Draft call 

Solidarity beyond Borders - Building Democracy from Below

The programs of austerity and privatizations of the Troika determine the lives of millions of people in Europe. Together with the people in Europe the world we resist the rehabilitation of capitalism on the backs of employees as well as unemployed, retirees, migrants and the youth. Together with them we say: "We don't owe, we won't pay!"

While the European Union crisis regime builds more and more borders in order to divide, exploit and oppress us, new transnational movements are arising. We are social-movement activists, altermondialists, migrants, precarious and industry workers, party-members and unionists who want to connect our struggles and powers transnationally. 
During the week before the elections for the European Parliament we call for the spirit of the multitude of these social movements to build real democracy from below. We call for an international week of decentralised action from May 15th to 25th, 2014. Be part of it!

Starting on the symbolic date for the spanish 15M-movement, our focus for strong united, internationally visible action is on the first three days. 
Beyond these days there will be actions in many cities in many countries referring to one another by a broader perspective of an transnational movement for democracy, solidarity and commons. 
Then in autumn we will bundle our strength again not to prevent the new building of the ECB in Francfurt from opening. We invite you to join the action-days! Be creative and participate with your own initiative

Build #Democracy
In times of crisis, we are told, there is no alternative to austerity. 
But People pay, suffer, and die, while banks have been bailed out with billions of €uro. Debt and exploitation, wealth and precarization, are two sides of the same coin. The  authoritarian crisis regime does't represent us. It's true mission -  to serve capital - is  masked by the supposedly ideology-free benchmarks of finance. The crisis cannot be solved by more neoliberal adjustments. It destroys  social rights, cuts social spendings and fixes economic redistribution in favor of capital and of the competition of industrial locations. 
Capitalism is the crisis: poverty is not only the result of unemployment and of unjust decisions enacted by governments, but comes from the transformations accelerated by the crisis, which separated labour and rights. Global capitalism divides rich and poor, migrants and citizens, even citizens and citizens, and exploits our creative and productive forces for profit. Is it freedom to choose between precarity or unemployment? Let us fight for social and economic equality in order to build real democracy from below!

Take over the #Commons
It's time to take over the commons! The wealth we create through our own social cooperation is being expropriated. The extraction of the wealth of our planet is destroying our very livelihood. We all face the consequences of climate change, loss of biodiversity, hazardous waste, pollution and biocide. Likewise our social reproduction as healthcare and housing are objects of speculation. Internal borders are intensified by privatisation, economic and social exclusion. Increasing rents of 15 % and more in german cities are forcing people into homelessness or to move. Hundrets of thousands evictions in Spain are one result of 25 % unemployment rate. While Infant mortality rate increased by 51% in 3 years and 1.5 Million people have no access to healthcare in Greece, hospitals are closed and patient-fees are demanded.Private and state ownership can be overcome by commoning management and access. Examples are Housing projects, social initiatives that resist increasing rents and evistions, and social solidarity clinics. Instead of closing hospitals, kicking people out of their homes, social initiatives out of their places, it's time to organize and take back what is ours! 

Struggle in #Solidarity
Europe is transnational since it is crisscrossed by millions women and men who migrate or flee from their homes looking for better lives thus practicing their freedom of movement. The EU militarises and strengthens racist borders, where thousands die, get beate, and raped. The consequences od colonialism and imperialism force migrants into social subordination, illegality, detention and deportation in order to capitalize their workforce. The extraction of wealth is built upon institutional racism, the externalization of borders and the exploitation of the european periferies by the centres. 
State institutions and governments use prejudices and create fear to obtain privileges. Racism, nationalisms and fascism are fueled by the economic crisis. In the streets migrants, Sinti and Romanies, and homosexuals are attacked. Dangerous alliences are build. For the european elections right-winged parties are expected to win a lot of votes. Let us overcome through our struggles the external and the internal borders of Europe. Racism, Sexism and chauvinism are exploited to divide and weaken us. It's time to overcome borders in solidarity.

Participate to the Week of decentralised action 15th to 25th of May 2014!
