Written for A-Infos 31 July
Andrew Flood  Barcelona

As I type the different sub groups of the
information table are reporting back.  Their
conclusions are the products of four days
discussing the neoliberal media, our
experience of opposing it and how we
can improve the network of communications
between our struggles.

Some points that have emerged include the
fact that the network must be one that
1. Gives a voice to the voiceless
2. Has no central control but rather communicates
through many channels
later many of the documents will be produced
and made available on the internet

This network is not something that was born at
this meeting or indeed at the Zapatista organised
encounter last year.  Rather is has existed as
long as struggles have existed.  We have sought to
communicate between our struggles, in early times
by spoken word and song.  With the invention of
printing this network became more permanent and
visable.  Our work here neither starts nor completes
this network but we hope in will be a real addition
to making our voices heard.

Apart from the discussions we have taken part in
demonstrations and exchanged material from our
struggles.  This helps us see the reality of
our struggles.  Yesterday people from Rome showed
us the video they had made of their occupation of
two trains in Milan by people who wanted to go to
the =C9uropean march against unemployment=B4in
Amsterdam last month.  In their success in that
occupation they inspired us, in the repression
of some of the occupiers by the Amsterdam riot
police they showed us we have a common experience
and common enemy that does not hold back from
communicating against us.  We also must communicate
against it, that is the purpose of our discussions
