Activistas de los movimientos occupy, 15m, indignados, etc comenzaron una campaña para lanzar la acción #globalNOISE #RuidoGlobal, una mani o cacerolada mundial planeada para el 13 de Octubre. La idea es que cada movimiento haga suya la propuesta, usando el método del ruido y el sonido para protestar por lo que ellos crean conveniente.
La cacerolada es un medio de llamar la atención sobre los problemas de nuestra comunidad a los que la estructura de poder no atiende, utilizando un método que es difícil de ignorar. (…)
