The CC has just decided to extend the discussion period about the ways DiEM25 will try to influence politics (namely, whether we should explore endorsing parties, having DiEM25 lists or DiEM25 parties, in addition to what we're already doing). The new deadline for contributing your opinion about this question of principle is the end of September.

Up at Silly O’Clock and flying to Hamburg in a few hours for a bit of constructive disobedience :)
Our proposal to add a 7th pillar to DiEM25’s Progressive Agenda for Europe – the Internet of People; a progressive technology policy for Europe – was approved by the Validating Council by 95.65% of the vote.
I look forward to working with all of you to draft a compelling democratic, decentralised, and progressive counter-narrative to Silicon Valley’s #SurveillanceCapitalism

Constructive Disobedience
“To be progressive and constructive, disobedience must be accompanied by counter-proposals fully outlining alternative policies to the ones that we disobey.”—Srećko Horvat
Join us for an evening of constructive disobedience at the G20. Starts 19:30 on 7 July, 2017 at the Audimax lecture hall on the University of Hamburg campus. No RSVP necessary.
