Building
Europe: From
The Netherlands to Atyhens by bike (cycling to Athens)
On
apr 24th after one hour looking for ann address in Linz, we finally
could find a place to stay with Felix and family through couch
surfing (thank you!). Very nice place and a relaxing evening. The
next day, we took the bike the next day and later on in the evening
under beautiful weather we found a place on the shore of the Danube.
Today
afternoon arrived in Melk. Beautiful buildings. We will rest here
because our knees hurt for riding against the harsh wind of bikes
..the roads are quite flat and we are also happy that all the gravel
roads are over.
3- International
Rise
up on May 12th, 2012 - We are the 99%
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!

Bologna
Our
comrades are ready to perform a direct action at the headquarters of
the Pam on Via Marconi on May. We can read his manifesto on their
website.
http://santainsolvenza.noblogs.org/post/2012/04/27/globalmay1st-il-primo-maggio-precario-ore-9-davanti-alla-pam-di-via-marconi/
The
heading of the message goes as follows
First
of May? First of all, a day when we do-not-w-o-r-k.
Simple
concept, at least in appearance. Yet, in Bologna, while trade unions
celebrate together happily, many companies will compel the workers
and employees to work on that day like any other by blackmailing them
and leveraging their insecurity and their need for income.
18 – Worldwide
- creative activism
