This November 20 is celebrated as Children's Rights Day.

This November 20 we see once again that in Paris children are sleeping outside.

This November 20, we call on people to shout loud and clear that we do not accept that our children's classmates, that parents of students in our school, that our students and their families are cold, afraid, have the feeling of being abandoned and living outside of humanity.

We refuse that silence or “ we can't do anything » are the only answers given to our students and their families by those in this country who have institutional or political responsibilities.

This is why this November 20, for the 3^e time since the start of the school year, we will demonstrate so that the premises of the former Georges Brassens high school are transformed into an accommodation center. At least for this winter and more broadly as long as the work for the future projects announced in these buildings is not initiated. These premises, due to their capacity, could allow many homeless children who live in Paris to sleep in a shelter this winter and continue their education. presque » normal surrounded by their family. While waiting for the necessary arrangements for this transformation, other places must be able to be opened in Paris so that no child lives outside.

Article 27 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which recognizes “ the right of every child to a standard of living sufficient to enable their physical, mental, spiritual, moral and social development “. No community can tolerate abandoning families and minors on the streets and everything must be done to protect children and minors in general.

Also, on this November 20, in addition to our gathering on the 19^eseveral events will take place:

For the collectives organizing these events as for us, it is the concern for the common good that drives us above all and the idea that every adult in this world has a responsibility towards the children who inhabit it, whether they are our children or not.

Making Kafka’s phrase our own, “ The chains of tortured humanity are made of ministry paper “, we do not accept administrative and political justifications serving as a pretext for letting children sleep outside. Not a child on the street ! A roof is a right !

Let's gather at 5 p.m. in front of the Georges Thill school for a demonstration that will go to the town hall on the 19th.^e passing through Brassens high school.
