Land, Housing, Work for a DECENT LIFE and for all the WORKING CLASS     

 "A project of destruction" is what is put ahead in the world and it is referred to by the capitalist system. A brutal concentration of wealth in some hands, under the command of rentier and speculative capital, causes, year after year, that 1% of the population currently owns 82% of the total GDP. However, the bourgeois elite of the planet, which is not satisfied with such concentration of wealth, attacks the working class to take away the rights acquired in the course of time and through numerous struggles, sufferings and bloodshed. This attack takes place not only with changes in the legislation, but also with the labour precariousness and massive dismissals which increases the army of the unemployed throughout the world.   

Another practice of destruction, promoted by this diabolical system, is to reduce the power of the government, to diminish the investments in the Social Protection, Health and Education, to eliminate public policies of insertion and of rent distribution, to dismantle social programmes what lead to the marginality and extreme poverty of the millions of human beings on the five continents. Thus, the State, as an institution that, in a modern democracy, belongs to all and that must be for all, becomes a guarantor instrument of privileges of a possessing minority, that has never enough and always appropriate, through the times, of natural resources, - (The sources of energy: land, food and water - the inheritance of God for all humanity) so that everything is transformed into merchandise, into goods, into privatised wealth to satisfy the hunger of the global financial elite and to prevent human beings and other living beings from surviving.     

We also see as a practice of destruction, - granted by the bourgeois elite of the planet,- the attack on democratically elected popular governments, particularly in the developing countries, which accumulated, until the end of the 20th century, a delay deep economic, social and political. In these countries, organized popular struggles (in which the role of churches was very important for social movements, trade unions and various workers' associations), have led to the defeat of dictatorial regimes, as in Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, etc., and the position ahead of the democratic governments. Against these legitimate governments in the Southern Hemisphere at this moment in history, a new agenda is now imposed, hypocritical, moralizing and fascist, and which is articulated by the global economic elite. This new power, so coupled with the retrograde national elites, controlled by corruption the great media and, linked to the legislative and judicial powers, hits the democratically elected governments, pursues the politi cal leaders and provokes a true setback.     

Finally, millions of working families across the continents are constantly threatened by religious and political conflicts, forced to leave their country of origin and, dispersed, forced to migrate to uncertain destinations, in search of survival, on land not always welcoming. Before such calamity, before such violence, World Movement of Christian Workers (WMCW) gathers together other movements and social organizations throughout the world, calls all Churches, all religions and even those without belief, goodwill men and women, to affirm together:

NO TO AN ECONOMY OF EXCLUSION!, NO TO THE NEW IDOLATRY OF MONEY! NO TO MONEY WHICH RULES RATHER THAN SERVES!, NO TO SOCIAL INEQUALITY WHICH SPAWNS VIOLENCE!

AND WE MUST SCREAM LOUDLY AND STRONGLY: "NO WORKER WITHOUT HOUSING, WITHOUT LAND, UNEMPLOYED". "DEMAND A DECENT LIFE FOR ALL WORKING CLASS!"
