[Appeal]
Lets change the society which imposes precarity on us. We are surviving unstable days - it is not that easy to live. Some people say such hardships come from our own behaviors, but it is in fact not because of ourselves. Its because of this society which exposes everything in our life, from our labor and houses to our body and mind, to such harsh instability.
Freedom is being dangled just in front of us, but we know it is not TRUE freedom. We clearly deny such a FAKE. This fictitious freedom is prepared just for looking down the life of each other only after forced, endless competitions. Voices of the precariat (the people faced precarious living conditions) were expressed in the unfinished sound demonstration on April 30th, which tried to bring streets back into a space for human interactions. To contain this attempt, police brought out threats, shields and illegal arrests and clamped down both the sound demo and people. However, nobody can clamp down the voices of us, because we will NEVER shut up after the Precariats Mayday was completely messed up. We will make clear what we want, here. We simply want to meet people, to talk, to get surprised, to get pleased and to live. Again, what we want is TRUE freedom that we can cross each other within free activities of thinking, moving and expressing ourselves. We NEVER allow anyone who would rob them of us. To achieve what we want, we will do our best and NEVER give up.
