Some of us are more progressive, others are more conservative. Some have clearly defined ideologies, other don’t. But we are all outraged at the socioeconomic and political environment we live in. And we are tired of feeling helpless to do anything about it. If we all unite, we can change this unjust, tired system that is hurting us so badly. It’s time to get moving in order to build a better soci
ety. To achieve this goal, we have three fundamental demands:
1) THAT GOVERNMENTS PUT OUR INTERESTS BEFORE THOSE OF THE MARKETS AND THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
There are basic rights that should be met in our society, such as the right to housing, employment, healthcare and education. Governments must stop using the financial crisis as a pretext for cutting social benefits while those responsible for the crisis keep getting richer every day.
2) PARTICIPATORY DEMOCRACY
In a real democracy, the government belongs to the people, but most of the political class don't even listen to us. Its role should be to bring our voice to the institutions, facilitating citizens’ participation through direct channels that provide the greatest benefit to society as a whole. Their campaign promises are a contract, and if they breach it, they should be fired like anyone else.
3) CORRUPTION CONTROL
Laws against corruption should be amended and upheld so that fraudulent politicians, bankers and corporate executives cannot continue to enjoy immunity and impunity.
