Today, on the one year anniversary of the indignados movement in Spain, people from around the world representing the global Occupy movement went onto the streets to say ENOUGH to the corrupt capitalist economic system that has lead the world into a global financial crisis, making the lives of the majority of the world’s citizens every day more precarious. I myself, a dual American and Spanish citizen, have witnessed the effects of the crisis in the United States, Spain, Serbia and now the United Kingdom, and was lucky enough to participate in the day’s demonstrations in London where a large crowd with a diverse array of smiles and messages filled the streets with their demands for a more just society.

I arrived in front of St. Paul’s Cathedral at around 12.30 pm, a half an hour before the day’s activities were planned to kick off, and was immediately startled by the disproportionate number of police deployed. Down a small side street behind St. Paul’s where I locked up my bicycle, I spotted at least 5 squad cars. Sure, the crowd was large, but the majority of the day’s participants were peaceful protesters waving flags and signs, yelling slogans in favour of the 99% and dancing to the beat of music in the street. These smiling faces, people of all ages with dogs and babies, could hardly constitute a threat that would justify the financial expenditure necessary to deploy such a highly visible police presence.

I approached a police officer to enquire after the best place to lock up my bike. The officer eyed me up and down, and noticing my polite demeanour calmly asked me where I was heading. “Here”, I stated without flinching, nodding towards the plaza in front of St. Paul’s. “Your staying here?” replied the policeman, his face falling in dismay as he realized he was talking to one of “them”. “Well you’d better lock it up far from here”, he warned me, “because if we have to do anything it might be removed”. I walked away wondering what the officer had meant by “do anything”. The police present were visibly nervous and had obviously been briefed so that if anyone so much as blinked in the wrong direction police force would be deployed.

Despite the initial surprise at the nervous aggression with which the officers paced around the plaza eyeing up everyone from anarchists inAnonymous masks to grandmothers sitting in the sun with a sign calling for “Real Democracy Now”, I realized that it wasn’t the participants that made the police so nervous but the message. As one of the afternoon’s speakers so aptly noted, the police are here to protect the status quo, and what every single person in front of St.Paul`s on the 12^th of May 2012 was asking for was Change. Fundamental, real, visible, immediate change so that they can go on living their lives without the constant fear of losing their jobs, their benefits, their homes, and even their lives.

The day’s speakers were diverse and passionate and demonstrated the many faces of the precarity we are all experiencing to greater or lesser degrees. From the disabled woman who ironically addressed the crowd screaming,” I apologize to all of you, because it was me, me and my disabled peers, we caused the financial crisis by claiming benefits”, and who explained how the benefits keeping her safe and alive are about to be cut due to the government’s austerity measures, to the university student who pointed out that no one had planned for a system to be formed in which the mistake of one individual in a corporation could affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of others, everyone had a different story, a new example of how the system is failing us all.

The day kicked off with a member of the New Economics Institute www.neweconomicsinstitute.org who explained how the financial crisis had begun and the effects the economic policies of the 1% are having on the lives of real people in the United Kingdom, Greece, around Europe and around the world. The second speaker, a G.P (general practitioner) from the U.K´s National Health Service (NHS)explained how the financial crisis is leading the government in the United Kingdom to push to privatize the healthcare system and emulate the inhumane and exclusionary health system upheld in the United States. Other speakers included lawyers, university professors, members of the Spanish indignados movement, people calling for the protection of common space and even a representative of theOccupy Leyton Marshes www.saveleytonmarsh.wordpress.com movement that demonstrated how the current financial crisis and the government greed in light of the pending Olympic Games has lead to corporate land grabs of green spaces at the local level. What all these people had in common was their determination to continue the struggle, to build up a mass movement and to fight for social justice, for equality and security.

What the world witnessed today in London, and in cities and towns around the world, is that these people aren’t a threat requiring police with batons that aim to protect everyone’s god given right to private property. The Occupy movement is made up of people from every walk of life, the employed, the unemployed, students, mothers, fathers and neighbours. The face of the 99% are the mothers who demand safe green public places for their children to grow up in, the people born with disabilities who are unable to work and need financial support in order to live a healthy safe life, the under 25 who doesn’t want to have to choose between going into debt and having a future, the university professor who is watching the economic system of his country crumble and the suicide rates skyrocket, the doctor who doesn’t want to turn someone away for treatment because they couldn’t afford to pay for insurance.

