More Than A Party

People use Upcoming to organize all kinds of parties. Last night, a bunch of Upcomers orbited the London Underground in protest. They were condemning an injunction by BAA that seeks to ban people from traveling on the Underground's Piccadilly line, on mainline trains, and on motorways while the Camp for Climate Action takes place at Heathrow Airport from August 14 through 21. Though BAA insists the ruling is for the "safety of passengers," environmental campaigners claim this is a case of "corporate bullying designed to shut down peaceful protest." [BBC News]



Nobody shut down last night's demonstration on the Underground and thanks to nmec's photos, it looks like the event was a riotous success.

Have you organized other unusual events with Upcoming? If so, tell us about them!
