Call for #GlobalSpring for #GlobalChange
Fellow humans,
People from the Indignados and Occupy movements from across the world call for a Global Spring, beginning this May.
1st May, 12th May,15th May and the
G8/NATO summits in Chicago from May 19th- 21st, will grab the world’s attention and escalate the global movement for economic and social justice. We invite you to join us in our fight for freedom, equality, peace, justice and real democracy across the world by joining the Global Spring.
We exist not simply to protest our indignance but to work together to build alternatives. We will not merely demonstrate to demand change from those who rule us but will pursue the creation of our own alternatives that promote justice, peace and sustainability.
We are committed to a system of inclusive participatory democracy so we call on all organizations, movements and individuals interested in participating to join the planning and coordination of the Global Spring.
Our principal method of organisation is the regular international voice conference we hold. To access information regarding these meetings please see:

We invite you to join us in pursuing alternatives to create a fair and free world and we ask you to spread this invitation.
In love and solidarity.

Great! I like the transition from protesting to coming up with ideas for change. Will there eventually be face to face meetings or just mumble server meetings?

i think face-to-face meetings are tough unless they are at a local level. Organize at your local level/local Occupy Node

I think Adam is right, unless we can sit together locally, this will become very difficult.

We have to work out better ways of coordinating then. Unless you have a meeting here in spain, one in greece, one in the uk etc, what kind of world wide in person meeting can you come up with? Universities have the access grid network, a huge immersive teleconferencing system that sits unused most of the time, we can also do regional meetings, and there was one just this weekend in barcelona. Sites/software like global squares will one day help with all this too, but until then, produce locally, and virtualise everything else is a good mantra.

We need to keep the (sometimes boring) work of planting and nurturing the seeds of a new economy, and the seeds of a new democracy. And we need to keep up coming up with new, interesting ideas. Resistance is fertile!
