Lon­don, Fri­day 24 Sep­tem­ber: around 2pm. a num­ber of anar­chists and sym­pa­thiz­ers from var­i­ous parts of the metrop­o­lis con­verged on the shop­ping cen­tre in the mid­dle of the busy inter­sec­tion Ele­phant and Cas­tle, cho­sen because of the thou­sands of peo­ple from Latin Amer­i­can coun­tries liv­ing in the area.

After drop­ping ban­ners over the main entrance in sol­i­dar­i­ty with the Mapuche hunger strik­ers and the 14 anar­chists arrest­ed in Chile, they dis­persed into and around the shop­ping cen­tre and local mar­ket giv­ing out hun­dreds of leaflets in Eng­lish and Span­ish.

Unno­ticed by the State and pri­vate secu­ri­ty who were too intent on defend­ing the boss­es’ wares, the ban­ners stayed in place for hours in full view of hun­dreds of bus pas­sen­gers from almost every coun­try on the plan­et on their way to and from their places of exploita­tion.

Today’s out­ing, cho­sen to coin­cide with the inter­na­tion­al sol­i­dar­i­ty date for our Chilean com­rades, rather than being a fait accom­pli is a call to action every­where, with­out delay.
