Collectively, we were born in December 2008 in the midst of the uprising. We are a neighborhood assembly, a community of struggle. What unites us is, apart from being a neighbour, a desire to resist what makes us feel illiberal and a certainty that together we can achieve a great deal. We are students, workers, unemployed, and everything else that does not fit into these characterizations, and we have anxiety and questions about our lives, our future, both ours and our societies. It was all this that united us in December, a moment in history when crowds of people took to the street carrying their own personal burden to leave behind symbolically, but not figuratively, throwing a stone. The burden may not have gone entirely away, but it's certainly not that heavy anymore. The more we are and the more our victories increase, the lighter the load. And so the hope that we will get rid of it is getting stronger.
Our hope is that the more we organize, starting at the local level, the stronger we will all be together to take our lives into our own hands. To assert our desires. By detecting in the status of neighbor the possible dynamic that exists for resistance, to transform this society, and for a start at least this neighborhood, into something closer to our desire. A society inhospitable to exploiters, racists, nationalists and the police, a self-organized society where solidarity is the highest of values.
