Blockupy is now getting a lot of media attention. Please help us turn around this decision, and in the process, raise awareness of the cutbacks of democratic rights to demonstrate in Europe and of the legitimacy of taking action against the austerity politics of crisis of the EU and troika. Below are some suggestions for how to boost awareness:

1. Facebook

 Hi everybody,

yes, it's true that the government of the city of Frankfurt plans to ban
BLOCKUPY. But before you even think about cancelling your travel plans,
please note that this decision is still being heavily disputed.

All legal means will be pursed in order to waive the ban, and under the
constitution's right of assembly chances are quite good to be successful.
And even if not, our comrade Christoph Kleine from Interventionistische
Linke (IL) publicly stated that ten thousands of people would be coming
anyway, so a ban wouldn't be enforceable at all.

At the moment, the rightists' attempts to criminalize the BLOCKUPY days
actually act as a major mobilization campaign - so public attention and
support keep rising... :)

Here's a short news article on this in English:

Best regards, Pancho (IL)
