JOINING FORCES FOR COMMON EUROPE<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Our Democracy instead of Their Austerity<\/p>\n

Social organizations, social movements, trade unions and citizens working against austerity and debt, for natural and social commons, for social and labour rights, for democracy, global justice and peace, for gender issues and migrant rights have gathered in Florence 10+10.<\/p>\n

We call for a European permanent mobilization to support the fights against the crisis and build a future for everyone in Europe and in the world. This mobilization will include both convergence and decentralizes actions.<\/p>\n

The first unifying initiative towards a European-wide convergence is the General strikes and mobilisations against austerity in many countries in Europe on the 14 of November 2012.<\/p>\n

We propose to have a common day of action on the occasion of the EU Spring Summit, which will take place in Brussels on March 23rd. The format and final call for this common mobilization will be discussed and agreed in the following months in an open and participatory process.<\/p>\n

We call for endorsement of the following actions and mobilizations<\/p>\n
