赴法参加抗议的美国活动团体宣布11月在华盛顿举行三天行动:号召涌入国会大厅,称之为「纳税人起义」

据《纽约邮报》10 月 20 日报道,一个曾派成员赴法国参加当地抗议的美国活动团体,已宣布计划于 11 月在华盛顿举行连续三天的行动。名为 Code Pink 的团体被《邮报》描述为女权反战组织,它号召抗议者涌入国会大厅,举行其所称的「三天和平抵抗」,时间定于 11 月 10 日至 12 日,并以「纳税人起义」为名号召。
据《邮报》报道,该团体负责人 Jodie Evans 现年 72 岁、是好莱坞电影人,她呼吁「人们看看法国」,敦促美国人走上街头。法国因教育与生活成本问题爆发的全国抗议已持续一周有余,上周末在多座城市演变为抢掠与纵火;法国当局已实施局部宵禁,并承诺为定于周六的新一轮抗议部署大规模警力。
另一个美国团体「社会主义与解放党」(Party for Socialism and Liberation)表示将与法国抗议者共同行动,在 Instagram 上写道:「在美国的我们与你们站在一起,反对资本主义紧缩。我们与你们站在一起,因为我们同样要求把钱用于住房和教育,而不是战争与占领。」
《邮报》引用的批评者则指责这些团体在输入动荡。1970 年代逃离古巴的评论人士 Gonzalez 对《邮报》说:「这些活动人士被教导去憎恨自己的社会」,并称参与放大法国抗议的团体与科技富豪 Neville Singham 相关的网络有关联,Singham 是 Evans 的丈夫。《邮报》称 Code Pink 被指在激进化新一代活动人士;该团体则把计划中的华盛顿行动定位为和平抵抗。在相关报道中,没有美国当局宣布针对这一 11 月计划采取任何措施。
U.S. Activists Who Joined France's Protests Announce Three Days of Action in Washington in November, a 'Taxpayer Uprising'
A U.S. activist group whose members travelled to France to join that country's protests has announced plans for three days of action in Washington in November, the New York Post reported on October 20. Code Pink, which the Post described as a feminist anti-war group, has called on protesters to flood the halls of Congress in what it calls 'three days of peaceful resistance', planned for November 10 to 12 and billed as a 'taxpayer uprising'.
The group's leader, Jodie Evans, 72, a Hollywood filmmaker, called on 'people to look at France' as she urged Americans to take to the streets, according to the Post. France has seen more than a week of nationwide protests over education and the cost of living, which turned violent at the weekend with looting and fires in several cities; French authorities have imposed local curfews and promised a massive police presence for further protests planned on Saturday.
Another U.S. group, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, said it would join French protesters in their struggle, writing on Instagram: 'We in the United States stand with you in your struggle against capitalist austerity. We stand with you, because we too demand money for housing and education, instead of war and occupation.'
Critics quoted by the Post accused the groups of importing unrest. Commentator Gonzalez, who fled communist Cuba in the 1970s, told the Post: 'These activists are taught to despise their own society', and said groups involved in elevating the French protests are linked to a network associated with tech millionaire Neville Singham, the husband of Evans. The Post reported that Code Pink has been accused of radicalizing a new generation of activists; the group presents its planned Washington action as peaceful resistance. No U.S. authorities quoted in the reporting announced any measures in response to the November plans.
