Catalans want to vote
On 8th June, at 12 midday (Catalan time, GMT+1), 10 groups are going to build human towers simultaneously at important locations in 8 European capitals, sharing the same message, telling people loud and clear that the Catalans want to decide their future on 9th November, 2014: Catalans want to vote!
The “Catalans want to vote. Human towers for democracy” project wants each and every one of us to speak out from the bottom of our hearts for democracy. We want our voice to be heard in Europe and the rest of the world through the Human Towers and what they represent telling the whole wide world that the Catalan people want to democratically decide their future as a nation.
Not only are the Human Towers one of the cultural events with the most repercussion internationally, declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, they also symbolize what Catalan men and women are yearning for at this historic moment in time: we group together, make the most of diversity and thanks to the combined effort of everyone involved, we manage to touch the sky.
