[WSF-Discuss] Fwd: (en) US, From New York City: We have just occupied New SchoolUniversity*

Friday, December 19, 2008

I am aware that this may seem off-list for WSFDiscuss (though not for  
Social Movement), but it seems important enough to post anyway, and  
also looking ahead to the Belém Forum – and among other things, the  
event that we from CACIM are organising there titled –

Facing the Future : The World Social Forum, the Global Justice  
Movement, and Beyond

             (In case you have not yet checked them out, you can get  
details on all our events @ http://cacim.net/twiki/tiki-index.php? 
page=CACIMatBelem.)

> begins as a response to specific
> conditions at the New School, the corporatization of the university  
> and the impoverishment of
> education in general. However, it is not just this university but  
> also New York City that is in
> crisis: in the next several months, thousands of us will be losing  
> our jobs, while housing remains
> unaffordable and unavailable to many and the cost of living  
> skyrockets. ---- So we stress that the
> general nature of these intolerable conditions exists across the  
> spectrum of capitalist existence,
> in our universities and our cities, in all of our social relations.

> For this reason, what begins tonight at the New School cannot, and  
> should not, be contained here.
>
> Thus: with this occupation, we inaugurate a wave of occupations in  
> New York City and the United
> States, a coming wave of occupations, blockades, and strikes in  
> this time of crisis.
>
> Be assured, this is only the beginning,
>
> With solidarity and love from New York to Greece,
> To Italy, France and Spain,
> To the coming insurrection.
