Community organizing is a militant approach to bring the most marginalized fringes of the popular classes into the protest action. In her
work, Adeline de Lépinay deciphers the limits and possibilities offered by this method from across the Atlantic. ---- Attention precious
book. Let's organize! Critical Manualis timely. It will be useful to those who seek to fight effectively while being demanding and demanding
on the democratic character of the fight, and will benefit from being read more particularly by all those who, revolted by the explosion of
inequalities and tired of an increasingly authoritarian representative democracy, seek other ways to build a free, egalitarian, democratic
and united society. From #Metoo to yellow vests through those who are moved by the climate emergency, this research is underway and it is
deeply renewing the modes of action. It is very topical because we can see that the difficulties in extending the strikes since the
beginning of December are closely linked to a weakness in the establishment of the most combative trade union organizations. That is
whyLet's organize ! It will also stimulate the thinking of those who have been fighting for a longer time still for a project for a society
free of all oppressions and have therefore chosen to organize themselves.

But what is it about ? The title announces the color. We are talking about a critical manual, that is to say a book that helps us to orient
ourselves in the meanders of emancipation projects while seeking to avoid the dead ends of revenue that we would seek to apply mechanically.
. Our comrade Adeline de Lépinay starts from her militant and professional experience. Social worker, trainer, associative, union and
political activist, she draws on her journey in popular education movements to question the principles and practices of collective organization.

American lights
The singularity of his itinerary leads him to cross the contributions of the French popular education movements with those of community
organizing in the United States while subjecting them to criticism. The imagination of emancipation movements is fed references that have
their sources in the French Revolution and the revolutionary experiences of the twentieth ecentury (Russia, Spain, Latin America). The
United States is often snubbed, especially in France. But by dint of seeing only the belly of capitalism, we tend to miss movements playing
a key role in rethinking feminism, unionism, ecology, the question of housing (movements for the right to city) or education through the
currents claiming critical pedagogies.

The curiosity and open-mindedness of Adeline de Lépinay led her to go to the other side of the Atlantic a few years ago to try to learn a
little more about community organizing . The expression has no real equivalent in French. These are above all organizational methods
allowing the collective to develop and to obtain a balance of power forcing the dominant to concede and negotiate. These methods emerged at
the beginning of the 20th centurycentury with trade unionism organizing workers on the basis of the industrial branch, embodied by the
Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), on its revolutionary side, then in the late 1930s with the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO
) to reformist posterity. Under the leadership of Saul Alinsky, a social worker who trained alongside John L. Lewis, the charismatic union
leader of the IOC, they also develop outside the company, Alinsky's goal being to organize entire sections of the marginalized population
who are not affected by trade unionism. But it is a question of doing it above all to improve the condition of the popular classes within
the framework of liberal American democracy.

Read also the interview: Adeline de Lépinay: "It is an issue that popular education finds its roots in the social movement"
The emergence of this current is very much linked to the American context of the 1930s characterized by a Rooseveltian possibility which is
on the rise and while State and capital have crushed revolutionary unionism in recent years. Is community organizing therefore soluble in
capitalism? The answer is not so simple.

Ethics of collective action
The author shows us that it is certainly largely part of a logic of integration of the popular classes. It thus indicates how politicians,
from Obama to Macron in France, via Mélenchon, appropriated these methods of organization. This is explained in particular by the fact that
the organizing Alinskyen has always rejected the politicization of its action and has developed more techniques of action compatible with
the American institutions than an ethics at the service of a project of emancipation. Should we therefore reject organizing? Adeline de
Lépinay shows us that the reappropriations of organizing are not linear and that certain currents claiming to do so have broken with
Alinskian paternalism and possibility to instill an emancipatory aim.

Emancipation is precisely at the heart of his writing project. The collective understood as an expression of solidarity is the means. How
then to build collective autonomy? How to articulate freedom of the individual and collective force, and thus not to reproduce the diagrams
of authoritarian socialism which, in the end, durably diverted millions of people from the idea of social revolution?

