</span></span></font></p><font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
</span></font><p><font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span>the “May of Solidarity” is over with actions, marches, assemblies in many European cities and regions. With “May
of Solidarity” we made a crucial step for connecting networks and movements – not only because we succeeded in
linking various social struggles under a common call, we also succeeded in developing new threads for common
action in different location. And, we shouldn’t forget about this, we came to that agreement of de-/ centralized
European Action Days before the European elections different movement conventions across Europe.
</span></span></font></p><font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
</span></font><p><font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span>While “May of Solidarity” can stand in its own right (see the final statement at </span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,255)"><a href="http://www.mayofsolidarity.org" target="_blank">www.mayofsolidarity.org</a></span><span>), we also
saw and see it as step for building a movement of movements, for transnationalizing our efforts and alliances for
building a transnational space of action with common goals, locations, mobilizations. With this upcoming meeting
of the “European wide coordination meeting for Blockupy 2014” on June 21</span><span style="vertical-align:5pt">st </span><span>in Berlin we wish to

<p><font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span>develop and decide on our next steps + mobilizations
</span></span></font></p>
</li><li>
<p><font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span>evaluate how we function as an alliance and in building </span><span>a European-wide coordinating

<p><font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span>think through the next practical meeting points on the streets (as Torino...) and prepare for an European

</span></span></font></p>
<p><font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span>It is time to evaluate how we’ve done so far and to get serious with next common plans. It is necessary to
coordinate our collectives, networks, struggles and movements in as concrete ways as possible – and to meet
physically for that for a day. Potentially this coordination shall somehow be able to represent our struggles and
make it bigger. We want to coordinate and for a movement of movements in construction, we need to network
and build up common plans and actions.
