Subject: [Squares] Festival for Solidarity & Cooperative Economy in Athens
Reply-To: squares@lists.takethesquare.net

Hi,

A bunch of us from Spain are helping groups in Greece with international communication, and we wanted to ask for your help...

Greece is organising their 3rd Festival for Solidarity & Cooperative Economy, that will take place in Athens from October 10th to 12th. Round 200 groups participate each year: social clinics and pharmacies, Thessaloniki's 136 Water movement, the worker's recovered factory Vio.Me, time banks, social centres, communication projects... all the support and solidarity networks that have sprouted with the crisis.

This year they are going to invite groups and initiatives from around Europe and we are launching a Crowdfunding campaign to find the funds to pay for the travel costs of those who come (4000€ to cover up to 150€ per person). Lodging will be covered by activists in Athens.

We are in a process of identifying different initiatives in different countries and sending them the invitation (one person per collective). All who want to come may come of course, but they are making a selection of those to fund in order to cover a good variety of topics of discussion and countries.

So... this is what we would love to ask help from you :)

1) Please send the press release to your media contacts and/or post on your site or blog if possible: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2s9CAB9OS_-ck5sZDEzV1k0UHpRcXR0RXo3ZDR1NkdyY0hN/edit?usp=sharing

2) Share the Crowdfunding campaign in your networks: http://www.kapipal.com/festival4sce2014 (and of course participate if you wish!) and here a HTML code that can be embeded in a website while the campaign is running, if you want to use it.
