Thanks Sol, and sorry for late reply. Yes indeed ther are many spaces
of solidairty have built and they are growing, All these spaces, ties,
links ad nodes the ideas and aprroaches they put forward in order to
alter the world radically and build new ones which are just,
inspiring, based on eqality, sharing, caring and solidairty are
valuable. And also we need to connecte and contribute to converge
them. That would be great if you can make it on the 222nd and invite
others from your networks.