The 99% are all of us, because evolution has created a world in which not all of us are equal, and every one of us is different and unique. Any one of us could end up in a position in which we need to ask for help from the community around us, where we may need a social security net in place in order to make it safely through the night. All of us hope that we will never end up in this sort of position, but if one day some of us do end up in a situation in which we are unable to fend for ourselves, it will be better not to wonder why we didn’t fight earlier for a system that ensures the wellbeing of each and every member of society, no matter who we are or what we need. In the current system, however, it doesn’t matter how hard you work, study or plan for the future, the future is never certain.

Society exists so that we can work together to take care of each other, so we can ensure the survival of our species and our planet. The global Occupy movement is important, world altering and getting more media attention than any other social movement in decades because it is demanding something tangible that all of us want and need. It is demanding that a security net be put firmly in place because the future is for all of us, and all of our children, no matter who they are or what their situation. We may not be the same, but we all equally deserve a future without fear and without precarity. On May 12^th 2012, one year after the Indignados movement sparked a wave of global protest, the Occupy movement has shown the world it is here to stay, that we will continue to struggle, to go into the streets and to demand justice. Why? Because the world is for more than just the 1%, the world is for all of us. We all deserve a fair chance and a life without fear, and we will Occupy until we get it!

#12mGlobal Indignados take back square on movement’s anniversary Madrid

By Jerome Roos On May 13, 2012

Hundreds of thousands flock into Puerta del Sol as part of a global day of action to commemorate the first anniversary of the 15-M movement.Why would we need political parties if we can have a political party? That’s the question that rang through my head as I roamed around Puerta del Sol last night, climbing on top of the metro station to see a crowd of hundreds of thousands amassed in the square. In one corner, people were actively debating alternatives to capitalism and representative democracy — in another, hundreds were dancing wildly to the revolutionizing beats of a professional drum circle.At midnight, the square was still crammed with people. Earlier, tens of thousands had marched to Sol from four different corners in the city. Walking along with the Southern march, we witnessed the incredible sight of more people joining us in every single neighborhood we passed through. In a sign that the 15-M movement has effectively decentralized itself, neighborhood assemblies amassed locally and then joined the larger marches to Sol.

The principle reason the indignados took back to the square last night is that this week marks the first anniversary of the movement. On May 15 last year, several dozens of activists followed in the footsteps of the Tahrir revolutionaries and pitched the first tents on Puerta del Sol, marking the birth of a non-violent popular protest movement that would quickly spread throughout Spain, to Greece and then on to Wall Street and beyond.

As part of this anniversary, the assemblies of the 15-M movement called for another global day of action, like the one on October 15 last year. The call was answered by hundreds of thousands of people in 60 Spanish cities and at least 50 countries throughout the world. In Tel Aviv, tens of thousands took to Rabin Square to fire up their own movement again, while Occupy London protesters were met with a police crackdown on their attempt to set up a new camp.

But there was another, less festive reason the indignados were back in the square this weekend. A year down the line, a right-wing government has come to power and the economic situation has only further aggravated. With investors fearing a Greek-style escalation of the country’s debt troubles, Spain has now become the focal point in Europe’s never-ending crisis. In response, the government pushed through the most radical austerity program on the continent.

Furthermore, the government made a move this week to bail-out the country’s third biggest lender, Bankia, which had long been beset with trouble as more and more homeowners began to default on their mortgages. Spain is plagued with the highest unemployment in the developed world: almost 25 percent for the average population and over 50 percent for the younger generation. Since 2007, over 350.000 families (!!!) have been evicted from their homes.

Yet despite the dark clouds of debt hanging over the country, the atmosphere in Sol last night was exhilarating and festive. When at some point a number of police vans retreated from the square, hundreds started dancing and screaming all around them, screaming “Sol belongs to the people!”. Towards 2am, thousands sat down in the middle of the square for the first general assembly since the demobilization of the camp in June last year. Noone seemed to mind the fact that the authorities had officially “forbidden” the presence of any protesters in the square after 10pm.

