Documentation of the general parts of a collective call which was discussed among European activists in summer 2013, as a possible call for common actions. While some groups signed this call others prefered to be less explicit in the strategical perspectives and especially the implicated strict commitments, which we leave away in this quotation. The text still may serve as some reference point for discussions about an European strategy.

Proposals for trans-european action and advocacy
Late April 2013 activists from tenant organizations, local urban movements, militant research and international housing rights networks met in Essen and Wuppertal (Germany) for internal and public meetings. They discussed reasons and possible tasks of international solidarity cooperation in the field of housing and cities under the conditions of financialisation and crisis, austerity regimes and urban transformation. Coming from Barcelona, Berlin, Hamburg, Istanbul, London, Madrid, Padova, Paris, Pescara, the Ruhr-District, Rotterdam, Santiago, Vienna the also brainstormed some ideas for coordinated activities in future. The results were fixed in a letter to movements in Europe. Below we are quoting the still interrsting parts of it.
