Editing Tute Bianche (section)

== Name ==
The name stems from an early demonstration (initiated by a loose group of Italian anti-globalization activists called the [[Ya Basta Association]]), involving the group defense of a [[squatted]] social center (Italian: ''centro sociale autogestito'', CSO or CSOA, meaning "occupied social centre"), in which demonstrators wore white overalls to evoke the ghosts that would haunt the [[ghost town]] police proposed to make of the social center. The padding tactic, adopted later, is also referred to as a [[padded bloc]] tactic. It was first used in September 2000 by other activists during the [[anti-globalization protests in Prague]]. About the movement's name and colour, the [[Milan]] collective of the Ya Basta Association explained: "If the struggle aims at achieving visibility, the colour of the fight is white, and the white garment covers the whole body."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://nycyabasta.mayfirst.org/documents/aoc.html|url-status=dead|title=The Age of Clandestinity|website=NYC Ya Basta|date=2000|archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20220408105606/http://nycyabasta.mayfirst.org/documents/aoc.html|archive-date=8 April 2022|access-date=12 December 2024}}</ref>
