and inclusive visions, where races, genders, creeds and ages melt within a medley of information without an owner. Come to the world of Hackers of the XXI Century, you may be one of them... Full article

bristol observer writes The self-styled CEO of UWE has spent the past year marketing the institution as being "Better Together" but has decided that the only way to run the institution is to impose decisions based on secret reports. Some 440 students have joined the Save UWE Languages Facebook site and more than 880 members of staff have signed a petition protesting the cuts. Today a large number of staff and students turned up to a lobby, which was covered by BBC television news. Earlier in the day BBC radio interviewed the University and College Union regional officer, who explained the absurdity of cutting language provision at the same time at which the British Academy released a report urging a rethink of language policy in UK higher education and secondary schools. Local MEP Graham Watson also weighed in to protest the cuts. Even the Bristol Evening Post found time and space to cover the protest. Full Article

A harrowing account of street violence in Bristol today... @bs5'er writes: [The 17th June] saw another innocent victim battered on the Bristol to Bath bikepath. The 30-plus man, a self-employed carpenter, was returning to his home in Chelsea Park from a friends house off Devon Road, in Easton, a little before midnight. After walking the 100m along the path he was just about to exit via the small cut at top of Chelsea park when he was confronted by 3 youths. Attempting to walk through, he was grabbed by one, and resisted. The other 2 piled in and seconds later he was on the floor taking a beating. After the youths left he stumbled to his feet and to a neighbours house, who drove him to the BRI A&E. ... For sure we have the right, and need, to protect ourselves and our communities, be it from bullyboy youth, killer cops, big business or dumb government. But its a long slow process, and for it to work it needs to include the wider community, not just bevvied up angry white men down some local boozer, treading a fine line between retribution and racism. Unless the youth can be convinced they have a commonality with those they are attacking, then we'll just have a spiral of tit for tat violence, police nickings and brutality, and that often tried and failed state solution of prison....
