EURO MAYDAY (LONDON Call) - A Eurowide rebellion for a life of dignity
When? Sunday May 1st, MAYDAY
Where? 30 cities all over Europe
What? Street Parades, actions, reclamations
MAYDAY is International workers day, born out of the struggle for an 8 hour working day in 1886. Over 100 years later our lives are still taken up by the world of work. Even more so as the work generated by Capitalism
has become more flexible with casualisation (temporary contracts, flex time, part time, no time!) forcing us to adapt to the point where it's hard to tell when, where or even if we are working.
Around Europe people call this new working and living condition "precarity" and over the past few years the EUROMAYDAY parade has been growing in Europe, attracting thousands of angry temps, pissed off part timers, immigrants, sex workers, unemployed and casualised onto the streets to demand new social rights.
We propose, in London on 1st Mayday 2005, to actively encourage & organise creative action in the commercialised areas once common land, in the supermarkets where our life is spent working and consuming, in the expensive restaurants where we are excluded from, the shopping districts, the airwaves, the cinemas, transport. Mayday 2005 will be a free day where we choose what we want to do and collectively attempt to achieve it. This may be only one day but we have whole lives to reclaim. What better day to start than MAYDAY!
We meet and plan 7.30pm every Wednesday @ Institute For Autonomy, 76-78 Gower Street, London WC1E

Believe me I do understand your 'sodding London' sentiment, but if we want things to happen outside London, then we are going to have to spend a bit more time plotting, building, organising and mobilising and call some actions outside London eh? And yes, for a while they will be very badly attended too, but it takes time to build a movement so lets get to work comrade!
If its any consolation, the next Resist G8 Southeast assembly is being held outside London, in Reading, that vacuum of revolutionary activity!!! :) April 3rd, 1.30-6.00, RISC, London Street, see ya there!*
*shameless plug, sorry! :)
