A Global Action Day for Education will take place on the 30th Nov to protest and resist neoliberal reforms (especially within the education sector). Students of the world unite!
Hello activists!
Everywhere in the world, social conditions become ever more precarious. Everything is to be subjected to the forces of the market. More and more parts of life are handled as goods, as for example health, social security and education. However, the resistance movements all over the world are constantly growing.
For about a year, world-wide revolts break out. In France, students as well as other social forces managed to force the government take back a law - a law to losen the protection of newly empoyed (CPE) - that was already passed. In Greece, students occupied almost all universities across the country and repelled privatisation to a large extent. In Chile, pupils (hundreds of thousands) recently resisted a school law from the Pinochet dictatorship. In Mexico the teachers' union together with many other social groups formed the 'Popular Assembly of the Peoples of Oaxaca' (APPO), which is still keeping the province capital Oaxacas 'occupied' - for many months already. In Germany, students blockade motorways, train stations and university buildings in order to prevent tuition fees. All these events make clear that the 'loser of globalization' are fighting back.
For us the Global Action Day on 30 November is an opportunity to point out the global connections between individual struggles and the global neoliberal development. We want to resist in a confident and emancipated way, promote solidarity and fight for free education and world-wide justice. Therefore we call people (especially students) around the world to take part in creative and decisive forms of resistance: Actions for the reappropriation of public areas, from which we are excluded increasingly, will be the ours again for that day.
We don’t pay for what is ours! Reclaim the Streets!
Take part: Gobal Action Day on 30 November 2006!
We hope to be able to get people protest against neoliberal reforms (especially within the education sector) all over the world at the same time!
This is a global problem - so it requires global resistance!
Protests take place around the world already (Greece, Italy, Spain, German, USA, Canada, Zimbabwe, Costa Rica...), but we need to fight together to build up more pressure!
