26 March: Cut the war not our education! Rome/London

UniCommon | 25.03.2011 16:58 | Education

The Faculty of Arts University of La Sapienza -Rome is now occupied in
solidarity to London struggle!
Moreover on the 26th of March italian students will be in London, to
block the city together with English students.

UniCommon will be there
with those are fighting against the rising fees and european
austerity. It will not be a demo like the others: it is a european
day of struggle launched in London on 30th of January, a common day
after month of resistance.
We have learnt to block the city through the savage demos in Paris
during the NoCPE movement of 2006, while in London students have build
up book-shields like us in Rome last year. This amazing sharing of
practice bring us to London on side by side to Puerto Rico,
Wisconsin's students and Maghreb people.
We want to go to London to say clearly to the English Government, as
well as to the Italian's one, that the only cuts we like are those on
army and war! Cut the war not our education!
At the same time we are organizing a huge demonstration in Rome to
support "Common goods" as energy, knowledge and water, we will block
the city and make actions to support UK mobilization starting from
now: we have occupied the Faculty of Arts, La Sapienza University,
Rome!

26 March: Meeting point is at P.le Aldo Moro, University La Sapienza, Rome.


----------------------------

El 26 de marzo los estudiantes italianos se ponen en marcha hacia
Londres, para bloquear la ciudad juntos con los estudiantes de Londres
UniCommon decidió estar presente, junto con aquellos que están
luchando en contra de un aumento en las tasas de matrícula y contra
las medidas de austeridad en Europa. El 26 de marzo no es un
acontecimiento como los demás: es un día europeo de lucha lanzado en
Londres el 30 de enero, un día de todos, construido a través de estos
meses de lucha.
 
Hemos aprendido a bloquear la ciudad gracias al
movimiento contra el CPE enParís en 2006, en Londres han construido
libros escudos como se hizo en Roma en diciembre, es esta increíble
circulacion de las luchas y de las prácticas que nos ha llevado a
Londres, y nos pone al lado de los estudiantes de Puerto Rico, New
York y con los compañeros del Magreb.
Llegamos a Londres para decir
muy claramente, tanto al gobierno Inglés que al gobierno italiano,
que es posible cortar solo el gasto militar! Cut the war not our
education!
El mismo día en Roma está organizada una grande manifestación para los
bienes comunes como la energía, el agua, el saber, donde iremos a
bloquear la ciudad y haremos acciones en apoyo de las protestas
británicas.

Nos vemos en P.le Aldo Moro, Universidad La Sapienza, Roma.

About Book Bloc project:

Knowledge is Power: Let's arm ourselves!!
We protect ourselves from the dismissal of knowledge by creating book-
shields, arming in cooperation, between a book and the other. We
occupied squares, monuments, streets, schools and universities. We
defended ourselves from the clashes of police, we spoke different
languages, different stories. But a thing unites us, behind the
shields: rage, because ignorance is not neutral. We face an attack to
our desire by the governments of half Europe, in the name of an
unprecedented austerity. We must defend ourselves.
Plexus, Nexus...Book Bloc: we are in Rome, London, Cairo, Tunis,
Wisconsin, Puerto Rico...We've been in the struggles, changing them,
subverting their national borders and their grammar. UniCommon starts
from the beginning beyond the national space. The Book Bloc project is
born immediately in the striated space of borders, in its unbearable
segmentations within the university, the knowledge, our bodies.
National borders are like disciplines: they must be destroyed!
