The Action day in autumn 2008

On 11. October 2008 we call for a Europe-wide action day in as many European capital cities as possible to demonstrate against the total retention of telecommunication data and other instruments of surveillance. We would like to recall the remembrance of the historical achievement of civil rights and liberties as a heritage of the Age of Enlightenment and to support the trust in security in our free society.

Press

National contacts for the press can be found here.

Action planning

Take responsibility yourself for the co-ordination and organisation in your city! If you need help: Contact the press office or send an email to kontakt[at]vorratsdatenspeicherung.de. We will arrange contact information for other people and/or organisations, as well as NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) in your town. Please refrain from merging enire regions - We can be effective by starting as many small actions in as many places as possible.

Note: One person responsible should be named with contact details on every city page to ease organisation and press relation. Those people should also sign up at national contacts for the press. Thank you! For coordination and media relations in Berlin the press office is available ( where you can also find templates to contact supporters and media). There should be one responsible contact for media work for every city entered here (national contacts). Also, there are always people of the AK Vorrat to be found in the chat to help.

Organisation is as easy as it gets:

• HowTo: Informations and hints about organizing demonstrations for AK-activists, befriended organisations and supporters, who want to participate directly
• Ideas for actions
• Flyer and poster (templates)

There is a page template that can be used for coordination and organisation:

• Kategorie:Freedom_Not_Fear_2008/Templates - Updated template pages to be adapted to your national event

What is left to be done can be found on the to do list. If someone takes care of a task, please leave a note on the discussion page.
