The Bawley 100 – New Years Eve 2011/2012


Global civil society is being threatened by an end of year list system based on power and not on human values. Year after year, best-of lists are published that repress basic freedoms and consistently favour the greed of the few over the needs of the many. This power finances mediocrity, blandness, and monopolies of critical acclaim. It sponsors dictatorial regimes across the globe, destroying ear drums while manipulating and censoring information flow and transparency.

This New Year’s Eve, the Bawley team will stand together to demand a 2011 best-of list that delivers the rights we were promised in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

We are the 99% - Occupy Bawley.
