Open Letter of No Dal Molin No Tav and

Lettera aperta agli studenti, ai precari, agli insegnanti, ai genitori impegnati nella difesa di un bene comune: la scuola e l’universita’

Vi abbiamo visto nelle strade e nelle piazze delle nostre città. Abbiamo incrociato i vostri sguardi e abbiamo ritrovato la nostra determinazione: quella di chi non cerca un privilegio ma con il proprio impegno difende l’oggi di se stesso e il domani di tanti altri.

Siamo donne e uomini Vicenza, from Val di Susa and many other cultures brought together in the Pact of Mutual Aid permanently mobilized to defend our land and our water, our cities, our valleys and our future: whether it's new bases military, new high-speed lines, new landfills and new incinerators, sources sold off to the highest bidder or whatever little changes: common goods stolen from public spaces of democracy deleted.

In recent years we have learned to look around, to know and question. We want to understand and learn, build and create. As you gather in assembly. As you strive to enhance our creativity and our diversity. How do you defend the common goods that governments would like to escape: the access to knowledge and give it to the profits of private territory for watering down the U.S. military or the Party of the wire and cement, the water to allow new huge profits for big multinationals . How do you bet on the strength of reason and truth and practice peaceful methods of struggle.

In our mobilization we know distorted use of information and knowledge, we would like to impose on us ignorant and uninformed choices devastating without our knowledge. Defend access to knowledge and education, then, is defending the possibility each of us to stand up and indignant about the many daily charges against women and men who live in our cities, our countryside, our valleys and our mountains.

We have seen in the streets and squares of our cities and as a wave swept silences complacent and indifferent gaze. Your wave crosses our view, the resources that they want to withdraw from the school and the university would use them to devastating new works great and unnecessary harmful to defend public education from this latest attempt of robbery and yours is also our goal, your strength strengthens our resistance and vice versa. Our waves follow the same route: one that has as its goal the defense of common goods, participation and democracy.

The future is in our hands.
