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

By: börek - August 3rd, 2023  Filed under: Benefiet, Muziek, Volkseten/Voku

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

By: börek - August 3rd, 2023  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

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?
Mail: nbc-2023 [at] riseup [dot] net ”

By: börek - July 11th, 2023  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

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.

Benefit Voku for The Future

By: börek - July 2nd, 2023  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Monday 3rd july 2023, Benefit Voku for The Future. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

The signs of the times have been littering the doors of squat WC’s and the stands of book and magazine fairs. The signs of The Future Times, that is. Squatters from 2123 have travelled back in time to the year they believe could be a turning point in the war against environmental degradation and capitalist exploitation, to give us a fresh and urgent perspective from a drowned Amsterdam 100 years in the future. On the night of 7 July, the squatters of the future invite all forms of expression of frustration at the current state of the world to be demonstrated on Spui. But they will need a bit a funding to pull this off. The voku tonight will benefit these time travelling activists in their mission to turn the tides of history and rile up enthusiasm for creating change today!

Benefit Voku to support Phoenix Amsterdam

By: börek - June 28th, 2023  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Thursday 29 june 2023, Benefit Voku to support Phoenix Amsterdam. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

This Voku Benefit goes to support Phoenix Amsterdam, a safe space and peer support community under het Wereldhuis for LGBTQ!+ people in forced displacement. Phoenix is self-organized, meeting several times a month to cook, share information and build community after what is often a very difficult journey to the Netherlands. Right now, they are working towards their independence, because they currently receive a small stipend from the Diaconie van de Protestantse Gemeente te Amsterdam, which isn’t nearly enough to support their work in the community (e.g. paying for legal aid). They are also on the lookout for an office space, so information as well as donations is much appreciated!

Voku benefit: in Defense of Barroso

By: börek - June 16th, 2023  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Monday 19 June 2023, Voku benefit: in Defense of Barroso. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.
Join Us for a Voku in Defense of Barroso!

Come to the benefit dinner at Joe’s Garage, where we will raise funds for the camp as well as for the legal actions we are undertaking to stop the mine.

From the 10th to the 15th August, all roads lead to northern Portugal, where locals and their allies are organizing the 3rd edition of the Camp in Defense of Barroso.

In Barroso, the British multinational Savannah Resources, with the help from the Portuguese State and the European Union, wants to open what would be Europe’s biggest open-pit lithium mine. This mine, touted as a “green” solution for the energy transition, is actually far from green: it threatens to displace the local population, pollute the waters and destroy the forests of this protected area, classified as World Agricultural Heritage Site.

For the past seven years, locals and their allies have been resisting the prospective lithium mine and rejecting the false “green” solutions that capitalism seeks to impose. In Barroso, we are confronting and deconstructing the idea that the energy transition has to go through unbridled extractivism, the depletion of all natural resources, the dispossession of rural territories, and the incessant search for profit and capital accumulation.

For the past 2 years, we organize a Camp, where hundreds of people from all over the world join us in solidarity. The third edition of the camp is just around the corner and we invite you to join us this summer. The Portuguese government is announcing its final decision, and we need your support more than ever!

GREEN IS BARROSO!
NO TO MINES, YES TO LIFE!
