Carnival Against Capital

The Carnival Against Capital (also known as J18) was an international day of protest on Friday, 18 June 1999, timed to coincide with the 25th G8 summit in Cologne, Germany. The carnival was inspired by the 1980s Stop the City protests, Peoples' Global Action and the Global Street Party, which happened at the same time as the 1998 24th G8 Summit in Birmingham. The rallying slogan was Our Resistance is as Transnational as Capital. In London, a spoof newspaper was produced, alongside other publicity.
