Introduction

From grassroots to revolution!  #

Gathering for Building Autonomy in Catalonia, June 4-7, 2026 #

Day by day, we work to solve social problems by the self-organisation of society. We see people losing their homes and jobs on their way towards total misery, youth turning antisocial and nihilist, patriarchal violence reemerging in our neighborhoods, aggressions to the land instead of cures for the ecological catastrophe, social mistrust and insecurity, and the rise of all sorts of authoritarian governments…  

Despite all this, we put daily efforts in associations, neighborhood initiatives, housing unions, migrant support, self-management projects and rural life, because we understand that these are the real possibilities of building up a better communal life for everyone based on cooperation and popular solidarity. Many questions come up during our work:  

  • How can we face the escalation of crises if we were already struggling to address them before?  
  • How can we keep the hope when there are so many voices warning of dark times ahead?
  • How can we balance between attending to the immediate situations and overcoming the roots of these crises?
  • How do we develop a healthy and sustainable way of struggling?
  • Is there a qualitative step we can take that can guide us to a new florishing of social creativity and out of the contradictions of resignation, suicide, genocide and sociocide?

To answer these questions, organizing together internationally is deeply needed. Internationalism strenghens our local struggles and provides a united social solution to the global developments of war, hate and destruction.

Our self-organized gathering #

Join us for a self-organized gathering in Catalonia from June 4-7, 2026 with grassroots organizers across Europe! This is a unique opportunity to come together as an international community to address critical issues related to our shared experiences of social struggle and self-organization. In practical skill-sharing sessions regarding our concrete grassroots works, we will identify common problems and put together our collective knowledge, creativity and experience to overcome them. We will work collaboratively on urgent social issues such as housing, gender equality, security and militarization, ecology, colonialism and health. We aim to showcase how self-organization is already happening across Europe. By organizing together in the long term, we want to strengthen our connections, amplify our voices and promote a vision of hope that counters the rising fascism, war and hate. 

Let’s come together and reclaim the initiative! Fill out the registration form now or contact us for more details at the email address below.
