Seems like some of us, including myself missed something.. So there was some project money, or resources being provided to create a strong international campaign as such, linked to left, NGO, party elements and people Supporting grassroots practices. Now feel obliged quite an apoligy; but moreover liked the form and configuration of the call, it is a creative intervention too. I wonder if you Theo or other Greek movements the call talks to new about the first and if they responded? Some how I did miss that first call mentioned in the text, does anyone have the link or text of that call? best, Orsan

Worlds in movement, worlds of movement…
Greece in movement…, movements in Greece :
[I am posting here, and also attaching, a statement I have received from Marina Sitrin (who is in Greece at the moment) that movement groups there have written regarding the movement-to-movement solidarity that they believe needs to be built up at this juncture - in Greece, in Europe, in and across the world. Please see if you would like to sign on, and please also circulate this widely.
[Marina : “They are in the process of setting up a website that can be used as one of the locations for coordinating resource and human solidarity, based in different regions and movements throughout Greece. The idea is then other movements, groups and people around the world can see where there are particular needs and plug in ... obviously it is and will be a work in progress.”
In solidarity !

A CALL FOR AN INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY-MUTUAL AID NETWORK
TO SUPPORT SOCIAL STRUGGLE IN GREECE
#ThisIsACoup. 12/7/2015 Euro Summit. A surprise for some. Not a surprise for others. In either case, there is a lasting question. How is a response from below possible to counteract and negate the totalizing financialization of our lives?
There is not one political answer to this. However, a political point needs to be stressed. Support is not needed for an inter-class, ethnocentric peoples—the Greeks.
Support is needed for the struggle from below taking place in Greece. It is the State, first, that homogenizes the differentiated impact of austerity—due to class, age, gender, location, and way of life—under a national identity. To accept austerity, for each MoU, a respective national responsibility. And for five years—nationalization or austerity—the two remedies to choose from.
We choose differently. What is urgent, for us, is to collectivize (not homogenize) individual risk—due to personal debt, job precarity, lessened or no access to health services and good nutrition and the internalization of guilt and shame.
This is the 2nd call for the International Solidarity-Mutual Aid Network. To meet acute and longterm needs in Greece. From/to self-organized initiatives. The aim is to make visible, to demonstrate the efficacy of and put into practice an alternative form of Social Solidarity vis a vis the form of Institutional Solidarity—the EU-ECB-IMF institutions and the new austerity program by the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) of the Eurozone.
To clarify. The call is not a contingent choice. It follows our broader effort to develop a different approach to healthcare. On a social, rather than individual, level. Solidarity, reciprocity, equity, without any distinction as to race, color, origin, sexual orientation or religion. Essential elements. For multifactorial healthcare. Not medicalized assessment. For treating human as a bio-psycho-social whole. Not reduction of human to any individual symptom. For deinstitutionalisation. Not charity, medicine for profit, or neoliberal de-hospitalization via closures, privatization and criminalization. For social emancipation.
The plan is to start from, and have at the core of this network, autonomous solidarity health clinics—the sites experimenting on the basis of non-capitalist forms of labor, non-medicalized healthcare, non-institutional dependency. Each clinic will act as a hub, and will coordinate with other self-organized groups in its city/broader area. Each such coalition will determine and share with the network—the initiatives responding to the call—a list of needs (money, in kind, human), ways to be reached (online, mail, in person), long term communication framework/programming. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Needs may range from medicine and electronics to doctors. Within the coming weeks each clinic/coalition will send out their first round of communication.

La siguiente declaración proviene de la Clínica de Solidaridad Social (Social Solidarity Health Clinic) en Iraklio que está colaborando con otras clínicas, centros sociales y movimientos para el establecimiento de una red desde abajo para contar con formas concretas de solidaridad.

LLAMADO PARA UNA SOLIDARIDAD INTERNACIONAL – RED DE AYUDA MUTUA EN APOYO A LA LUCHA SOCIAL EN GRECIA
#ThisIsACoup. 12/7/2015 Cumbre Europea. Una sorpresa para algunos. No sorprende a otros. En cualquier caso, hay una pregunta que se mantiene. ¿Cómo una respuesta desde abajo puede contraatacar y rechazar la financiarización total de nuestras vidas?
No hay una sola respuesta política a esta pregunta. Sin embargo, hay un aspecto político que necesitamos destacar. El apoyo no es necesario para una clase entre otras, el pueblo etnocentrico --los griegos. El apoyo es necesario para la lucha que desde abajo se está dando lugar en Grecia. Es el Estado quien primero homogeniza los impactos diferenciados de la austeridad –debido a la clase, edad, género, lugar y forma de vida—bajo una identidad nacional. Para aceptar la austeridad, para cada Memorando de Entendimiento, una respectiva responsabilidad nacional. Y por cinco años –nacionalización o austeridad—los dos remedios de los cuales escoger.
Queremos elegir de otra manera. Lo que urge es colectivizar (no homogenizar) el riego individual –debido a la deuda personal, poco o ningún acceso a los servicios de salud y buena nutrición y la internacionalización de la culpa y la vergüenza.
Este es el segundo llamado para la red de Solidaridad Internacional-Ayuda Mutua. Para satisfacer las necesidades agudas y de largo plazo en Grecia. Desde/hacia iniciativas autogestionadas. El objetivo es hacer visible, demostrar la eficacia de y poner en práctica una forma alternativa de Solidaridad Social frente a la forma de Solidaridad Institucional de la UE-BCE-FMI y el nuevo programa de austeridad del Mecanismo Europeo de Estabilidad (ESM ) de la eurozona
Para aclarar. Este llamado no es una opción contingente. Del mismo se desprende nuestro esfuerzo más amplio por desarrollar un enfoque diferente al del asistencialismo de la salud. En un nivel social, no individual. La solidaridad, la reciprocidad, la equidad, sin distinción alguna de raza, color, origen, orientación sexual o religión. Elementos esenciales. Por la salud multifactorial. Contra la evaluación medicalizada. Por el tratamiento humano como un conjunto bio-sico-social. Contra la reducción del humano a cualquier síntoma individual. Por la desinstitucionalización. En contra de la caridad, la medicina con fines de lucro, o la des-hospitalización neoliberal a través de los cierres, la privatización y la criminalización. Por la emancipación social.
El plan es comenzar a partir de, y tener en el núcleo de esta red, las clínicas solidarias de salud autónomas -- los lugares que están experimentando sobre la base de formas no capitalistas de trabajo, la asistencia sanitaria no medicalizada, la dependencia no institucional. Cada clínica actuará como un centro, y coordinará con otros grupos auto-organizados en su ciudad/región. Cada una de estas coaliciones determinará y compartirá con la red –es decir aquellos que respondan a este llamado-- una lista de necesidades (dinero, insumos, gente), formas de hacer llegar (en línea, correo, en persona), marcos de comunicación/programación a largo plazo. No hay una sola respuesta a la solución. Las necesidades pueden variar desde la medicina y la electrónica a los profesionales de la salud. Dentro de las próximas semanas cada clínica/coalición enviará su primera ronda de comunicaciones.
