CALL for the NATIONAL SOCIAL FORUM of the BANLIEUES
22nd to 24th June, 2007, Paris


Our estates have become an easy target for media-hungry politicians and
their sound-bite slurs: the 'lost territories of the Republic' are
'no-go areas' populated by 'irresponsible parents' and people drifting
into 'Mafia-like' or 'radical Islamic' activities. The most stigmatised
are the youth. They have become scapegoats for society's ills. It costs
little to mouth civic values while violently exposing the 'scum' and the
'savages' to public condemnation.

The suburbs have been made into a special law and order issue, in the
hands of the police and courts. And yet in all the revolts we have seen,
from the Minguettes (1981) to Vaulx-en-Velin (1990), from
Mantes-la-Jolie (1991) to Sartrouville (1991), from Dammarie-les-Lys
(1997) to Toulouse (1998), from Lille (2000) to Clichy sous Bois (2005),
the message has been clear :

We've had enough of unpunished police murders and brutality, of police
checks based merely on skin colour, enough of 'sink' schools, of
unsanitary housing, of systematic unemployment and underemployment,
enough of prisons, of humiliation and oppression! We have become almost
immune to the silence of millions of men and women suffering daily from
acts of social violence, much more devastating than a burning car.

It is our right to revolt against the social order.
