Call out of Yellow Vests from Montreuil
Answer to the call out of Yellow Vests from Commercy
The Yellow Vests from Montreuil
have heard the call from Commercy for assemblies
to form into an assembly of assemblies,
a commune of communes, to meet on 26.January.
We thank you and accept your invitation.
In Montreuil we also put on our Yellow Vests
and set ourselves up in front of the roundabout of Croix de Chavaux,
like everywhere in France.
We were able to share a soup,
discuss, build solidarity, despite different horizons,
and leave behind our isolated lives.
We reminded ourselves that the Banlieus from Paris,
as well as Pantin, Saint-Denis, Ivry, Aulnay,
have also joined the movement.
The Yellow Vests are a symbol of resistance.
It is much too early to go home,
and not too late to go out!
We resist because of humiliation and disdain.
The extreme wealth of a rich few, power hungry politicians,
the plundering of our planet
and state violence has gone too far.
The torn off hands, the blinded protestors
the youth who are forced on their knees.
Thousands of defendants, and hundreds in jail.
This is the accumulation of years of daily police repression
in poor communities.
We forget no victims of this "Law and Order" Politics
and we strengthen our solidarity - today and tomorrow!
as always they try to separate the "good" yellow vests
from the "violent" ones.
300 people that resist police repression
to defend a roundabout,
that is proletarian self defence.
3000 people that attack banks or the ministry,
that's the uprising of a people that is angry.
We must not fall for the traps of the media and the powerful,
that want to define the limits of this movement.
Neither the crumbs offered by the government,
nor one of its self led "national debates"
nor a referendum
will destroy this wonderful moment that is opening up.
Some are sceptical and fear what comes next.
We answer in the same way that the,
yellow vest movement evolved, with many new paths
leading towards a better world.
The powerful have tried to use their oldest technique,
to split us.
We cannot fall into this trap.
Instead of egoism, individualism and greed
that supports the powerful,
we have to develop solidarity and share.
We have shown that we are much more powerful.
Those that deny others a dignified life,
are not the immigrants,
but a wealthy few and an unfair system!
That's why we believe that our differences
should not limit us.
Neither the colour of our skin, our place of birth or gender
nor our sexual orientation or our religion
will give us a reason to divide.
We must stay united in our differences
if we want a fairer and better world.
In Iraq, Tunisia, Belgium, Kurdistan, Syria, Japan, Hungary, Spain,
Burkina Faso, Egypt, England, Morroco, Italy und many other countries
people are wearing yellow vests to show their anger:
Our resistance has no limits!
We will not let a president or a mayor,
nor a "representative" decide over our future.
The organisation around roundabouts, districts, villages und municipalities
allows us to regain control,
of our territories and our lives.
That is what we must continue doing,
if we want things to really change.
In Montreuil we have founded a "Club of yellow vests",
following the example of the French revolution,
when people met in clubs for public education.
When we educate ourselves it is harder to manipulate us
and allows us to put our collective
knowledge towards concrete actions,
to improve our everyday lives.
We call on clubs to be founded across the country!
Without interfering with the diversity
and autonomy of local organisations,
we think it is important to link-up and meet
to strengthen the movement.
That is why we will meet in Commercy.
We call on all yellow vests to
take part in the assembly of assemblies.
This is the beginning of a revolution
that wants to create a more just and dignified society
for us and for our children.
We will not stop, even if it takes 100 years.
So that people decide how they want to live.
Listen to our call, let's begin!
Let's start the path to the revolution!
