The 5th gathering of Peoples Global Action in Europe this time will take
place in Greece.
A responsibility of organizing and coordinating the discussion that opened
in the last meetings of PGA europe has taken by a decentralized network of
activists and collectives in Balkans. Thats exactly and the essential
advantage of this initiative. The convenor is not a local collective like
other conferences in the past but a vital balkan decentralized network.
On the preparation all of these months several questions , problems as

At the PGA-conference in Dijon a need for a non-digital communication-tool was mentioned.
There was an idea to refresh a printed newsletter. We would like to continue the project with

diffuse structure coordinating groups and people sharing common struggles
and practices, in accordance with various anticapitalist and
anti-authoritarian principles (see the hallmarks). PGA initiated the
Intercontinental caravan in 1999, as well as international action days of
actions against the G8, the WTO, the World Bank, the IMF... In Seattle,

force behind numerous actions and reflections. At the convergence of

ABOUT Dissent! G8 Infotour
Once a year the leaders of the 8 richest nations meet behind closed doors in secret with no publicized agenda or published minutes, to discuss the fate of the world. They’ve been making empty promises for decades about improving the environment, poverty in Africa, and lots more, but the fact is that the G8 is not the solution to these ills, it is the problem! We are preparing in Germany for large scale protests against the G8 meeting this June 6-8, 2007, and plan to come tell you about what is going on here. We have done over 200 presentations in 25+ countries since November 2005, and are now coming to your town!
In case you haven't had a chance to check out the big number of anti-G8 web-sites we have over here in Germany (or got lost on a German language site looking around for more English), we've attached an overview below of what our normal "foreign" presentation consists of. There are also many links below.
Este documento fue leido en el plenaria final de El Encuentro de Pueblos Zapatistas con el PUeblos del Mundo como un propuesta para un tema en la Intergalactica y tambien como un llamada a accion global.
A: L@s compañer@s zapatistas, al EZLN, a la Comisión Sexta, a l@s adherentes a la Otra Campaña, a la Sociedad Civil Nacional e Internacional, a los pueblos del mundo.
De: Los y las participantes en la red realizando campamentos contra las fronteras en otoño del 2007, presentes en el Encuentro de los Pueblos Zapatistas con los Pueblos del Mundo
Actualmente somos un grupo de migrantes y colectivos anarquistas de Mexico: Tijuana, Ensenada, Mexicali, Ciudad Juarez, D.F., Estado de México, Jalisco, Oaxaca, Chiapas.
Y diferentes colectivos en los Estados Unidos: San Diego, Ciudad de Nueva York, Tucson, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Portland, Durham y Ãrea de la BahÃa de Monterey, quienes estamos en solidaridad incondicional con los indÃgenas, con los y las migrantes del mundo y con los colectivos anarquistas de México.
Muchos de nosotros y nosotras colectivamente e individualmente somos adherentes a la Otra Campaña. Somos anarquistas, estudiantes, maestr@s, trabajador@s, artistas, indigenas, realizador@s de medios, queers (personas radicales que no quieren adoptar los canones establecidos de género), madres, mujeres, hombres y otros.
Junt@s estamos trabajando para crear un mundo sin fronteras, creemos que las fronteras son prisiones y que todos los presos y presas que resultan del cruce “ilegalâ€son pres@s polÃtic@s. Abajo los muros de las prisiones! No estamos todos, faltan los presos!
This proposal was read at the Encuentro with the Zapatista Communities and the People of the World in Oventic on January 2nd 2007 in the plenary session for the Intergalatic Encuentro as a proposal for a theme to the Intergalactic and a Global Call to Action.

To: The zapatista compañer@s, EZLN, the Sexta Commission, the adheirants of the OtherCampaign, Civil Society National and International, the people of the world.
From: Participants in the network realizing No Border Camps in fall of 2007 present at the Encuentro de los Pueblos Zapatistas con los Pueblos del mundo
We are currently a group of migrants and anarchist collectives from Mexico: Tijuana, Ensenada, Mexicali, Ciudad Juarez, D.F., Oaxaca, Chiapas and different collectives in the United States: San Diego, New York City, Tuscon, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Portland, Raleigh and the Monterey Bay Area who are in unconditional solidarity with the indigenous, the migrant people of the world and the anarchist collectives in Mexico.
Many of us collectively and individually are adherents to The Other Campaign. We are anarchists, students, teachers, workers, artists, indigenous, media makers, queers, mothers, women, men and others.
Together we are working to create a world without borders. We believe that borders are prisons and that all people in prison for crossing “illegally†are political prisoners. Tear down the prison walls! As long as they are in prison, none of us are free...
compiled from the no border camp 2007 zine
the no border camp is...
...a forum for dialogue and planning, coordinated actions and propaganda campaigns
...an intervention in a discourse
part of a global movement that is...
...decentralized, autonomous and horizontal
...against borders and all of the manifestations of such borders (nationalism, xenophobia, racism among others)
...collectively building a platform from which the struggle can be demonstrated and articulated
a space...
...for direct actions against the border, detention and migration controls ...for the construction of local alternatives to global capitalism
 Boston Delegation to the World Social Forum 2007 in Nairobi Kenya Proposes Intercontinental Unity in the Struggle for Migrant Workers Rights in the World.
This activity seeks to demonstrate the need to join forces in the world to confront the injustices of a condition created by contemporary capitalism: large masses of migrant workers desperately seeking work to survive. In that process they are abused, victimized, exploited and discriminated.
