Dissent! was the name taken for an international network of local groups, which came together to organise opposition to the
G8 summit held in
Gleneagles Hotel,
Perthshire,
Scotland in July 2005. Most groups shared an
anti-capitalist orientation and
anti-authoritarian organizing methods and the network declares itself to be open to anyone prepared to work within the Hallmarks of
Peoples' Global Action, an international co-ordination of radical social movements and grassroots campaigns. Dissent acted as a networking tool and created infrastructure which was used by groups with methods of
protest ranging from anti-border city tours and
street parties to road blockades,
graffiti and confrontations with the police.
