Economic Disobedience

Civil Disobedience

By civil disobedience we understand a public, non-violent, conscious and politic practice, that civil society undertakes, against a law or authority order considered unjust or illegitimate, in order to invalidate the law or order and introduce a new law that recognizes de facto those social and civil rights that are being denied by the law. When, as in Spain, ways of political expression is limited to institutional channels and elections every four years, without the existence of direct participation and consultation mechanisms, civil  disobedience becomes an essential tool to denounce and express the rejection of an unjust law or policy.
Economic disobedience 
We place a special emphasis on the economic disobedience, that would be a concentrated form of civil disobedience to free ourselves from private or state economic power, to ellaborate our resources to building alternatives to the current economic system. Thus, the economic disobedience includes all these forms of civil or social disobedience aiming to empower free people, breaking the chains that enslave us in the current capitalist system.

Economic disobedience offices
The economic disobedience offices (ODE in Spanish) are places where people with disobedient intentions share their concerns and knowledge. We can perceive them as places of collective learning through mutual support and cooperation. The participants can take new steps to implement in their personal and collective lives. They exist as physical spaces in different regions as well as on a virtual level.