The author answers this questioning by calling for a close link between ethics and collective action. We understand then that the latter
cannot be limited to techniques which certainly prove sometimes effective, but can be very easily misused if they do not call into question
power relations and more broadly the various types of oppression (class, of gender or "of race"). Likewise, it clearly shows that popular
education can produce both utopia and smoking, synonymous with personal development and individual success. It all depends on what you put
behind. Finally, and this is not the least merit of this work, it helps us to think the real in order to transform it, in particular by
questioning the different strategies of action in, with, against or outside of power and their possible interactions.

In a period when the will to act is more widely shared but runs up against the wall of a deep alienation of work by capital which limits the
power to act, Let's organize! powerfully opens up reflection to help us develop it with ambition and humility. We must wish him to meet a
large crowd of readers, but he will also find all its usefulness and its raison d'être if collectives seize it without further delay.

The only "solution" the system has to give for its own deep and total crisis, for its own contradictions that result from its basic
principle - the oppression and exploitation of one human being from another - is this: ---- WAR AND FASCISM ---- At a global level, the
political and economic bosses are attempting an unconditional attack against the people of the capitalist periphery through war, military
operations, subversion of regimes and enforcement of new ones, aiming to control whole areas, sources of wealth, even whole populations.
This is a condition in which millions of people are condemned to poverty, sickness and forced immigration as a prerequisite for ensuring the
over-accumulation of wealth in the hands of global financial elites and for the rearrangement of geopolitical balance of power in the
context of international competitions between global, regional and local powers.

The thousands of dead refugees and immigrants at land and sea borders, all those trapped and stuck in modern concentration camps under
abject conditions, those imprisoned in a racist state of exception, are the effects of the murderous anti-immigration "deterrence" policies
and the building of Fortress-Europe. The "walls" built are not only useful for keeping the outcasts, the "surplus populations", out of
Europe by all means, but also to promote the fascistization ofwestern societies, to establish a condition of fear, control and hate, aiming
at the acceptance of their exploitation by the bosses.

The 4th Congress of the Anarchist Political Organization was held on December 21st and 22nd in Athens, on the occupied territory of Lelas
Karagianni 37, amid the state's escalating attack on society and its resistances. On the morning of the first day, there was an open
discussion on the social and political situation, and the statements of an open political review, concerning the heretofore experience of
the function of this organizational attempt. In this process, except for the collectives that are members of A.P.O. (anarchist collectives
"Circle of Fire" and "Omikron 72" from Athens, collective for libertarian communism "Libertatia" and collective for social anarchism "Black
and Red" from Thessaloniki and an anarchist group "Dysinios Ippos" from Patras), the conference was also attended by the anarchist
collective "Peloto" from Xanthi and the collective "black red coalition for the social emancipation Nessun Potere" from Orestiada.

The conference continued with an account of the ongoing collective and decisive body of A.P.O, the working groups (counter-information,
translation and international contacts), the editorial team of the anarchist newspaper "Land and Freedom" and the special thematic groups
(group against patriarchy). There was also an assessment of the initiatives taken by the organization the previous months and the formation
of our strategy up to the next conference.

The congress's processes ended with the validation of our decisions on tactical and strategic issues and with setting up our next meeting
which will be held in the summer of 2020 and our next Conference in a year's time.

The political statements of the groups - members of APO start from the perception that the organization is part of the wider movement
against state and capitalist brutality, its references lie there and interacts with it, highlighting the realism and effectiveness of the
choice of organized struggle of anarchists and attempting to form the ground in order to overcome the partial and reflex protest, with the
aim of creating an overall anarchist revolutionary proposal inspired by today's struggles. The experience and years of involvement in this
struggle show that the organization is an important precondition for its development, with the aim of formulating, as fully as possible, a
comprehensive political revolutionary program, not only for the ever-increasing needs of the struggles in the present but also in order to
bring to society a realistic proposal that places at its core the vision of a future emancipated and self-directed social organization. Just
as life is not possible without cooperation and solidarity, in the same way struggle and revolution are not feasible without a pre-existing
revolutionary organization.

