This is the page to co-ordinate the European Freedom not Fear weekend in Brussels in September 2012.

Join us: Freedom not Fear 2012 European policy making is affecting our every day lives and civil liberties more and more. The EU is increasingly imposing unnecessary and disproportionate governmental surveillance measures on us. We are not willing not to take this any longer. Therefore we invite you to join us for about three days of discussions networking protest meetings with politicians Issues "Freedom not fear 2012 - Defending fundamental rights in our networked world" We say NO to data retention and PNR and the respect of our fundamental rights in the digital environment. Full list of demands When and where? When? From 14. - 17. September 2012 (Friday till Monday). We are starting in the afternoon of Friday afternoon, having one meeting room on our own from 1 pm. The official ending of the meeting shall be on Sunday evening, but there will be some more "action" on Monday, September 17, as some people want to organize some meetings with people from the EU Commission and Parliament. Where? We have booked some rooms in the "Mundo B" at Rue d'Edimbourg 26, where we had some wonderful days at Freedom not fear 2011. It's the home of some non-governmental organisations and a very lovely place with lots of space for our meeting.
