This is an invitation to all to take part! On Thursday, June 19, we will kick-off at 16h with a discussion at Free University of Berlin (organized by various student groups): *THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT US: Precarity, Youth Unemployment and Protest in Europe* <https://www.facebook.com/events/308022606024001/?ref=22>, together with speakers from DinamoPress, Fundación de los Comunes (invited), Global Project, and Interventionistische Linke: On Saturday, June 20, the* International Coordinating Meeting of the Blockupy coalition* will take place from 11-17h (invitation copied below), which will include an international evaluation of May of Solidarity, discussion about Turin and planning towards the Day X mobilization to the "Non-Opening" of the new ECB tower in Frankfurt. In the evening on Saturday, the *Launch Discussion of "The Commune of Europe <http://www.thecommuneofeurope.org/>"* text will take place, together with comrades from Krytyka Polityczna, DinamoPress, Beyond Europe (Ums Ganze and Alpha Kappa), Fundación de los Comunes (invited), Allt åt alla, and interventionistische Linke - and hopefully many others: https://www.facebook.com/events/286151601563955/ If anyone wishes to join and needs a place to stay in Berlin, we can of course organize it. Also, hopefully the opportunity created by the fact that many people will be in Berlin during this time can also be used to discuss the very welcome developments towards a possible next Agora99 in Istanbul - as well as to create stronger links between plans for a next Agora99 and other events/mobilizations/activities in the meantime, including Blockupy and Turin. We look forward to seeing many of you. In solidarity, Kelly *Invitation to the 3rd European wide coordinating meeting for Blockupy 2014 * Saturday, June 21st 2014, 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. Mehringhof, Gneisenaustr. 2a, Berlin-Kreuzberg (in the 2nd backyard, closest subways: U7 or U6 at Mehringdamm, see also: http://www.mehringhof.de/ or http://www.berlin.de/stadtplan/?ADR_ZIP=10961&ADR_CITY=Berlin&ADR_STREET=Gneisenaustr.&ADR_HOUS E=2A&ADR_INFO=Mehringhof+-+Versammlungsraum&show <http://www.berlin.de/stadtplan/?ADR_ZIP=10961&ADR_CITY=Berlin&ADR_STREET=Gneisenaustr.&ADR_HOUSE=2A&ADR_INFO=Mehringhof+-+Versammlungsraum&show>=) Dear All, the “May of Solidarity” is over with actions, marches, assemblies in many European cities and regions. With “May of Solidarity” we made a crucial step for connecting networks and movements – not only because we succeeded in linking various social struggles under a common call, we also succeeded in developing new threads for common action in different location. And, we shouldn’t forget about this, we came to that agreement of de-/ centralized European Action Days before the European elections different movement conventions across Europe. While “May of Solidarity” can stand in its own right (see the final statement at www.mayofsolidarity.org), we also saw and see it as step for building a movement of movements, for transnationalizing our efforts and alliances for building a transnational space of action with common goals, locations, mobilizations. With this upcoming meeting of the “European wide coordination meeting for Blockupy 2014” on June 21st in Berlin we wish to - develop and decide on our next steps + mobilizations - evaluate how we function as an alliance and in building a European-wide coordinating structure - elaborate on our political threads through indepth debate - think through the next practical meeting points on the streets (as Torino...) and prepare for an European wide mobilization to “Day X” to disturb the ECB opening in fall in Frankfurt. It is time to evaluate how we’ve done so far and to get serious with next common plans. It is necessary to coordinate our collectives, networks, struggles and movements in as concrete ways as possible – and to meet physically for that for a day. Potentially this coordination shall somehow be able to represent our struggles and make it bigger. We want to coordinate and for a movement of movements in construction, we need to network and build up common plans and actions. Thus, this next Blockupy 2014 coordinating meeting to Berlin, June 21st from 11 a.m. to 5.p.m. However, if you can’t make it to Berlin, please join us via web-conference from 12 to 2 p.m with inputs for the political evaluation. - Please let us know in advance whether you or your network wants to particpate in the web-conference, you’ll get the instructions then. - If you plan on coming, please let us know, also whether you need solidarity accomodation (until June 15th) - And whether you will be in Berlin or join us in the web-conference, please prepare with questions, evalutions, topics from your networks - There will be a public discussion on “The commune of Europe” ( http://www.thecommuneofeurope.org/) organized by GP and iL Saturday night, it might be worthwhile to stay overnight! Details will follow soon. For all questions/answers please write to [email protected] and/or send an email to the international Blockupy mailing list at [email protected] (to subscribe, send an empty email to [email protected]).