The neoliberal-far-right government of New Democracy succeeded the political administration of SYRIZA, which on one hand designed and
implemented a series of anti-social-anti-labor measures and on the other hand sought the incorporation and political neutralization of
movements. At the current juncture, the government announces the transition to the period of much-needed "growth" and the return to
"normality" of the state-capitalist way of organizing life. The modern working "dark ages" is once again being renamed ‘development' and
‘modernization' in the ‘new language' of modern totalitarianism. "Development" marks a new round of anti-social attack on behalf of the
state and the bosses. The continuation of the guardianship by supranational mechanisms and the commitment to meeting high economic
objectives are inciting that the plundering and destruction of social wealth, the increasingly violent impoverishment of the social base and
the unhindered destruction of the natural world are going to be renewed.

The imposition of development, of law and order means, for the large social majority, shortages in basic medicines and the closure of more
and more health units, hunger wages and the continuous degradation of labor rights, home seizures and university tuition fees. It means
destruction of mountains, rivers and forests, the further contamination of seas and air, the privatization of the natural world in order to
plunder it intensively.

The spearhead of the state the bosses' generalized attack the against society, nature, the working class, is the destruction of social and
class resistance. Without it, their plans to impose the bleak reality of ever-increasing exploitation and oppression remain precarious. The
targeting of squats and the invasion in them are an integral part of the overall operation of the state and the bosses in order to impose
working camp conditions. The operations of SWAT and riot police forces against squatted spaces, the persecutions, the pompous
proclamations-"ultimatums", the occupation of Exarcheia by repressive forces are targeting those forces that could function as initiators of
generalized social and class resistance, and through their example to discourage the rest of society. The use of torture in public as a tool
of intimidation is the most characteristic example of this practice.

On one hand, the state attempts to demonstrate its strength in order to intimidate the large masses affected by impoverishing policies and
to prevent social and class rage from becoming a generalized conflict. On the other hand, it seeks to unite the most conservative parts,
which are subjugated to the power of the most powerful and by being identified with a state that is rapidly moving towards the imposition of
modern totalitarianism, are fascistized.

At the same time, all governments so far have promoted intolerance and racism, while state mechanisms kept on using and arming the hands of
Nazi strike groups. The Golden Dawn trial began five years ago, in a climate of widespread social anger from the successive fascist attacks,
aiming mainly to intercept the expression of social discontent and to launder the Nazi gang, but also the state itself, being the main
orchestrator and instigator of the fascist/para-state attacks, using them as a reserve in the direction of terrorizing society and
repressing all those who struggle. Today, the trial is coming to an end, with the majority of the accused already freed, while the head of
state prosecutor, Adamantia Oikonomou, proposes the acquittal of those accused for the murdering of Pavlos Fyssas and their dismissal for
the charge of setting up a criminal organization, putting an end to any illusions of the "regime's anti-fascism".

The simultaneous attack on the university asylum and on the ability of class organization in the workplace, and also on the possibility of
demonstrating through legislation that seek to restrict them, and the staged persecution against people of the struggle, are part of the
same repressive machine which aims, through this blatant attack, to permanently change the social and class balance of power. The war
against all those who struggle is part of the systematic effort of the Greek state to subdue social and class resistance and impose
submission. It is the battles that are being fought in every front of this attack that will ultimately determine the outcome of this war
that aims at restructuring the terms of social existence.

"Son of man, say or guess, you can't, because you only know a stack of broken images where the sun hits. And the dead tree doesn't give you
roof."

The first victims-prisoners of this war, which is conducted jointly by local and international rulers, are those imprisoned in concentration
camps, the immigrants and refugees. The drownings, the deaths caused by cold and malaise, the mass confinement, are a constant crime against
humanity that one can historically find on the darkest pages of colonialism and the great wars. And the same interstate formations that
forced millions of people to leave their homes, their friends and families, through the warfare and economic looting, that are now keeping
them in captivity, depriving them of any prospect of a decent life.

They are the same transnational formations that are working to extend their power by military means, with devastating consequences first for
the peoples of Africa and Asia and then for every people who stands in their path. The western coalition of states and its local allies,
having already made military attacks on Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen, Palestine and Syria, plundering most of the planet for centuries,
are preparing the next step. The transition from regional conflicts "via proxy" to generalized war in order to preserve the blood-painted
"status-quo" of their declining empire. The Greek State, as an integral part of NATO and the European Union, not only acts as a base for the
professional murderers, by constantly providing new ports and new bases for the US and NATO war machine, but also seeks to upgrade its role
by sending military forces, warships and missile systems and operators in order to participate directly in the preparation of a new massacre
of the peoples of Middle East. It unreservedly supports the apartheid in the state of Israel and has embarked on a contest of aggression
with the Turkish state, where geopolitical and economic influence in the Southeast Mediterranean is at stake. The policy of increasing
competition leads to a single path, the path of war, which means only death and misery for the people on both sides.