But then, towards 5am in the morning, as the crowds began to thin out and hundreds had already passed out on their makeshift cardboard beds, the police suddenly did move in. In a violent crackdown on the completely peaceful temporary autonomous space that had been created, policemen roughly dragged away protesters, arresting at least a dozen and a half, and pinning one girl to a wall for at least 20 minutes.

Yet, as usual, the indignados showed immediate resolve. Today, from 5pm on, thousands flocked back into the square and many thousands more are expected to join them tonight. Until May 15, the movement has organized dozens (if not hundreds) of thematic assemblies and workshops in squares and parks across Madrid, ranging from healthcare and economics to infrastructural questions and future actions. Similar activities are underway across Spain.

All of this is telling us something very important: our movement survived the cold winter months and is gearing up for another season of simultaneous contestation and co-creation. Last night, the people had smiles upon their faces, for the movement once more proved that it remains a force to be reckoned with. One message circulating on Twitter yesterday perfectly captured the mood here in Madrid: “this is not an anniversary — it’s a tradition!”

Release following the meeting of the Group of Joint – 23 and April 24, 2012 People’s Summit – Rio +20

laurentgranada — Fri, 04 May 2012 23:17:11 +0000

(English)
1. Registration
So far more than 600 activities have been proposed. In order to articulate
them and move towards more convergence, a subcommittee of the Methodology
Working Group was established.

Registrations have been extended until May 5th.
We remind you that the Governments and political parties can not register.
Universities and foundations can do. Registration for the media are
alreadyopen.
Soon, we will also open registration for stands and cultural activities.

2. Mobilization
Two days of global mobilization are scheduled: June 5th (Earth Day) and
June 20th (Global Day of Action). A Working Group was established to
support these mobilizations, to participate, send or receivemore
information, write to:mobiliza@rio2012.org.br.

3. Dialogues with Civil Society from 16 to 19 June in Rio de Janeiro
The Brazilian government has proposed to the People’s Summit to
participate in the process called “Dialogues with Civil Society” (DDS).
The Coordination Group of the People’s Summit disagrees with this process
and its methodology. From our perspective, the method proposed by the DDS
does not match the dynamics of dialogue we are trying to build. This
proposal of DDS was established from top to bottom, the government chosed
the topics, participants and facilitators, clearly indicating that the
results will be controlled byitself. To participate in this dynamic means
giving carte blanche to “civil society recommendations” on which we would
not have our say. The People’s Summit for Social and Environmental Justice
is an autonomous space, critical of the Conference Official and big
corporations.

4. Accommodation during the People’s Summit
As you may know already it is difficult to find housing between the 15th
and 23rd June in Rio de Janeiro. We recommend you book already on the
internet, there is still availability in neighborhoods such as Copacabana
and Ipanema. The People’s Summit will be held in the district called
Flamengo. From Copacabana and Ipanema you can go to Flamengo by Metro or
Bus.

3. Dialogues avec la Société Civile du 16 au 19 juin à Rio de Janeiro

Le gouvernement brésilien a proposé au Sommet des Peuples de participer au
processus appelé “Dialogues avec la Société Civile” (DDS). Le Groupe
d’Articulation du Sommet des Peuples est en désaccord avec ce processus et
avec sa méthodologie. De notre point de vue, la méthode proposée par les
DDS ne correspond pas à la dynamique de dialogue que nous tâchons de
construire. Cette proposition des DDS a été établie de haut en bas, le
gouvernement ayant choisi les thèmes, les participants et les
facilitateurs, indiquant de façon claire que les résultats seront
controlés par le gouvernement. Participer à cette dynamique signifie
donner carte blanche aux “recommandations de la société civile” sur
lesquelles nous n’aurions pas notre mot à dire. Le Sommet des Peuples pour
la Justice Sociale et Environnementale est un espace autonome,critique de
la Conférence Officielle et des grandes entreprises auxquelles elle est
liée.

4. Hébergement durant le Sommet des Peuples
Comme vous le savez peut-être déjà il est difficile de trouver des
logements entre le 15 et le 23 juin à Rio de Janeiro. Nous vous

Rise up on May 12th, 2012 – We are the 99% #12m15m

laurentgranada — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 16:57:18 +0000

On the 15th of October 2011 we took to the streets in over 1000 cities in 82 countries. We got organized and took the first steps on the road to dignity and global change. That was more than six months ago yet we continue to have to raise our voices to make politicians and bankers understand that they in no way represent us. We are united in our demands: the welfare of the 99% must be respected.

