Every spring and summer for decades, many activist gatherings are organized across Europe allowing meetings, exchanges, debates between many activists, organizations, collectives and European networks, but also to act, through rallies, demonstrations and actions of civil disobedience or even more radical actions of sabotage in order to fight against the capitalist system, extractivist industries, social and environmental inequalities.
Dozens of these gatherings are planned throughout the summer, with bike trips to alternative places, or against atomic energy, climate camps, disobedience actions against extractivist industry (coal, gas, oil, concrete, etc.. ), highways, borders, nuclear power, arms industries, but also with numerous meetings, book fairs and conferences in order to imagine and put into action other ways of life, other societies, anti-capitalist, solidarity-based, cooperative, pacifist and respectful of all living things.
These struggles and gatherings are essential for European activists, in order to fight together, to develop networks of struggle, and to make a common front against those who try to enslave this world for their own interests, and thus destroy it. So, if you feel like joining them, here is the non-exhaustive agenda of the European militant gatherings of the summer 2023.
Don’t hesitate to complete the agenda in the comments if you know interesting events, it will be added in the article.
Have a good summer of struggles !
