You are invited to participate and speak at the ‘Claim Your City ‘ walk
that will take place in the National Capital on Saturday, December 10th,
2011 on International Human Rights day. The walk will begin at 7:00pm
in front of Statesman Building and move towards Jantar mantar via
Tolstoy Marg. At Jantar Mantar there will be a sit in that people can
speak or give cultural expression to their concern.
On December 10th, 2011, International Human Rights day a group of
Community members, students and any other interested individual who
wants to join, will gather in front of Statesman house at Brakhamba Road
end point, to march in as symbolic effort to ‘claim the city by night’.
The expected participants are mobilized by youth groups like Manzil,
Pravah, Youth Collective, and workers and excluded peoples networks
like, Nirmana, Nacdor, Rashtriya Dalit Mahila Andolan, Muslim Women’s
organization, Sathi all for Partnerships, National Alliance for Labor
Rights, Habitat International Coalition, along with academics, students
and civil society groups. This is an opportunity for all of us to
resolve to work towards our empowerment and to conserve the natural
resource of the city for climate change adaptation. While doing this we
need to respect the right of all to essential services, infrastructure,
for a woman’s right to access the resources her city has to offer
through government schemes, for workers to ask for migration and
placement centres and youth to plan spaces for their learning and fun.
