NYers Plan Vibrant Week of Anti-Austerity Events ANOTHER CITY IS POSSIBLE, ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE

Continuing to shift the discussion from austerity to economic inequality, Occupy Wall Street and dozens of NY-based organizations join global days of action, May 10th-15thBeginning on May 10th and culminating on May 15th in a mass convergence at Times Square, NYC organizations and individuals from all across the city will join together in action around the many issues we face: from cuts in social services, to an austerity agenda that redistributes your tax revenue into private hands, to the financial institutions (that we bailed out) that continue to make record profits at our expense. Actions on May 12th and 15th are in conjunction with global calls for action–coinciding with coordinated protests across Europe and the Mediterranean. Watch the video here.

MAY 12TH GlobalMay Statement

We are living in a world controlled by forces that are no longer capable to give freedom and dignity to the world´s population (if they were ever capable to do so). A world where it is told to us that there are no alternatives to the loss of rights, achieved with very hard and long struggles by previous generations.

We find ourselves in a world in which success is opposed to essential values of humanity, such as solidarity and mutual support. Moreover, anything that does not promote competitiveness, selfishness and greed is seen as dysfunctional. This immoral ideology is reinforced by the monopoly of the mainstream media, the instruments that create the necessary consensus around this unfair and unsustainable system.

But we have not remained silent. Our consciousness has awaken, and have joined to a wave of collective consciousness which is spreading light in every corner of the world. From Tunisia to Tahrir Square, from Madrid to Reijkiavik, from New York to Brussels, people have risen up in the Arab Spring, in the dignity of Iceland, in the wrath of 15M or the Occupation of Wall Street. Together we have denounced the current situation of the world. Our effort has served to state that enough is enough, and it has begun to push changes forward worldwide.

Help us break the media silence about M1

Towards Frankfurt – “Europe in line for catastrophe”

Europe in line for catastrophe

With the arrival of Monti on the scene, approval of the Fiscal Compact and the second tranche of aid for Greece the storm sweeping Europe since the spring of 2010 and the most indebted countries, the so-called PIIGS (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain) appeared to have abated. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The danger focused on insolvency for Greece, still deferring the certainty of default, shifted to Portugal and Spain and persistent warnings are continuing to keep Italy on guard as well.

Updates from Portugal for #12m15m

MAY12

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/
