Perchè un altro mondo è possibile

Premise

 The world scenery at this moment is made by deep ininjustices. 20% of the global population , especially in  in the nort of  world, uses 80% of  the resources of the whole planet. Eleven millions children die each year for malnutrition; 1300 millions of people have less than one dollar per day for living and,even much more don’t have even access to the foundamental rights granted by Onu. For all of these reasons millions of people leave their lands looking for better life conditions in our rich conutries. The situation, instead of getting better, is getting worse and worse.

Have you ever heard about: crazy cow, products genetically modified, unbreathable air, oil in the sea, children exploitation, armed banks, financial  speculations, camp for refugees (government’s lager?) and humanitarian bombs? Us as well, we are unawares responsible of these inequalities, because each time we buy something we decide which world we want; that is to say the one made by governments dominated by multinational. For  us

A different world is possible.

Us, habitants of this world, we are going to Genova for the summit of G8. The international importance of this conference symbolizes a big challenge for all  those organization that have been working since a long time for stating – with different methods and different priorities – the princicples of  social fairness, of solidarity and fair development.The attention of a growing international movement has been focusing on the multinational organisms, that they will not be able anymore to decide in completly autonomy, because now it existes a more and more attentive population that have been asking for democratic trial and new view of social and economical justice.

Us associations and free citizens we are going to Genova by bycicle. The reasons that drive us to this choice are several: the use of alternative means of trasport (don’t you remeber the famous“ Sundays withou car”?),  the choice about how to spend our free time and holidays. We will spend together a whole week of fights from the dawn to the sunset, or maybe later,  for a demonstration with a proper information and amusement, a demostration that  will be 250 kms long. There aren’t any frontiers that will stop us. (may be the PO?!)

Someone called this demonstration “ the jubilee of  squatters”.Our intention is instead to involve more people as possible: the amateur cyclists, the sport associations, the groups interested in environment, the students, Italian and foreign families. A big peacefull party that passes through Lombardia for getting to Genova  Ther will be 4 stage of 50 kms each.

We want to use a famous statement of zapatist and of the mothers in Plaza de Mayo

The only fight that you can lose, it is the one that you give up.
