World Trade Unions Mobilising for Democracy in Egypt: 8 February Action Day
4 February 2011: Trade unions around the world will join a Day of Action for Democracy in Egypt on 8 February, following a decision by the ITUC General Council meeting in Brussels today. Unions will organise demonstrations at Egyptian embassies, and continue to press their governments to demand democratic transition in Egypt and to ensure that those responsible for the violent repression of peaceful demonstrations are brought to justice.

“We will continue to push the international community to put pressure on the regime of Hosni Mubarak to respect the wishes of the Egyptian people. Our support for Egypt’s independent trade unions and the other forces for democracy is unwavering, and we are determined that there shall be no impunity for the people responsible for the killings, assaults and intimidation of innocent people,” said ITUC General Secretary Sharan Burrow.

4. Establishing Freedom for the Egyptian People - Next Steps

Establishing Freedom for the Egyptian People
(Remember the Power of the Pen is greater than the Sword)

1.Do not wait for the final ouster of the present Government to begin developing an interim Government.
2.Egyptian People should begin forming a Team of individuals to represent the people now.
3.Individuals should include those that are most closely aligned with the Egyptian People and have knowledge on economic development.
4.Do not set up Political Parties but focus on a Team that represents the humanitarian needs of the people. Political Parties will only divide the people and take away the focus of all the Egyptians on a humanitarian basis.
5.Include representation from the Military people that are not part of the existing government
-Keep in mind that the Military people only seek to maintain the same income and benefits that have been afforded them under the present Government (if they are assured this will be maintained, they will support a democratic country—let them know they can become of the Angels of Hope for the Egyptian people)
6.Once the Team has been formed, develop a list of priorities of the issues that will need to be dealt with right away (food, medical supplies, etc.) and how they can be accomplished.
7.Immediately develop a website to keep the people informed of what is occurring so they are not discouraged. Let them know of the Team’s accomplishments.
8.Develop an International Team of consultants that will assist the Egyptian people in transitioning to the Democracy they seek.
-Countries that are already a Democratic country or are transitioning in order to understand their Lessons Learned of what works and what doesn’t
-Request assistance in meeting immediate humanitarian needs for the people
9.Commit to the people that a government voted by the people will occur no later than the September election if not sooner and completion of a transition process.

The existing Government has only one remaining excuse as to why they can not leave. The excuse is that the Country will fall apart as there is no set plan to transition the Egyptians to the Democracy they seek.

Eliminate the excuse; build the Team and the freedom the Egyptians seek to achieve will occur.

God is Great and hears his children…continue to pray on a daily basis for God is Freedom.

8. Change Management

I have spent my entire life introducing change. There comes a point when you need to formalize processes, write down what needs to be accomplished or discussions will not lead to actions.

When processes are formalized, written and communicated, leadership of any type will have to respond. The people can continue to gather, support each other but must concurrently develop the strategy of what needs to be completed to prevent chaos, fear of the unknown, etc.

I do not have any personal contacts in Egypt and hope you will be the voice to spread the word. I have cried many tears for my brothers and sisters in Egypt but also understand Divine timing.

The time is now to take the freedom revolutionaries to the next stage.

Much Love