The land is shared with the rifle. Villager, don't expect, the light that is real from your sweat, that in front of you the sky will kneel."

Against the attack of the decayed world of authority and the dystopia of modern totalitarianism, where the great majority of the people is
being impoverished and subjugated, class and internationalist solidarity between the people is rising as the only prospect. The organization
of anti-war, internationalist mobilizations in order to stop the path towards destruction that the international political and economic
elites are imposing is a main objective for the next period.

The promising popular uprising in Chile, the popular protests in Ecuador and Colombia, the struggles all over Latin America, the strong
resistance in revolted Rojava, the ongoing protests in Greece, France, Turkey, Palestine, and the great and small points of resistance
around the world fill us with optimism and strength. They prove that the enemy might be strong but is not invulnerable! The strength and
connection of these struggles can change the course of history.

"We do not look at the immediate and the ephemeral. Our gaze goes further.

Up to the point where any man or woman who has just got up from bed can be seen fresh with the tender anxiety of knowing that they have to
decide their own fate, and that they will walk all day with the uncertainty imposed by the responsibility of giving meaning to the word
"freedom". Up there we look, up to the time and place where one supports the other."

The social and class movements, the anarchist-anti-authoritarian movement, their survival and their empowerment locally are valuable to
continue to be the sand in the gears of the rulers. In Greece, where the intention of uprooting them has been proclaimed in every way, there
can be no waiting. Every resistance front is a fortress, every struggle is a trench, every combative action is another sabotage against the
condition of political, economic and military occupation that they want to impose on everyone.

The mass demonstrations that started since August, with the demonstrations of September 14, November 17 and December 6 with the
participation of many thousands as its high peaks, the fighting attitude towards the repressive army, with the re-occupation of the evicted
squats and actions of counter-attack, the persistent actions of resistance on the streets, in the universities, the worker strikes are
bearing fruit. They have acted objectively, as a factor of halting the state aggression.

In order to be able to withstand over time, to enable the social-class and the anarchist movement to survive and develop from a bulwark to a
raid on the sky, to continue to exist and to transform our struggles from defensive ones into revolutionary preludes, we need the
organization of all those who struggle. At a social, class and political level, the strengthening and the creation of grassroots unions,
neighborhood assemblies and anarchist collectives is the only condition that can set against the power of the state, that offers nothing
more than an impoverishing, individualistic survival in a regime of exploitation and fear, the strength of the revolution for a society of
solidarity, equality and freedom.

Social and Class resistance is alive and will win!

To date, unlike what happened with H1N1 in 2009, many of us healthcare workers have not received our endowment of FFP2 masks needed to treat
patients. While the state had two months to build up reserves of these much-needed protections, it seems it has done nothing. ---- A
practitioner explains: "Not shaking hands with our patients is insufficient, will not protect us from contamination by air, it should be
understood that the shortage of FFP2 masks can quickly lead to the shortage of caregivers, by their quarantine, with the consequences that
this implies. ". ---- Obviously, the budgetary choices have been made, on the one hand, the State have enough budget for summits, meetings
and National Defense Council intended to dazzle the gallery, on the other, the State leaves health workers unprotected.

SHORTAGE OF FFP2 MASKS and PHASE 3 OF THE #CORONAVIRUS EPIDEMIC

As we indicated last Saturday, the stocks essential for the protection of workers do not exist, Health Ministers Buzyn and Veran lied to us
and are still lying to us. The few million masks that will be distributed are surgical masks that do not protect against contamination.

The transition to Phase 3 is the referral of coronavirus patients out of the hospital that will be overwhelmed towards the city. Doctors and
nurses will have to work unprotected with hypercontagious patients, the right to opt-out is ethically impossible for them.