Governments only represent us if they follow the will of the vast majority, not just the privileged few.We are united, we are everywhere, we are where you least expect us.

We demand, firmly but without violence: social justice, wealth distribution and an ethic of commons. We condemn poverty, inequality, environmental devastation and corruption as tools of subjugation by the powerful on society.

We will not stop until we achieve our objectives: the 99% will take to the streets again and again until we have a say in the world in which we live. We want global change. Let’s turn the streets into the world’s biggest loudspeaker on the 12th of May.

Because we are the 99%, we are not owned by politicians and bankers. Take to the streets on May 12th!

Join us.

Updates from Portugal for #12m15m MAY12

laurentgranada — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 12:59:08 +0000

There will be actions on the May12 in Porto, Coimbra, Santarém and Lisboa, and it seems that there are people in Évora already organizing something too. In Leiria, Braga, Aveiro, Faro and Vila Real is possible that someone or some group comes up with a demo, but I didn’t find any information yet.

There have been already two assemblies to prepare the May12 in Lisbon (in which several groups are participating and finally managing to work together!), one in Coimbra and another in Porto. This saturday there will be assemblies in Lisbon and Coimbra to (I hope) define the final plans (or almost) for the May12.

As soon as there are definitive information about the different protests I will let you know. For now, I leave here the link for the protest in Santarém: https://www.facebook.com/events/361011567273888/

GENERAL UPDATES FROM THE DIFFERENT PLACES

- Popular Assemblies

Besides of what is related to the Global May, there are regular popular assemblies in Porto (weekly), Coimbra (twice a week) and Lisbon (different groups gathering in different rhythms). In Lisbon there are also several neighbourhood assemblies.

- Protests and Other Actions

In this cities and in other cities, some actions happen but most of them are still small, except some actions that start happen which are related with the National Health System – this saturday there will be protests in several cities against the destruction of the National Health System.

- Occupied spaces

In Porto, there is a school that was abandoned more than 5 years ago. It was occupied last year (on April 10 it was the one-year anniversary) and it achieved amazing things: right now the community of the neighbourhood is participating in the activities of the occupation and also on the organization of everything, and the children play and receive free educational support in the school. This project is called “Es.Col.A. da Fontinha” (Es.Col.A. means Collectively Managed Space, Fontinha is the name of the neighbourhood) and the city hall is threatening to evict the space. It is possible that the eviction takes place already on this night.

This project is mobilizing many people on a national level because there is not really tradition of occupying abandoned places in Portugal. In the end of march there was a “Acampada Es.Col.A” in the place with some dozens of people of several portuguese cities and many more from Porto itself. If the eviction happens it is probable that people take the streets at a national level (I hope so!)

You can check the blog of the project at: http://escoladafontinha.blogspot.pt/

More occupations of abandoned buildings might happen in the near future in other cities, there are people working (or at least thinking) on that.

- Communitarian Gardens

I don’t know how exactly to call to this “spaces”, but let me explain: basically, its pieces of abandoned land occupied by activists and normal people to create places where everyone can cultivate to provide food for the communities. There is one that I know in Lisboa and at least one in Porto. In Coimbra very soon a public abandoned terrain will also be occupied with this goal.

In short, things are developing in a each day greater rhythm, although still not many people are involved. I would say that from several hundred to not much more than one thousand people are participating in these kind of dynamics in Portugal. But we hope that in May the movement will grow a lot and several acampadas will certainly happen with that goal.

Portugal is on for the May 12. Portugal is also struggling for another world!

