Demilitarise June 2nd






We are sick of war of arms, of military parades






The 2nd June is our national day, the festival women and men who recognise their aspirations in the Consititution that defines the rights of all, the right to work, the education, to health care..., and that repudiates war.

To reinterate our NO:


to WAR, to MILITARY SPENDING, to the CULTURE OF WAR, to the MILITARISATION of our land and our lives.

To say that we want a June 2nd that is DIFFERENT where we can celebrate as citizens of
:

  • a country that is welcoming, founded on respect, on listening, and on mutual recognition between men and women, natives and immigrants, between "us" and "the others".
  • a country where young people can have a future and old people a dignified and peaceful life
  • a country where common goods - air, water, land, energy, our artistic and cultural historical patrimony, the natural environment, the landscape
- remain outside the logic of the market
  • a country that knows how to face internal and international conflicts without recourse to force.
  • a country that invests not in arms and war but in culture, education, healthcare, employment.
