Monday March 9, 2026, Voku for Maria Cristina. Second edition, food served from 7pm, no reservation.
Call out for solidarity with our trans sister María Cristina
We are calling for solidarity on behalf of our friend and sister María Cristina, who is currently being held in custody in the Stadelheim prison in Munich! María Cristina was violently arrested as a Black trans migrant woman. As always, the racist and transphobic judicial system is particularly structured against queer BPoCs (Black and People of Color). Individuals such as Maria Cristina find themselves in extremely precarious and unprotected situations.
At this moment, we know little about the accusations held against her and her current conditions. She is being detained in the male section of the prison. For a trans woman, this is a violent act and puts her in acute danger of physical, mental and emotional unsafety. She might also be more vulnerable because of her immigration status. Maria is such an important person to many in our community, she is an amazing housemate, friend and great cook and she makes life so much brighter for all of us. Our heart is hurting knowing that she is detained and we are very worried for her.
We are organizing letters of solidarity for Maria Christina, please write some warm words – preferably in Spanish, but English is also possible. Put the letter in the feedback box or behind the bar at the lesbian-queer center Lez (Müllerstrasse 26, Thursday 18-22 h, Friday and Saturday 18-23 h) or in the queer feminist bookstore Glitch (Barerstr. 70, Tuesday – Saturday, 11-19 h). You can also post letters to both addresses!
If you are not able to send post you can also send your letters to careemiko [at] gmail [dot] com and we will make them arrive.
If you can, please also donate some money, which we will send to her in prison or use for the costs of the lawyer.
