On mayday, we want to party, act
and protest against precarity, the most crucial and burning social issue in europe today and widespread work and life condition for millions and millions of europeans. We demand social equality for all, the end of labor precarization and all forms of flexploitation. We want freedom of movement for migrants and income security as concrete and possible answers to two decades of mutations in labor market and job profiles. We fight for generalized access to housing and mobility, free download and free upload for all, freely available and sharable culture and information. We practice freedom of expression and dissent, we participate in social and labor conflict, we build media to unmask the corporate or state-sponsored version.
Last year, Euromayday parades drew more than 200 000 precarious people of all sorts and brought protest actions against precarity and other forms of labor and social domination in the streets of a dozen of EU cities. Why did we do it?
Because we are précaires, precari, precari@s: we are the unemployed, women and the young, the casualized, we are intermittent workers, students, stagiares, migrants, net/temp/flex workers, we are the contortionists of flexibility and survivors of precarity gathered from dozens of collectives in our cities and through a transeuropean network to defend our collective social rights and claim new ones.
We have no trust or faith in those who, at the leadership of governments, unions, political parties, or cultural institutions, pretend to speak in our name and take decisions for us and our lives, while ignoring our demands and repressing pratices of social transformation. We will parade on mayday to reclaim our lives and fight against workfare or other authoritarian solutions to inequality and welfare crisis. We want to create with our conflicts a new welfare system and a more horizontal, democratic society, where immaterial, service, affective, flexible work is not subjected to pitiless exploitation, blackmail flexibility, existential impossibilty. Nobody wants to be sentenced to the same job for life. But nobody wants to spends her whole day wondering how to land the next check or pay the next bill, while juggling three jobs. We want life-affirming social equality, not subservient, discriminative employment. We want to sever the link between welfare and employment, and between welfare and citizenship, as conditions to create truly democratic, libertarian, and egalitarian polities in the age of war-making globalization.
For this and obviousy a lot more, we invite you at the press conference to present the EURO MAYDAY 006, this friday, april 14th 2006. Activists against precarity will come from all over europe to tell their struggles, projects and cross-alliances, their predicament in securitarian and inegalitarian europe and what they're fighting for.
At the end: Surprise! Surprise! Easter chicks and rabbits will be released from their cages and participate ia a great Easter-egg treasure hunt, to liberate the capital of Europe from the social bird flu spread upon loudly recalcitrant european populations by the Barroso commission and its corporate-friendly policies.
By the way, how come he's still at his place, he and the ritzy others, after having lost two referendums?
