  • Summary and the full report of the 2nd Transnational Open Space Forum: 2013 World Revolution

    from Orsan Senalp on Aug 06, 2013 09:52 AM
    Below summary is being circulated in order to inform you about the 2nd
    Transnational Open Space Forum held on Mumble on 21 July, and the next
    forum that will be held on 22 August.  The perspective is to connect
    our struggles and networks online as well as in the real world in
    order to strengthen each other and continue on the path towards making
    global change real.

    Summary of the 2nd Transnational Mumble Meeting that took place on 21
    July 2013 and was attended by over 50 people from different countries.
    
    We had multiple discussions on how to build a global convergence of
    different movements like Zapatista, Anonymous, students, indigenous
    people, immigrants, African uprisings, Occupy, 15M, Blockupy, Via22,
    Yo Soy132, Chapullers, Change Brazil, movements from India, China so
    on towards 15O and beyond. We imagined a networked, coordinated global
    blockade and asked if we are ready of that? We reflected on how to
    globalise the struggles for free knowledge and privacy, against abuses
    of corporations, government surveillance, police brutality and
    military interventions.
    
    We discussed that 15O worldwide and a feeling that symbolic
    demonstrations are not effective on their own and had brainstorms
    about actions to be planned possibly at the same time all over the
    world. It was expressed that the need to not just make demonstrations,
    but to engage in actions that have real impact on the functioning of
    the system and realise the alternatives we are fighting for with the
    involvement of all the people in the building of the action from the
    beginning. Possible way to engage by starting a collective game.
    
    Boycott and disobedience campaigns are seen as crucial as well in
    order not to give our individual and collective support to their
    system. We talked about the experience of Toqueabankia blockade in
    Spain, the experience of Blockupy Frankfurt (blocking banks,
    deportation airports and unfair shops in Germany; struggles to regain
    the land in order to cultivate; experiences of occupation of empty
    buildings and turning them into shelters and social centres, cultural
    and political events in a very open, participatory, inclusive and
    horizontal way. Examples were:
    
    Alternative and free shops, consumers groups,
    International Boycott campaigns against occupation policies and
    transnational and economic powers
    Actions to stop building of big project like fast train, bridges,
    expo, and others,
    Blocking of infrastructures (digital & physical) in order to stop
    capitalist accumulation; by re-inventing the strike form.
    
    Suggested next steps:
    
    Building a Road to Dignity map, in order to visual the time line
    towards and after the15O,  as a completely  open process where all
    people could join from their local squares  and add all the processes
    being planned (previous maps from 2011 and 2012)
    
    Continue to build-up connections and interest at meetings and events
    leading up to and beyond 15O (see the list of events below)
    
    The Occupy National Gathering Working Group (NGWG) and Via22 proposed
    to have the 3rd Transnational Open Space forum during the
    (Inter)Occupy National Gathering Global Convergence Day on 22 August.
    Besides the Open Space Forum between18.00 PM GMT-22.00 PM GMT there
    will be a round the clock online communication, media and global
    convergences.

    13 – 15 September :  Hub Meeting in Barcelona

    25- 27 October: Frankfurt Blockupy’s European Action Conference
    
    The  Blockupy 2013 days of action were one step on the path towards
    becoming  part of a huge, common European and global movement. We want
    to  continue walking this path together with you: we want to talk
    about our  respective struggles, want to have a strategic debate about
    whether  Blockupy 2014 can be a common point of crystallisation, how
    we can  develop our collective strength, how to intervene into the
    situation,  how to create practical opportunities. To discuss all
    this, to make it  happen together with our friends, colleagues and
    comrades from all over  Europe, we therefore invite you a European
    Action Conference in  Frankfurt on the weekend October 25th to 27th.
    We want to have lively  discussions about strategies and approaches,
    want to kick off an  international and participatory European
    preparatory process for the  Blockupy mobilisation and against the
    planned opening of the new ECB in  2014.

  • Re: Summary and the full report of the 2nd Transnational Open Space Forum: 2013 World Revolution

    from Sol Trumbo Vila on Aug 06, 2013 03:40 PM
    Thank you Orsam for the update.
    
    There are indeed many initiatives going on worldwide, with huge 
    potential to converge.
    
    The actions for 15O look promising, there is need for new and 
    innovative forms of actions where the broad public can engage.
    
    I also wonder what are the specific political demands we aim to 
    achieve, we have not had deep discussions in this regard. This is very 
    important in order to overcome the feeling that many have that 
    movilization is not effective.
    
    I think that definitely movilization has effect, but for many they only 
    feel repression and get frustated.
    
    I will do my best to be there the 22nd.
    
    Best wishes,
    
    Sol

      from Orsan Senalp on Aug 13, 2013 01:12 PM
      Thanks Sol, and sorry for late reply. Yes indeed ther are many spaces
      of solidairty have built and they are growing, All these spaces, ties,
      links ad nodes the ideas and aprroaches they put forward in order to
      alter the world radically and build new ones which are just,
      inspiring, based on eqality, sharing, caring and solidairty are
      valuable. And also we need to connecte and contribute to converge
      them. That would be great if you can make it on the 222nd and invite
      others from your networks.
      in golbal solidairty, orsan
