Auf der ganzen Welt

Our group is made up of a range of organisations including NGOs, civil society organisations, trade union and community groups and individual members. To mark 10 years on we are holding an exhibition which captures the creativity of the social movements and campaigns in their resistance to austerity cuts in Ireland which were imposed as a result of global financial crash and bank bailout.   Organisations involved so far : Debt and Development Coalition Ireland (DDCI), Attac Ireland, Spectacle of Defiance and Hope, SIPTU, Anglo Not Our Debt, Galway One World Centre.

There will be two major sets of events in Liège. (1) A ‚Let’s control finance‘ weekend on 14-15 and 16 September, with an interactive exhibition ‚Musée du Capitalisme‘, street actions including singing hijacked songs, a ‚control finance‘ picnic, a debate on what to do with banks and the captation of the play Money! on Saturday, a brunch with short films on financial issues on Sunday. (2) A festival called ‚Krach dedans‘ from 10 to 27 October with films, plays, public debates, including a now internationally famous ‚conférence gesticulée‘ Chronique d’une ex-banquière by Aline Farès and the play Études. The Elephant in the Room by Françoise Bloch.   Organisations involved so far : Liège (1) Association pour la taxation des transactions financières et l’action citoyenne ATTAC-Liège with Centre du Beau-Mur, Comité pour l’annulation des dettes illégitimes CADTM, Aquilone, Théâtre universitaire royal de Liège TURLg; (2) Centre d’Action laïque CAL Liège and Théâtre de Liège at Cité Miroir.

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.

All people and groups who want to take back control of our future are invited to take action from September 8th till September 15th 2018. During this week, various organizations and networks will be present and involved. Everyone will be able to find their place to initiate a large grassroots movement capable of taking back control of finance and thus of our future.
