Mobilisation for G20 in London
European Meeting on G20 Mobilisation in London release Declaration A large group Civil Society Organisations met last weekend in Paris to discuss the current systemic crisis in Financial Capitalism and discuss mobilisation for the G20 meeting in London at the beginning of April.
One idea which was bandied about was the possibility of occupying banks in order to illustrate that we, the public, now own most of them. The bail-out packages offered to Irish Banks - above all to Anglo-Irish Bank - as well as Ireland's status as a "tax haven" for Multi-nationals, mean that we have quite a big bone to pick with not just the banks, but our government.
A well-planned and coordinated occupation of Banks all over Ireland on the same day, at the same time, would certainly raise eyebrows in the Media and would without doubt express some of the frustration the public feel in the current crisis - and for that reason meet with significant public support.
Below is the "Paris Declaration" which was released to build support for action, specifically on the 28th of March (mobilisations) and the 1st of April (for coordinated direct action).
The Paris Declaration
We won`t pay for your crises – it is time for change!
More than 150 representatives of trade unions, farmers’ movements, global justice groups, environmental groups, development groups, migrants’ groups, faith-based groups, women’s groups, the have-not movements, student and youth groups, and anti-poverty groups from all over Europe gathered on the 10th and 11th of January 2009 in Paris to analyse collectively the current crises, to develop joint strategies and to discuss joint demands and alternatives in response to these crises.
As the financial and the economic crises intensify, millions of women and men are losing their jobs, houses and livelihoods. Tens of millions more are forecast to join the 1.4 billion people already living in extreme poverty. The crises worsen the social, ecological, cultural and political situation of the majority of people on our planet. Despite the evident and foreseeable failure of the current economic model, world leaders are responding by trying to preserve the system that is responsible for the crises. Governments have been quick to bail out bankers, corporate share holders and their financial backers with hundreds of billions in public money. To solve the problem, they put into place bankers and heads of corporations: the same actors that created the crises.
The workers, the jobless, the poor – all those affected have received no help in their daily struggle to make ends meet, and to cap it all, they are now supposed to pay the bill. Governments´ proposals to deal with the unfolding economic crisis do not address the other dimensions of the crisis we face today – global justice, food, climate and energy – and with it the need to transform the economic system towards one that allows us to satisfy the basic needs of all people, to implement all human rights and to restore and preserve the ecological basis of life on our planet. It is time for change!
We can build a system that works for people and the environment, a system to serve the needs of the many, a system based on the principles of public benefit, global equity, justice, environmental sustainability and democratic control. As a first step, immediate measures must be implemented to address the social impacts on people, whilst supporting the ecological conversion of the economy. We call upon all social movements in Europe to engage in a process of change. To start with, we call upon
Movements
- to engage in the mass mobilisation for the central demonstration in London on the 28th of March 2009 ahead of the G20 meeting, or to take to the streets in their own countries that same day to make their voices heard. 20 governments cannot decide on the future of the global financial system and economy.
- to undertake a day of action in the week of the G20 meeting, preferably on the 1st of April (Financial Fools' Day) all across the world, exposing unaccountable financial power and promoting democratic control of finance.
This meeting is a further step in a long-term process of building spaces for European networks to meet. Recognising and drawing on previous and future mobilisations of social movements and civil society organizations in Europe and all over the world, it builds on ongoing efforts developed at the European Social Forum and elsewhere, aimed at realising a democratic and socially and environmentally sustainable Europe.
We commit to intensify cooperation and communication among our networks and organisations with the aim of building capacity for sustained mobilisation and the development of joint alternatives. We are committed to supporting and encouraging all people to have their voices heard in reshaping their societies. We will meet again on the 18th and 19th of April 2009 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, in order to develop the next steps of mobilisation and strategies towards change.
We call upon all social movements and social organisations to join this process.
