We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

For joint actions around the Greek elections, and for large Euro-Mediterranean’s mobilizations in autumn 2012!

This is a call to action organized by the International Citizen debt Audit Network (ICAN). We must meet the challenge of the international financial oligarchs for control of our societies everywhere in the world.
...the neoliberal steamroller has not yet been stopped, and it is high time for the populations and their organizations to develop mobilization on a more significant scale.