To the politicians who run the administrations, who lay down standards that are as absurd as they are useless, we have only one word to say:
Bastards! On the other hand, the stocks of rubber bullets and grenades, that have been used by thousands against the Yellow vests, are full
.... On June 16, 2019, the French government was able to anticipate with sufficient time to order 25 million assault rifle cartridges and
40,000 anti-riots grenades, to be delivered for early 2020. Obviously, the State does not have the same priorities as the population

Other workers in public transport, hypermarkets, etc. must ask their employers for fully-paid hourly breaks to wash their hands,
hydroalcoholic gel if necessary, and adequate masks or otherwise exercise their right to opt-out.

RIGHT TO OPT-OUT

The absence of collective or individual protective equipment legitimizes the recourse to the right of employees to opt-out: Article L4131-1
of the French labor code stipulates that

"The worker immediately alerts the employer to any work situation which he has reasonable grounds to believe presents a serious and imminent
danger to his life or health and to any defect which he finds in the protection systems. He can withdraw from such a situation.

The employer may not ask the worker, who has made use of his right of withdrawal, to resume his activity in a work situation where a serious
and imminent danger persists, resulting in particular from a defective protection system. "

The EU, the Turkish and Greek state decided to play with human lives. Several immigrants try to pass the borders from Turkey to Greece and
Europe, but are being blocked violently by Greek forces. The Greek government decided to close the borders with the support of the EU and
keep anyone seeking asylum from getting in the country. ---- Frontex and the Greek coastguard violently prevent boats from reaching the
islands, while one child has drowned. NGOs and journalists covering the incidents in the islands have been attacked by nationalists. In the
land borders, the military, police forces, armed civilians and fascists gathered to block immigrants firing tear gas and even bullets. One
immigrant is dead and several wounded.

At the same time, those immigrants that are already in Greece live in camps in horrible conditions. The EU decided to provide 700 million
euros to the Greek state, while lots of money is spend for military and police operations. All this money and much more that's in the
pockets of those in power who get richer by exploiting our lives, could be used to help immigrants establish and live in Europe.

A special issue of the Employee Initiative Bulletin dedicated to Marcel Szary - one of the founders of the National Trade Union Employee
Initiative. ---- In the issue: ---- 10th anniversary of the death of Marcel Szary ---- We fulfill the will of Marcel Gray - the Employee
initiative is developing ---- "Record" - the story of Marcel Szary ---- Gray to gold - Marcel Szare's columns
----------------------------------------
March 30, 2010 in the hospital at Szkolna Street in Poznan,
after a long illness, Marcel Gray - founder, died
Employee Initiative and its chairman in the plants
Cegielski. It was a great loss for the Polish trade union movement
and employee.
Marcel Gray was an outstanding trade union and employee activist. During the Polish People's Republic, he belonged to the underground
"Solidarity", which he joined as a student of a vocational school. After 1989, no
agreeing with her conciliatory policy, he left Solidarity, creating
at HCP Solidarity 80, and then in June 2004 he became one of the organizers of the Employee Initiative committee. He was a multiple
representative of the crew on the management of H. Cegielski.
We will remember Marcel Szare as an uncompromising activist who has always put the interests of employees and union members in mind
over your own. He was deeply convinced that the employees at first
orders are fighting for their dignity. In 2007, the handicap crew repeatedly
she stopped work, demanding higher wages. In April, speaking
to the striking employees of Cegielski, Marcel argued that the pay proposals of the HCP Board should be rejected as definitely insufficient:
"Now this is not a fight for wages, this is not a fight
for better working conditions, this is a fight for our dignity. They were surprised
that workers demand more than just machine oil. "
Marcel Gray was often harassed for his activities.
In 2009, he was sentenced by a fine to the Poznan District Court
for organizing a strike in HCP in 2008. There were protests
a great success for the crew, which eventually managed to win a 30% salary increase.
In the Marcel Employee Initiative bulletin
he published his columns describing conditions and employment relations as well as divisions and conflicts within HCP with his own sarcasm
and humor.
In 2007, Marcel Gray developed leukemia. While fighting the disease, he continued his trade union activity. In December 2009, doctors said
the disease had receded.
Unfortunately for a short time. At the end of February 2010 he was back in the hospital. His condition
health began to deteriorate. In the last days of his life he got involved yet
in defense of hospital employees. Poznan media reported that he had sent it before his death

