Partout dans le monde

On September 15th, we will protest in front of the Stock Exchange in Frankfurt. As an important financial institution, it stands for a fundamentally wrong prioritisation, for the primacy of shareholder value over democracy, social needs and ecological boundaries. The protest consists of an impressive action. A large, pale-faced crowd pulls a surdimensional bull and bear – symbols of financialised capitalism – towards the Stock exchange. There something unexpected happens. With united force they free themselves, get back what belongs to them – houses, education, health services, water… The protest weekend starts with a public discussion organised by Attac on the issue on the 14th of September. A book tour throughout 10 cities in the first two weeks of September, presenting a book written in international collaboration, mobilises for the 15.09.

There will be an event in front of the Italian Stock Exchange in Milano on September the 14th. It is still to be defined the kind of event, most probably it will be an artistic performance and a small event.   Organisations involved so far: Fondazione Finanza Etica (FFE)