Welcome to the #7BB in Berlin

laurentgranada — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 23:59:37 +0000

Dear All,

Since the 7th Berlin Biennale is approaching, we would like to thank you for all the engagement and the energy you are putting into your presence and the installation in the Berlin Biennale. We also want to share with you once more some of our thoughts about it and the reasons why it is so important for us to collaborate with the Indignados and the Occupy Movement.
We’d like to confirm that your presence in KW Institute for Contemporary Art during the Berlin Biennale has nothing to do with the exhibition logic. You have your own space on the ground floor (main exhibition hall) and you can decide the use of it autonomously. We won’t try to influence your decisions. We will not give out any rules or instructions, which you have to follow.
We would like you to create your own conditions for your presence at the Berlin Biennale, and nobody from KW or the Berlin Biennale should influence or dictate something to you. You design and define the shape and use of your space. If there are demands sent to you, it means that these demands represent the interests of other people. In such a case we can treat them as a normal part of the social and political struggles which we confront every day, and we have to deal with them as such.
As a curatorial team we declare that you are independent and not obliged to follow the logic of the institution. You should do what you want to do. If we would like to work with you or try to convince you to do something, we should accept your rules and your working conditions. Please remember that you are free, even if we are not able to execute this freedom fully.
There is no wish from the curatorial team of the Berlin Biennale to use your space for our needs. If there are proposals from our side, you autonomously decide whether to accept them or not.
We believe that you are able to teach us an alternative way of dealing with social problems. We strongly sympathize with you, even if sometimes it’s not easy for us to follow your proposals. Our curatorial work is very often based on a different logic – one that involves hierarchy, group conflict, and daily struggle with each other. We believe that through your way of working you can make progress – on a human and political level.
So please let us say it again: your presence in KW in the ground floor exhibition space is not curated by us. While we fully identify with your actions, we deny ourselves the possibility to intervene in them in any way other than those accepted by your democratic practices. You are not an exhibition and you are not exhibited, but you can use what the exhibition context provides: our support, some funds, and a large number of Biennale visitors to advocate for your ideas and claims. You can practice your performative way of doing politics inside a social space, called a “gallery.”
Our only wish is to make this space obviously political, and that’s exactly what you do.
As you know, we are publishing a newspaper accompanying the exhibition, we will send you this text in the separate email, to share the reasons behind our invitation and giving over the space, time, and means to you for your independent, non-curated presence.
All the best,
Artur Żmijewski
Igor Stokfiszewski
Sandra Teitge

#12m15m Let’s take the streets on May 12th. Because we are the 99%

#M12 #GlobalChange Spread this message from M12Global on Vimeo.

We are the 99%.

The current distribution of economic resources is such that only the scarce minority escapes from poverty or daily uncertainty. Future generations are condemned to receive a poisoned heritage due to the enrionmental risks undertaken for the very few who profiteer. We demand social justice, we will not stand down in the defense of our rights. Our representatives have the obligation to be guided by our needs; they have to listen to us. Let’s turn the streets into the biggest loudspeaker on earth on May 12th.

Because we are the 99%, because we are not goods controlled by politicians and bankers.

Let’s take the streets on May 12th.

[ES]

Somos el 99%.

La distribución actual de los recursos económicos condena a la inmensa mayoría de la población mundial a la pobreza o a la incertidumbre diaria, y a las generaciones del futuro a una herencia marcada por los riesgos medioambientales. Todo para el beneficio de unos pocos. Reclamamos justicia social, no daremos un paso atrás en la defensa de nuestros derechos. Nuestros representantes tienen la obligación de hacer valer nuestras necesidades, deben escucharnos. Convirtamos las calles en el mayor altavoz del mundo el 12 de mayo.

Porque somos el 99%. Porque no somos mercancía en manos de políticos y banqueros.

Tomemos las calles el 12 de mayo.

[FR]

Nous sommes les 99%

La distribution actuelle des ressources économiques condamne l’immense majorité de la population mondiale à la pauvreté ou à l’incertitude quotidienne, et les générations futures à un héritage marqué par les catastrophes écologiques. Tout ça pour le bénéfice d’un petit nombre. Nous réclamons une justice sociale, nous ne ferons pas un pas en arrière dans la défense de nos droits. Nos représentants ont l’obligation de répondre à nos besoins, ils doivent nous écouter. Alors, dans le monde entier, le 12 MAI 2012, soyons à l’unisson le haut-parleur de la révolte. Parce que nous sommes les 99%.

Parce que nous ne sommes pas de la marchandise aux mains des politiciens ni des banquiers.

Prenons les rues le 12 Mai.

