2011 was a year that we will never forget, the year in which it exploded a
variety of movements in different territories against the  debt-economic
governance, the suspension and deprivation of our rights through the shock
doctrine imposed by financial markets, and the consequent material and
existential precariousness of our lives.
 
Along this cycle of insurrection, from Iceland to the latest upheavals in
Russia and Hungary and in these days in Spain, it has become evident the
advanced state of decomposition of European political systems and their
mechanisms of representation (there is none!), As well as their
subservience to the capitalist command (save the people not the banks!)
 
Since the first edition of the Hub Meeting in Barcelona we have seen
changes of government, new bailouts of the banking system, the increase in
violence policies of austerity, and the constitutionalization of neoliberal
principles in several European countries which prefer to pay the debt to
private than to care the basic needs of citizens.
 
But we have also seen how our practices and this desire for
re-appropriation of our lives and the common wealth, has spread virally,
infecting millions of people around the world and facilitate the emergence
of new movements.
 
The day of mobilization and action of October 15  was the proof. The first
global mobilization 2.0 has shown the power of the masses who want this
reappropriation, unafraid to fight for new forms of democratic governance,
free from the domination of capitalist command.
 
Despite the diversity of movements, everyone shares the rejection of the
austerity policies as an output from an economic and political crisis. How
to tell her friends and fellow Greek: "We must not, we do not pay, we do
not sell!"
 
But what is more important, we share the desire to re-appropriation of our
lives and property and wealth through common ownership and their management
in common, and ultimately the desire for true democracy in the service of
the municipality.
 
That is why as collective participants to  the network Hub Meeting we call
for  a gathering in Milan - in the days between March 30 and April 1 – the
networks and independent and autonomous movements-; we want, all together, 
go on building a new political imaginary, as we did in Barcelona.
 
An imaginary, which has to do with the need to re-appropriation of
political, economic and social governance, through a democratic radicalism
and a new bill of rights - including the right to bankruptcy, the
unconditional basic income, free mobility for everyone and no-border
restrictions for migrants, freedom and neutrality of the network, free and
effective access to goods and common wealth.
 
It will also be at the same time an open space to build a shared
imagination of the forms and actions of the global fight coming days:
MayDAy 1st, 12 and May 15, 17-18-19, 2012.

We're ready to promote the 20 days which will change Europe and the World.

Join us.

THe garhering tribe of all alternative Europe.

On Sunday, during the plenary, connection with Direct Action MayDay,
Occupy Wall Street, New York and with Greek Movements comrades.
