[My apologies to send this to the list, but this protest began as a project for free culture in Spain, that expanded until taking the streets... and it's very much inspired by the Arab revolutions]
Hey there, Due to the recent events happening in Spain (check [*] in the bottom, if you are not aware), claiming for a "real democracy now", we have been very busy lately, some in ground, others helping online to spread the "camps" to other countries. I'm contacting you because we want to send our message to individuals and collectives abroad, now that there is momentum. There are already camps and supporting protests in many places: http://www.thetechnoant.info/campmap/ However, many of them are just Spanish people in support of the Spanish uprising, and not locals claiming for their local problems. Still, we are seeing how local movements are spreading in Portugal and Italy. We are seeing an opportunity for these protests to keep spreading all over Europe and beyond, and maybe, maybe, reach weight for a real change, in some scale. Thus, please, we ask you to spread this email (to friends locally and abroad) and, if possible, collaborate editing/translating this draft call: http://openetherpad.org/call-realdemoc-everywhere<http://openetherpad.org/N2uAwXwa6B> And spreading, editing or following this list of tips: http://openetherpad.org/mBjROT3gYs If you have technical skills, we are organizing here: http://openetherpad.org/WJpNLYMwDM The draft website that is being built with this info is: http://takethesquare.net/ If you are too busy for helping, we insist: please, forward this information to those you think might be interested, asap. Waiting a few days might be critical to lose momentum, so we should move quickly. Cheers!
