GKN factory occupation needs YOUR help to start green production under workers control

Описание: **URGENT CALL OUT TO SUPPORT THE GKN WORKERS IN FLORENCE **

For over two years now, workers have been occupying the GKN autoparts factory in Florence to stop it from closing, in the longest factory occupation in Italian history.

They have received huge support in demonstrations of up to 40,000 people - and crucially, from the climate movement, which inspired the workers to come up with an alternative plan of production. Instead of autoparts, they plan to produce cargo bikes and solar panels, and use them to build a local economy based on the needs of people.

Now they urgently need your help to make this "just transition" away from fossil fuels a reality. The bosses are planning on sacking all the workers on January 1st so the first priority is to come to a New Years Eve event at the factory if you can, for a huge concert - and to barricade the factory. They've fought off redundancies before; with the same support, they can do it again.

But then they need to raise one million euros in a popular shareholder campaign, to start production off the cargo bikes and solar panels under workers control. So please share this video call out with trade unions, with environmental organisations, with everyone who wants to see a global just transition away from fossil fuels. Shares start from 100 euros, and already they have raised 315,000 euros - you can find details of how to take part at https://insorgiamo.org/100x10-000/, and see the end of the video for more ways you can help.

As the workers say, they can't create an alternative model to capitalist fossil fuel production in just one factory - but they can create an example of what is possible. Please support them in this absolutely crucial battle for a liveable, sustainable future.
