Vegan Dinner and DIY Market in solidarity with No Border Kitchen, Lesvos.

Monday 11 september 2023, Vegan Dinner and DIY Market in solidarity with No Border Kitchen, Lesvos. Market stands open at 17:00. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

No Border Kitchen Lesvos is a self-organised group of independent individuals who maintain a solidarity structure on the Greek Island of Lesvos. The main purpose of the collective is to support travellers who are unable to progress with their journey due to European migratory policies. Through a praxis based on mutual aid and solidarity, we take a stand against border policies and the suffering they are causing.

Alongside providing basic needs, we are trying to offer a viable alternative to the way travellers are treated by mainstream NGO’s, governments, and local authorities, which is often characterised by condescension, coupled with a dehumanising and infantilising attitude.

If you want to participate in the DIY Market with your own stuff please send us and email beforehand at ilves76 [at] proton [dot] me . You can add your desired percentage in your crafts to support the No Border Kitchen!

Voku Benefit for legal support group and squat in Briancon

Thursday 7 september 2023, Voku Benefit for legal support group and squat in Briancon . Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Come eat our delicious vegan food 🙂 The money of the voku will go to the “Groupe Sans Nom”, a collective active in Briancon who organizes collective and individual legal support at the French Italian border to make sure people on the move know their rights. They also help with connecting people crossing the border with solidarity networks across the country and arranging a safe travel. They need money at the moment to continue organizing this support. Another part of the money will go to Le Pado, a squat that opened in Briancon on the 7th of August to host people and that is currently struggling to make the building livable due to the repression of the municipality.

Voku for Roma Community in Slovakia – Performance by Your Local Pirates!

Monday 21 august 2023, Voku for Roma Community in Slovakia Whose Village Has Burnt Down. Performance by Your Local Pirates! Food served from 7pm, no reservation. Music from 8:30pm.

We kindly ask you for your support of more than 70 Roma people in Telgárt, Slovakia, whose housing burnt down this July. These people were already living in slums, often without water or electricity and have no means to recover on their own. They are now living in tents with very few possessions.
As Roma people are the most marginalized community in Slovakia, this tragedy was given little to no attention in media, nor on any crowdfunding platform.
We would like to donate the money to the crowdfunding call of the Telgárt municipality that is currently providing them with tents, food, clothes, hygienic products and other essentials.

We will have a yummy and filling vegan dinner. After, there will be a performance by Your Local Pirates! You can check out their website here: https://yourlocalpirates.noblogs.org

Benefit voku No Border Camp 2023

Monday 7 august 2023, Benefit voku No Border Camp 2023. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

A No Border Camp is announced in the Netherlands from 21 till 27 august 2023: “This summer, somewhere in the Dutch-occupied territories, the fifth edition of No Border Camp will take place. It will be a week full of actions, workshops and discussions around the topic of migration, its repression and its liberation.
As the name of the camp suggests, we dream of a world without borders. A world in which everyone is able to move freely, without risk of detention, deportation or exploitation. A world without Frontex. But we won’t let these dreams be limited to our imagination. We fully intend on realising these dreams in the here and now, unapologetically, together. This means exploring intersecting areas of struggle like climate justice, anti-racism and anti-militarism, and strengthening the connections between them. And between us. Because solidarity is our weapon.
We hope to bring the undocumented and documented together to exchange knowledge, share stories, forge connections and build a strong, collective resistance to borders everywhere.
The location will be announced shortly before the start of the event.
Do you have ideas for workshops or actions? Want to help organise?

Benefit Voku in solidarity with the squatted neighbourhood of Prosfygika

Monday 17 July 2023, Benefit Voku in solidarity with the squatted neighbourhood of Prosfygika. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

“Prosfygika”, or otherwise refugee homes, is a complex of residential flats built in 1930’s to house refugees resulting from the Asia Minor conflict between Greece and Turkey. The buildings are situated on a central avenue of Athens, surrounded on either side by the police HQ and the supreme court, in a heavily gentrified area . After years of abandonment, Prosfygika has been increasingly reclaiming its original purpose as many refugees, migrants, poor, greek and foreigner working class people have sought to resolve their need for housing by squatting the empty flats.