[IT]

Siamo il 99%.

L’attuale distribuzione delle risorse economiche condanna la stragrande maggioranza della popolazione mondiale alla povertà o l’incertezza quotidiana, ed alle generazioni del futuro ad un lascito segnato da rischi ambientali. Tutto a vantaggio di pochi. Chiediamo giustizia sociale, non faremo un passo in dietro nella difesa dei nostri diritti. I nostri rappresentanti hanno l’obbligo di fare valere i nostri bisogni, devono ascoltare noi. Trasformiamo le strade nel maggiore ‘altoparlante’ del mondo il 12 Maggio. Perché siamo il 99%.

Perché non siamo merce nelle mani di politici e banchieri.

Facciamo nostre le strade il 12 Maggio.

[PT]
Somos os 99%.

A distribuição actual dos recursos económicos condena a esmagadora maioria da população mundial à pobreza e ou à incerteza diárias, e deixa às gerações futuras uma herança marcada pelos riscos do meio ambiente.Tudo em beneficio de uns poucos. Reclamamos justiça social, não daremos um passo atrás na defesa dos nossos dereitos. Os nossos representantes têm a obrigação de fazer face às nossas necessidades, devem ouvir-nos. Tranformemos as ruas no maior megafone do mundo a 12 de Maio.

Porque somos os 99%.

Porque não somos mercadoria nas mãos de politicos e banqueiros.

Ocupemos as ruas a 12 de Maio

[DE]

Wir sind die 99 Prozent.

Die derzeitige Verteilung der wirtschafltichen Ressourcen verdammt die große Mehrheit der Weltbevölkerung zu Armut oder tagtäglicher Unsicherheit. Zukünftigen Generationen wird ein Erbe aus Umweltrisiken und -problemen hinterlassen. Und all dies zum Vorteil von einigen wenigen. Wir fordern soziale Gerechtigkeit und weichen keinen Schritt zurück bei der Verteidigung unserer Rechte. Unsere Repräsentanten haben die Pflicht, unsere Bedürfnisse umzusetzen, sie müssen auf uns hören. Laßt uns am 12. Mai die Straßen in den den größten Lautsprecher der Welt verwandeln – denn wir sind die 99 Prozent.

Wir sind keine Waren in den Händen von Politikern und Bänker.

Wir besetzen die Straße am 12. Mai.

[ARAB]

99%.

إن التوزيع الحالي للثروات الاقتصادية يحكم على الأغلبية العظمى من السكان في العالم بالفقر والخصاصة ويمنح الأجيال القادمة إرثا يحمل في طياته كوارث بيئية. كل هذا حتى تستأثر قلة قليلة من رغد العيش.

نحن ولئن نؤكد الحق في العدالة الاجتماعية ولن نتأخر في الدفاع عنه، فإن على ممثلينا السياسيين واجب الاستجابة لحاجياتنا وعليهم سماعنا. فليكن إذا يوم 12 ماي 2012 صوت الثورة في كل أنحاء العالم، لأننا 99% ولأننا لسنا سلعة بيدي رجال المال والسياسة.

فلننزل إذا إلى الشوارع يوم 12 ماي 2012.

[GR]
Είμαστε το 99%.

Η σημερινή κατανομή των οικονομικών πόρων καταδικάζει την συντιπτική πλειοψηφία του παγκόσμιου πληθυσμού στη φτώχια ή στην καθημερινή ανασφάλεια, και τις μελλοντικές γενιές σε μία κληρονιμιά στιγματισμένη από τους περιβαλλοντικούς κινδύνους. Όλα για το όφελος των λίγων. Διεκδικούμε κοινωνική δικαιοσύνη, δεν θα κάνουμε ούτε βήμα πίσω στην υπεράσπιση των δικαιωμάτων μας. Οι αντιπρόσωποί μας έχουν την υποχρέωση να φροντίζουν για τις ανάγκες μας, να μας ακούνε. Στις 12 Μαίου, ας μετατρέψουμε τους δρόμους στο μαγλύτερο μεγάφωνο του κόσμου. Γιατί είμαστε το 99%. Γιατί δεν είμαστε εμπορέυματα στα χέρια πολιτικών και τραπεζητών. Ας πάρουμε τους δρόμους στις 12 Μαίου.

