I'm up for anything, you can only try. And the idea of somehow just concentrating on linking up people makes sense. There are many who organise stuff but are not particularly that well aware of who else is out there and/or what else is being done. And having somewhere decent where to go and see who is out there, doing what and when is not a bad idea either. Many find the internet disorienting in that there is too much data and they don't know how to search (or they have the idea that they don't and so they don't try).

Unindefined Revolutionary Objects (UROs) are appearing like thunder stike around the world and occupying important city centers... where is this process headed to!
May be it is time to pool key people from Greece, UK, Tunusia, Egypt, Wisconsin, and Spain like you Amaia in order to forge for a harmonised city center occupations in all G20 or even glibally?
You might have the right names Michel. We are entering into an critical time zone, I think the climate is getting ready for such an action. So we need to link up!
There are already several calls for world strike or similar global uprising. One anaymous call suggests 11.11.11 for such uprising!

Sure, no worries, I'm in. What email address do I send stuff to so that I
don't end up spamming people unnecessarily?
I agree with Michel, to me this looks like something big could come out of
it. I'd never dreamt of what is happening when I started "being a pain"
about the need to go out on May 15th in Spain. I was only hoping for a
decent turnout that day. Italy happily obliging within a couple of days and
then Greece and then this #europeanrevolution being organised for Sunday is
a massive surprise. I thought Europe was dead, there might be hope o.O

Dear Chris,
in a short intro to a piece on spain, I wrote the following endorsement,
so I think we should follow this very closely and support this evolving
global movement to the best of our abilities,
I hope you can be our point man, perhaps with Amaia as pointwoman, in
Spain, I think her storyify format would be great for regular updates ...
I also copying vasilis and George in Greece, in the hope they can
contribute stories about how this develops in Greece,
Michel

When people agree on what they don't want, i.e. a market dictatorship in
the hands of a financial predatory class, but are open-minded about the
future, what should they ask for?
The answer is very simply: true democracy, as this leaves all options open
to create 'other worlds'.
This is why the relative indeterminacy of the Spanish movement is not a
bug, but a feature. It signals civil society forces have found a format for
their protests, and a unifying platform, and this is why what happened in
Spain is really Ground Zero for the start of a process towards deep
transformation of our civilisation and political economy. It's early days,
just green shoots, and the new generations have to be politically schooled
as they face obstacles and repression, but, the tipping point has been
reached, and something new has blossomed in the world.

tomorrow. People arriving are occupying the surrounding streets and are
being clubbed by riot police who do not have id badges visible. the campers
are calling for more camps this evening
