On Saturday 20th December, an open discussion about the uprising in Greece took place in De Linkse Kerk, Leiden. At the end of the meeting, the participants discussed the idea of calling an open assembly that will be held twice a month at “De Linkse Kerk” in order to discuss and work on current socio-political issues.
We met on the occasion of the uprising in Greece, either because we strongly felt the urgent need to “do something about it”, or we simply wanted to get informed by means other than that of the Mass Media. We soon realized that, as similar “occasions” will always occur, whenever we feel the need to take action we should not wait for some organization to call for something that we can follow. We can do it ourselves, with a simple recipe:
a steady place where we can meet: De Linkse Kerk, (Koppenhinksteeg 2, Leiden)
a fixed date: twice a month, starting on January the 7th at 20.00 hrs,
and our heads full of ideas…
The agenda is for the assembly to decide it. It can include anything about events happening as far as Gaza in Palestine (which is currently being slaughtered by the Israeli army) up to local issues in Leiden and the Netherlands (e.g. labor, education, ecology, immigration policies, counter-terrorism laws, etc). The process of decision-making and the way that the decisions will be materialized, is again for the assembly to decide it. However, there is a broad consensus for non-hierarchical, self-organized structures and actions, based on the principles of collective cooperation and mutual aid.
In this respect, the assembly is open to anyone who finds himself/herself against any form of capitalist and authoritarian suppression, anyone who wants to share views and join efforts towards a life of true freedom and direct democracy, and anyone who supports the spreading of non-commercial, grassroots information.
Address:
“De Linkse Kerk”
Koppenhinksteeg 2, 2312HX, Leiden
