If any of: Bera, Jeanette, Rosalie, Judith or Ruth wants a text copy of it,
please let me know.
** It starts:
"... federation comprised of local autonomous collectives and individuals.
We organize networks in order to defend and expand public space and the
right to self-determination. We create knowledge through independent public
interest research, and distribute it freely through participatory education."
** In summary (these are headings; each is followed by an explanation):
... the agreed upon demands and beliefs of our federation:
- 1) We want freedom. We want the power to resist tyranny and inevitability.
- 2) We want full employment and support for all people, engendering
political, economic, and social egalitarianism.
- 3) We want an end to the robbery of our communities by capitalists.
- 4) We want free and decent housing, fit for the shelter of human
beings.
- 5) We want free participatory education for all people that allows
us to explore the diverse histories found in our cultures, and the diverse
roles we all play in the present-day society.
- 6) We want an end to all forms of war. We want all people exempt from
military service.
- 7) We want an immediate end to the oppression and victimization of
peoples at the hands of the state.
- 8) We want freedom for all political prisoners, and a gradual
abolition of all prisons, jails, and authoritarian mental-health
institutions.
- 9) We want a justice system that resides in the communities it
affects, responds to the needs of all within those communities, protects
the inalienable human rights of all, and seeks resolution rather than
revenge, equality rather than the protection of elite interests.
- 10) We want clean air, clean water, free universal access to all
forms of media, health care, and public transportation, as well as the
ability to produce and consume foods, herbs, and drinks, free of
industrial toxins, pesticides, genetic engineering and manipulation.