[RU]
Нас 99%.

В настоящее время, распределение экономических ресурсов обрекает подавляющее большинство населения мира на бедность и ежедневную неопределенность, а будущие поколения подвергает серьёзным экологическим рискам. Все для блага меньшинства. Мы требуем социальной справедливости, мы не отступим ни на один шаг от защиты своих прав. Наши представители обязаны защищать наши интересы и потребности, они должны нас слушать. Превратим улицы мира в наш крупнейший мегафон 12 мая. Потому что нас 99%. Потому что мы не продукт в руках политиков и банкиров. Займем улицы 12 мая.

并且对未来的世代, 环境风险指示的继承。一切为少数的个体.

我们在我们的权利防御要求了社会正义，我们不会给一步后面。由真正的民主

让我们采取街道12从5月。

[TR]

Biz %99′uz

Ekonomik kaynakların mevcut dağılımı sadece küçük bir azınlığın yoksulluktan veya geleceğin belirsizliklerinden kurtulmasına izin veriyor. Kar eden küçük bir kesimin yarattığı çevresel risklerden dolayı gelecek jenerasyonlar kirli bir miras devralmaya mahkum. Biz sosyal adalet istiyouz, hakkımızı savunmaktan geri durmayacağız. Temsilcilerimiz bizim ihtiyaçlarımızı karşılamakla yükümlüler; bizi dinlemek zorundalar. 12 Mayıs’ta sokakları dünyanın en büyük hoparlörüne çevirelim. Çünkü biz %99′uz. Çünkü bizler politikacılar ve bankerler tarafından kontrol edilen varlıklar değiliz. 12 Mayıs’ta sokakları ve meydanları dolduralım.

[HIN]

हम 99% हैं.

आर्थिक संसाधनों के वितरण वर्तमान ऐसी है कि केवल दुर्लभ अल्पसंख्यक गरीबी या दैनिक अनिश्चितता से पलायन है. भविष्य की पीढ़ियों के लिए बहुत कुछ मुनाफाखोर के लिए किए गए enrionmental जोखिम के कारण जहर विरासत प्राप्त की निंदा कर रहे हैं. हम सामाजिक न्याय की मांग, हम नीचे हमारे अधिकारों की रक्षा में खड़े होंगे. हमारे प्रतिनिधि के लिए हमारी आवश्यकताओं के द्वारा निर्देशित किया दायित्व है, वे हमारी बात सुननी है. पृथ्वी पर सबसे बड़ा लाउडस्पीकर में 12 मई को सड़कों पर बारी. क्योंकि हम 99% कर रहे हैं, क्योंकि हम नेताओं और बैंकरों द्वारा नियंत्रित माल नहीं हैं. 12 मई को सड़कों पर ले.

[ESPERANTO]

Ni estas la 99%.

Nuntempa dispartigxo de la ekonomiaj rimedoj kondamnas la plimulton de la monda logxantaro al malricxeco aux al cxiutaga malstabileco, kaj venontajn generaciojn al unu vivo plena de mediaj riskoj. Tio cxi nur por profito de malmultaj. Ni postulas socian justecon, ni ne faros unu retropasxon en la defendado de niaj rajtoj. Niaj reprezentantoj havas devigon respondi al niaj bezonoj, ili devas auxskulti nin. La 12-an de MAJO 2012 ni transformu stratojn en la plej grandan lauxtigilon de la mondo. Cxar ni estas la 99%. Cxar ni ne estas varo en la manoj de politikistoj kaj bankistoj. Ni prenu stratojn la 12-an de majo.

We are the 99%.

As part of the Wgroup of Facilitation of the international meetings for action planning in May 2012 and at the same time as a member of the Action Alternatives and Solutions WG, I would like to share 4 info points:

Our next general meeting related to this subject will be held on Saturday March 17th at 19:00 UTC on the DRY’s mumble http://mumble.democraciarealya.es/index.php?lang=en

http://international.democraciarealya.es/12m/next-meeting/ please join, you are all welcome.

