San Precarious

Born in 2001 the Italian MayDay has become the most attended May Day demonstration in Europe: 120,000 people took the streets of Milan and danced until dawn in 2010 under the slogan “Precarious of the world, let’s fight!” Since 2004 San Precario is the patron saint of precarious European workers. The San Precario Network is devoted to defend the workers rights but we also strive to imagine a new set of rights, a new welfare that matches the needs and lives of this precarious generation. Born within the Italian social centers movement, our collective provides legal support, tactical help and social-media skills, as well as brand subverting and political theorizing. Our more recent campaigns are: Cash & Crash, a series of actions against evil companies wallets and brands; Welfare for Life! A campaign to guarantee fix income and free access to services; the Etats-General of Precarity, a general assembly of Italian and European movements which will be held in October; and of course, the EuroMayDay Parade. http://www.precaria.org EuroMayDay: http://www.euromayday.org Chainworkers: http://www.ecn.org/chainworkers Etats-General of Precarity (in English) http://www.precaria.org/general-assembly-of-the-estates-of-precarity.html Videos: San Precario appears http://www.youtube.com/chainworkers#p/a/u/1/KdgE5NY8p8U Tutti Santi Tutti Stronzi http://chainworkers.org/node/295 Mayday 2010 Special http://www.precaria.org/speciale-mayday-2010
