Joint mobilizations and European-level coordinated actions
NOTE: October2011 encourages local solidarity actions around the country starting on October 15. For people in states that are far from DC such as the West and Hawaii, solidarity actions are welcome at any time starting October 6 onward. Thank you.
15th of October:
Explicit support for the 15th of October mobilization by the ATTAC Europe network. This will be a day of coordinated action where each national ATTAC group decides what concrete actions they will take for the mobilizations. The following have already decided to mobilize: ATTAC Germany, ATTAC France, ATTAC Belgium (will also organise an action for the arrival of the Indignant March in Brussels), ATTAC Finland, ATTAC Portugal. As well as an action organised by the full European network in Berlin, as was decided in our last meeting in Greece (Tribunal against the Euro-crisis in Berlin with alternative proposals to the current policies). The ATTAC Europe network gives maximum priority to this action, to the actions of the 1st of October, and to the mobilization against the G20 (see below), to be used as milestones in the process of strengthening the joint effort to really work on a European scale in a much closer and coordinated way.
ATTAC is an international organization involved in the alter-globalization movement. ATTAC opposes neo-liberal globalization and develops social, ecological, and democratic alternatives so as to guarantee fundamental rights for all. Specifically, it fights for the regulation of financial markets, the closure of tax havens, the introduction of global taxes to finance global public goods, the cancellation of the debt of developing countries, fair trade, and the implementation of limits to free trade and capital flows.
Movilizaciones conjuntas y actos coordinados a nivel europeo
15 de octubre: Apoyo explícito a la movilización por parte de la Red ATTAC Europa. Se tratará de un día de acción coordinada, en el que cada ATTAC nacional decidirá mediante qué actos concretos se moviliza. Tienen ya decidido movilizarse ATTAC Alemania, ATTAC Francia, ATTAC Bélgica (organizará acto también para recibir a la marcha de los Indignados a Bruselas), ATTAC Finlandia y ATTAC Portugal. Además, tendrá lugar un acto organizado por toda la red europea en Berlín conforme a lo decidido en nuestra última reunión en Grecia (tribunal contra la eurocrisis en Berlín con propuesta de alternativas a las políticas actuales). La Red ATTAC Europa otorga máxima prioridad a este acto, al del 1 de octubre y a la movilización contra el G20 (veáse abajo), que se utilizarán como hitos en el proceso de reforzar el trabajo conjunto para trabajar realmente a escala europea de forma mucho más estrecha y coordinada.
ATTAC es una organización internacional implicada en el movimiento antiglobalización. ATTAC se opone a la globalización neoliberal, y desarrolla alternativas sociales, ecológicas y democráticas para garantizar los derechos fundamentales de todos. Específicamente, lucha por la regulación de los mercados financieros, el cierre de los paraísos fiscales, la introducción de tasas globales a las transacciones financieras, los servicios públicos, la cancelación de la deuda de los países en desarrollo, el comercio justo, y la implementación de límites al comercio justo y la circulación de capitales.