complaint about the working conditions of nurses. Dying at the age of 45, Marcel Gray left
his wife Beata and orphaned 8-year-old son.
On April 6, over 500 people attended Marcel Gray's funeral ceremony
in the Poznan Milostów. Employee Initiative delegations from all over the country came as well
representatives of other trade union organizations, including Miners from August 1980 with its chairman B. Zietek at the helm. Flower
bouquets on the grave were laid by representatives of various environments, including the 8th Day Theater, the Anarchist Federation, the HCP
board, the Poznan media, and the parish to which Marcel belonged,
and above all the Cegielski crew and other workplaces.
Condolences for the family and the Employee Initiative came from all over the world, including from the Swedish trade union SAC, the Spanish
CGT,
French CNT, British IWW, editors of "Inprecore" and activists
French NPA, from Czech and Slovak anarchists, Poles working in Ireland and Iceland. Obituaries and numerous obituaries appeared in the local
press
articles reminiscent of Marcel Szary's trade union activity.
Miners from August 1980 wrote in their condolence note:
"We will remember Marcel Szary as a steadfast fighting activist
for employees' rights and interests. He was not afraid to fight in a just cause regardless of political and political circumstances. He
didn't care
at risk and threat. He always acted in accordance with his beliefs
about the need to organize employees and fight the unjust
exploitation system. "
Writer and journalist Wlodzimierz Nowak wrote after Szare's death
in the daily press that he did not have time to publish a book about him: "I wanted to write about a worker who went into radicalism because
he lost his patience, because he does not agree that the worker disappears from this world and is replaced
temporary workers, employees, dispersed mass
different jobs. He believed in this bond that connects people working together physically in the factory, their strength and in this
community, which can also be seen after work,
in workers' quarters. "
Jaroslaw Urbanski, then the secretary of the Workers' Initiative, gave a short goodbye over the grave. that the union will continue to
fight, and the example of Marcel Gray will remain
for him an inspiration for further actions. He was above the gathered
black banner with the inscription: "For Marcel: Not a minute of silence, only
all my life in battle "!

permanent and temporary workers are united in front of the door of Khajurichara Tea factory. There, the workers of the tea garden raised
their demands. The presence of members of the police force is seen to avoid chaos.
Bhaskar Goala, president of Khajurichara Students and Youth Organization, said, "Babu's job in the tea garden is old, but they are kept by
contract. The laborers of our plantation work in the garden at very low wages. They teach their children with great difficulty. Although
there are so many posts in the tea garden, they are not given a chance. '

Tea workers have stopped work on various demands. Tea workers have protested and protested in Sri Mangalbazar's Shrimangal, demanding jobs
for the children of the well-educated tea-workers of Shrimangal Tea Garden in Moulvibazar. The workers' children also joined. They stopped
this work at the Khajurichara Tea Garden in the upazila on Tuesday. Permanent and temporary workers participated in the ceasefire at
Khajurichara students and youth organizations.

Bhaskar said, "Our demand is to stop this politics of contract in the tea plantation and educate the children of tea-workers to give them
jobs in those positions." External hiring should be stopped. We have sent our demands from DC to the Prime Minister's Office, but nothing is
happening. If our demands are not met, we will call for a harsh movement. '

Tea gardener Sukchan Buranji said, 'I educated my children so hard. Now they are unable to apply for jobs in the tea garden again and again.
We dreamed that children would get a good job while studying. But the tea garden authorities are repeatedly obstructing that dream. "

A woman tea worker named Ruhini Deshiara said, "Work is done by us in the tea garden. Our children are now being educated. As our spirit has
become attached to the garden, our children will be better able to do the great things in our garden. The way our children will benefit, the
tea garden authorities will benefit as well. After we say these words over and over again, nothing is working. They are giving us various
assurances. Nothing is working. '

Asked about a discussion on the matter, the manager of Khajurichara Tea Garden said, "At the end of the day, the workers have gone from work
breaks. The claim that they called for a ceasefire is not entirely logical. Nevertheless, we have offered a discussion on them. We will be
sitting next to them next Saturday. Hopefully there will be a nice solution. '
