A call to whoever is interested (people and organizations).

We are setting the lake on fire ("le feu au lac") as a protest against the G8.

The G8, including Russia, will have its meeting in Evian starting the 31st of May. Numerous initiatives and projects are being worked on. We are calling on everyone to perform a small thing that can have both a unifying and popular impact as well as a profound media and symbolic significance : Saturday the 31st of May in begining of the evening, we could light up fires that would symbolized resistance and hope against the current world order and that, in as many places as possible.

Therefore all around Lac Leman in French as well as Swiss territories, groups of people would organize a town, city or neighbourhood fire that would light up all at the same time, in the begining of the evening.

Indeed the idea is to suround Evian and the G8 with this demonstration. Fires could come with local decentralized picnics and parties.

We feel that we need to stress out the symbolic importance of the very big outreach that such a demonstration can have. It can unify, despite differences in opinions, all people that are against inhuman globalization that we are witnessing today.

We have already contacted people and collectives that are interested in our proposition. We need to create and put in place "fire groups" that will prepare such a demo as fast as possible.

We therefore ask you if you are interested in this idea, to sign this public call.

On our side we are commited to set up a first meeting to organize the coordination of this activity.

We hope to see you at this demonstration to set the "lake on fire".
