After long hours in the unconventional editing epicenter, after even longer hours in the unconventional graphic design dungeon, a joint effort between multiple UA teams has finally finished. The third unconventional action newspaper, following “Unconventional Strategies” and “False Hope vs. Real Change,” is now available.

Unconventional Strategies 2.0 is a how-to guide for the disruption and subversion of this year’s electoral spectacle. It contains the most up-to-date strategy information, maps, schedules of events, contact information, and advice on plugging into the counter-convention infrastructure. We are especially proud of the new 7-sector map of downtown St. Paul, which makes use of likely RNC delegate bus routes and was assembled by a professional radical cartographer.

Because the conventions are less than 2 months away, UA publishing groups will not be using a professional printer to make a 15-30,000 print-run, as was done with previous papers. This one will have to be done the old-fashioned way, by printing them off the internet and copying it yourselves. Read-only and print versions of the paper can be found in the downloads section.

On a related note, several new beautiful posters have been added to this site, and an 11×17 version of the new St. Paul sector map should be up shortly. There are also still many bundles of the False Hope vs. Real Change paper available for free, which can be ordered at falsehopeorrealchange@riseup.net . With less of a focus on the conventions and more attention paid to the anarchist case against capitalism and electoral politics, this paper is be an excellent outreach tool for those unable to make it to the conventions.

Finally, while it is exciting to note that sectors 5, 6, and 1 of St. Paul have been claimed, the hot spots in sectors 3 and 4 are still lonely as can be. Any takers?
