<p class="gmail_quote"><strong><big><big>Get ready for #GlobalNoise!</big><br> <small>Global day of potbanging protest on October 13</small></big></strong></p><div class="gmail_quote">
</div><p class="gmail_quote">A
year ago, the world was surprised by the rapid spread of square
occupations calling for #GlobalChange. This Saturday we will take the
streets again, louder than ever, with a global cacerolazo, casserole,
potbanging protest.<br> The initiative comes from the international
networks of Occupy, Indignados, #YoSoy132, and now many grassroots
groups and individuals joined: in <a href="http://www.globalnoise.net/wiki/who-is-already-in-2/" target="_blank">hundreds of cities</a> around the globe protests are planned.</p><p class="gmail_quote"><strong>Many voices, one struggle</strong></p>
<div class="gmail_quote">
</div><p class="gmail_quote">The
focus of the protest is intentionally left open to be filled by local
organizers and participants. The result is a turbulent cacophony of
issues and slogans: “Don’t owe, won’t pay” in Spain, “Fuck the Troika”
in Portugal, a clear message against war from Istanbul, a protest in
front of the annual IMF/Worldbank meeting in Tokyo,<br> One common theme
running through all the #GlobalNoise events is the targeting of
political and financial elites who are held responsible for destroying
our communities and the planet, resonating the ongoing wave of
anti-austerity protests in Europe and around the world. At the same time
#GlobalNoise is a symbol of hope and unity, building on a wide variety
of struggles for global justice and solidarity, assuring that together
we will create another world.</p><p class="gmail_quote"><strong>Beyond October 13</strong></p><p class="gmail_quote">#GlobalNoise
is a moment to establish new connections, strengthen our networks and
communicate our plans for the future. The coming weeks and months a
large number of events are scheduled, including the <a href="http://ism-global.net/" target="_blank">Global Education Strike</a> on October 18, movement gatherings in Madrid (<a href="http://99agora.net/" target="_blank">Agora99</a>) and Florence (<a href="http://firenze1010.eu/" target="_blank">Firenze10+10</a>) in november, the global day of action for <a href="http://globalmigrantsaction.org/" target="_blank">the Rights of Migrants, Refugees and Displaced people</a> on December 18.<br>
And then there is an initiative from Montreal, Quebec, called <a href="http://via22.org/" target="_blank">VIA22</a>
which is a global day of action planned for October 22 and continuing
to occur on the 22nd of every month. The idea of VIA22 is to take
potbanging to the next level by expressing the need that our marches and
demonstrations become spaces for sharing knowledge about alternatives.</p><p class="gmail_quote"><strong>Links for #GlobalNoise</strong></p><p class="gmail_quote">Main website: <a href="http://www.globalnoise.net" target="_blank">http://www.globalnoise.net</a><br>
