Allt startade vid ett möte mellan vänner sommaren 2004. Vi dagdrömde om att öppna en bar. Men så sa någon, "Vad om dom ber oss om pizzo?". På sicilien är pizzo namnet på så kallade skyddspengar, systemet som maffian använder för att ta ut skatt och kontrollera sitt territorium. Nästa dag vaknade Palermo upp med dessa lappar på väggar, lyktstolpar och telefonkiosker:

Det står "Ett helt folk som betalar pizzo är ett folk utan värdighet". I motsats till det förväntade tycktes staden vakna upp och reagera. Runt omkring pojkarna som satt upp lapparna första natten samlades en grupp av unga som delade samma idé. Så länge någon fortsätter betala pizzo kommer vi inte vara fria. Om min bagare betalar pizzo betalar jag också maffian när jag köper bröd, och även jag överger mig själv till maffian. På detta sätt föddes Comittee Addiopizzo.

Sedan de första lapparna sattes upp har vi kommit en lång väg. Framförallt har vi funnit en ny strategi för att bekämpa maffian; kritisk shopping mot pizzo. Kampanjen "Mot pizzo, ändra dina köpvanor" vill skapa en grupp av konsumenter i Palermo och i regionen som kan stödja affärsverksamhet och står upp mot skyddspengar och utpressning - genom att överkomma sin rädsla.

Du kan visa ditt stöd för vår kampanj även om du inte bor i Italien genom att fylla i formulär och lämna ett meddelande om du vill.