You can access the minutes of the last meeting that took place last night through this link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13k_-m4W3aZ3qrDVSZm53jrZxBpSPGcX…

All proposals presented so far by the assemblies have been organized in an schematic way and are available here : http://titanpad.com/proposalfor12and15May

NOTE: This pad will become a cute graveyard of excellent proposals if we neglect our responsibility to study them in our assemblies, that is the job of each one (as I understand it, and sorry if this sounded rough).3) Within this pad there are six or seven simple proposals to carry out in the three ****star days*** of the month of May.

On our last meeting we agreed to spread them, it is understood that it is responsibility of each person to carry out the task. Therefore I am doing my part!

- Return to camp in the squares the 12M or 15M

- Flashmob: standing still (or sitting down) quietly for about 3 mins. in squares or public places – in shopping centers, areas of bars, arenas, football stadiums and others but without obstructing the traffic.

-In contrast: Blockades of Public transport means and roads as a measure of pressure, stopping normal traffic
-Alternative to the demonstration 12M Global: reappropriation of public space
- Actions of civil disobedience: do not pay the meter, not paying at the supermarket, for water, gas or light, which is compatible with civil disobedience actions in the internet.
- Send mass emails/tweets individually with a single short sentence to a global target
- “MEMORY Action” To produce a documentary or other summaries (pamphlets, posters, collage) Recalling the achievements so far attained by each assembly> region> countryThis list is not an imposition, but only suggestions. They are proposals that came out of assemblies and are now returning to them as queries to satisfy transparency and horizontality.

We hold regular WG meetings (details below) where we can answer questions and receive comments / contributions.

Como parte del grupo de dinamización de las reuniones internacionales de planificación de acciones para mayo 2012 y al mismo tiempo miembro del grupo de trabajo de Acciones Alternativas y Soluciones pero siempre a título personal escribo para comentaros cuatro puntos:

1) La próxima asamblea general relacionada con este tema se celebrará el día 17 de Marzo sábado a las 20:00 (hora de España y no española por favor XD ) en el servidor DRY:http://mumble.democraciarealya.es/
Cómo conectarse a mumble:http://mumble.tomalaplaza.net/manual/

El acta a la última asamblea que tuvo lugar anoche se accede a través de este enlace:https://docs.google.com/document/d/13k_-m4W3aZ3qrDVSZm53jrZxBpSPGcXdOzSHzyjFbRs/edit

2) Todas las propuestas recogidas hasta el momento se han ordenado de forma esquemática y están a disposición de todxs en este enlace: http://titanpad.com/proposalfor12and15May

NOTA: Este pad se convertirá en un buen cementerio de propuestas si no nos ocupamos todos de difundirlas y en especial estudiarlas dentro de nuestras asambleas, esa es labor de cada unx (entiendo yo).

3) Dentro de este pad existen seis o siete propuestas sencillas a llevar a cabo en los 3 días “estrella” del mes de Mayo. Anoche se compartieron estas propuestas y se acordó la difusión (se supone a cuenta y responsabilidad de cada quien):

- Volver a acampar en las plazas el 12M o el 15M
- Acción de parase (o Seantada) en las plazas (flashmob) (unos 3 mins.) o sitios públicos (sin obstruir el paso) – Acción de concenciación en Centros Comerciales, zonas de bares, Plazas de toros, Estadios de fútbol y otros
-En contraposición: Acciones de bloqueo: Transporte… como medida de presion, parando la normalidad y
-En contraposición a la manifestación Global del 12M: reapropiarse de un espacio público
- Acciones de desobediencia civil: no pagar el metro, no pagar en los supermercados, no pagar el agua, el gas o la luz, la cual es compatible con acciones de desobediencia civil en la red.
- Envío masivo de correos electrónicos/tweets a título individual con un contenido que sea una única frase corta a un objetivo global
- “Acción y Memoria” Propuesta de documentales u otros resúmenes (panfletos, posters, collage) recordando los logros de cada asamblea>región>país

Esta lista no es una imposición, solo son sugerencias, son propuestas que salieron de las asambleas y vuelven a ellas como consultas, para grantizar transparencia y horizontalidad. Esta noche misma hay una reunión (información abajo) donde podemos aclarar dudas y recibir observaciones/aportaciones. Un ehemplo de cómo están trabajando en Madrid:http://actasmadrid.tomalaplaza.net/?p=3078
