from the Self Organized University Collective, Naples, Italy: 29 June 2009: "They said we wouldn't have the heart to be there. But we always have the heart to be on the side of those who are struggling and suffering.

In those days we are going to be shaking the streets. We are going to be part of the national march on the 10th of July, to bring out our reasons, those of the oppressed and fighting populations. To show that we have not bended, to ruin their parade. We have grown up but the future is still ours! See you in L'Aquila... more

Through the workshops in the festival you can get familiar with topics such as basics of anarchism and anarcha-feminism. There will be a couple of workshops on anarchist parenting and unschooling.

Our analysis is not limited only to human relations. It also includes our relationships with non-human beings. Our aim is to strengthen critical views and empowerment in the form of taking control of our lives. Kill the police within!..." more

from friends, 12 June 2009: "Earth First! gathering - first details & location announced - book your travel! Never has halting the destruction of our planet been so important… Learn how to make them stop! Earth First! is a network of people and campaigns who fight ecological destruction and the forces driving it. We believe in doing it ourselves rather than relying on governments or industry.

from email, updated 27 June 2009: "Directions to camp and workshop programme +++ NoBorders calls for a world without papers, where everyone lives where they choose. The route of the demo is the reverse of the walk that many migrants in Calais make on a daily basis - from Coquelles, where they are detained, to the lighthouse, where there is a daily food distribution.

We call on all individuals and groups that struggle for the rights of migrants to sign this call and mobilise for the demo. The demo is part of a NoBorder camp that is taking place in Calais from 23rd to 29th June. The demo will start at 10am from the lighthouse on Boulevard des Alliés..." more

from various sources, 18 May 2009: "In Bristol and surrounds, a diverse bunch of enraged creative, dreamers and schemers, builders and gardeners, workers, students and unemployed have been drawn together by the common threads of our indignation at how a combination of corporate greed, social injustice and environmental degradation is leading us all towards climate chaos and financial collapse.

We invite you to converge on Bristol for an uprising of autonomous actions and events from 12th – 20th of September 2009... more

from klimaatactiekamp, 16 May 2009: "The camp is a place for anyone who's fed up with empty government rhetoric and corporate spin; for anyone who's worried that the small steps they're taking aren't enough to match the scale of the problem; for anyone who thinks present climate policies are only increasing inequalities and injustices; and for anyone who's worried about our future and wants to do something about it. It is not only a place for experienced activists, but also for all those who are interested, who want to learn more, and are looking for ways to become active..." more

from email, 2 April 2009: "Since the end of the last millennium a modification of the "security architecture" within the EU takes place, which have been accelerated by the attacks of 11 September 2001 in the United States. Visible phenomena are for example the entanglement of internal and external security, a "pooling" of prosecution authorities and intelligence sevices and a simplified data exchange..." more

from email, updated 19 June 2009: "In the last few years the island of Lesvos has represented one of the main entrance gate for thousands of refugees and migrants seeking to reach Europe... More than 1.100 migrants and refugees have lost their lives that way in Aegean sea the last 20 years...

from email, updated 11 January 2009: "Social movements, environmental groups, and scientists from all over the world are calling for urgent and radical action on climate change. On the 30th of November, 2009 the governments of the world will come to Copenhagen for the fifteenth UN Climate Conference (COP-15). This will be the biggest summit on climate change ever to have taken place. Yet, previous meetings have produced nothing more than business as usual. There are alternatives to the current course that is emphasizing false solutions such as market-based approaches and agrofuels. If we put humanity before profit and solidarity above competition we can live amazing lives without destroying our planet..."  more
