Voku Benefit to help A.casă in Cluj-Napoca

By: börek - October 13th, 2024  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Thursday October 17, 2024, Voku Benefit to help A.casă in Cluj-Napoca by ZZW Rafelrand and friends. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

This is Call-out for support. A.casă social center in Cluj-Napoca (in so called Romania), the place where multiple informal political radical groups organise, needs your help. Since the new location opened in 2020, lots of energy and money were put into making the space safer, comfortable and better fitting the needs of the people using it. Electricity, gas and water installation were replaced and the roof was fixed, besides many other thing.
Now we just realised we need to reinforce the foundation of one 10 meters long wall of the house, otherwise we risk that the wall will continue to crack and maybe even collapse in time.
We need to do all the necessary work and fix this in November. We are reaching out to groups, friends and initiatives abroad which could organise small solievents for A.casă, so that we can raise the amount needed.
If you would like to help with that, please get in touch by mail.

Solidarity is our weapon!
You are always welcome in A.casă

Solidarity VoKu-New Energy for Rojava

By: börek - October 6th, 2024  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Thursday October 10, 2024, Solidarity VoKu-New Energy for Rojava. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Solidarity VoKu-New Energy for Rojava. Fundraiser for solar panels in Rojava! For a democratic and ecological alternative in the Middle East. https://www.solardarity-rojava.org/

Energy crisis in Rojava
The Rojava Autonomous Region in northern and eastern Syria has been in existence for 12 years and is a glimmer of hope for democratic reconstruction in Syria. Since its foundation, Rojava has had to defend itself against numerous threats. In addition to the clashes with the Assad regime, the main threats have been the wars with Turkey and the so-called Islamic State.
Now, however, the autonomy project is facing existential challenges. The energy supply is threatening to collapse. Turkish air strikes have largely destroyed the power stations and substations in the region. Electricity is in short supply and is mostly generated by dirty diesel generators. The civilian population suffers from a lack of electricity and water on a daily basis, but agriculture – in a region already hardest hit by climate change – is also severely affected.

‍Clean energy as a solution
But we can do something. With clean energy from the sun in Syria. The installation of decentralised solar panels should help to supply municipal facilities, hospitals, schools and women’s shelters with electricity.
We are therefore raising one million euros for solar panels to supply public facilities in northern and eastern Syria with sustainable electricity. In this way, we can make a difference and contribute to the further development of a democratic, gender-equitable and ecological alternative in the Middle East.
Let’s make a difference together: let’s send new energy to Rojava!

SKRAPS solidarity kitchen: benefit dinner supporting the Iku community in Colombia. Concert by Catsnout

By: börek - September 30th, 2024  Filed under: Benefiet, Muziek, Volkseten/Voku

Monday September 30, 2024, SKRAPS solidarity kitchen: Benefit dinner supporting the Iku community in Colombia in reclaiming their ancestral land. Concert by Catsnout. Food served from 7pm, no reservation. Music from 8:30pm.

We are SKRAPS (Soup Kitchen for Radical Actions and Political Solidarity), an Amsterdam-based cooking collective with the goal of transforming rescued food into tasty vegan dishes, which are then used to support national and international initiatives.
This Voku is dedicated to the Iku people, an indigenous community from Colombia currently striving to acquire ancestral land. Their goal is to reclaim their territory, and build a space to educate young students and nurture future mamos and sagas (spiritual leaders). By doing so, they aim to preserve their ancestral wisdom and actively deconstruct colonial heritage.
In this Voku, we hope to support them in reclaiming their land, and we invite you to join us in this endeavour.

After the dinner, there will be a concert by the band Catsnout who writes about themselves: “hello, we make fun yelling heartfelt anti-folk. Welcome to our acoustic experiment in Joe’s Garage, bring your flutes please!” The show will start around 20:30. […Lees verder]

Solidarity VoKu for an anarchist prisoner

By: börek - September 22nd, 2024  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Monday September 23, 2024, Free Casey Goonan! Solidarity VoKu for an anarchist prisoner. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

We’ll be cooking to support Casey Goonan, an American anarchist facing 5-20 years in federal prison for the alleged firebombing of a UC Berkeley police vehicle. A campaign has been set up to support Casey, spread the word about their case and raise money for legal costs.

An anonymous communique posted to Indybay took credit for the action in solidarity with the Palestinian resistance and university occupations throughout California. Casey was arrested on June 17th, more than two weeks after the alleged arson. They are being held in federal custody in Santa Rita jail in California.

Casey has a long history of organizing mutual aid in Chicago and supporting prisoners throughout the so called United States. They continue to study and organize behind bars and have already engaged in a hunger strike to demand better conditions for their cellmates. Come eat at Joe’s to show solidarity and learn more about their case.

Updates from the Casey Support Committee
– update from July 13, 2024 https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2024/07/16/18868038.php

Amsterdam BANGS Joe’s Garage! VoKu + Performances

By: börek - September 18th, 2024  Filed under: Benefiet, Muziek, Theater, Volkseten/Voku

Thursday 19 September 2024, Amsterdam BANGS Joe’s Garage! VoKu + Performances Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Come by Joe’s Garage for a three course vegan meal on donation from 19:00, as a fundraiser for Palestine Mutual Aid. After, enjoy some banging free shows! Clowning, music, theatre! All in one!

Rango Starr will perform a synth piece, telling a story of an ancient uprising, in the form of a black bloc turned cop clown hilarity.
Radio Plantsoen feat. Madame Favorella and G.G. Axum are performing a JA! Redux.
A spoken word performance on a video and music base. Inspired by the project Ja! by Simon Vinkenhoog & Spinvis Combo
Zaza is going to do something, too:
‘My Shy Colors Raging Dreams’,
It will be soft-eery and a tiny bit absurd, wuuuhuuuuuuu

Amsterdam BANGS is a politically charged joyride taking place all over Amsterdam during September 19th to 22nd. Get ready for a BANGING theatre and performance festival, organised by anarchists, artists, and activists, to take over not just traditional venues, not just the squats, not just the streets, not just your local Albert Heijn, not just your ING help desk but even your own home. BANGS is non-hierarchically and self-organised: anyone can propose their show, wherever they want, create any workshop or performance, so long as it’s non-commercial and BANGING. Stages are kept behind gates, giving space only to certain voices. We want Amsterdam to be our stage and hear the voices of many! We wish for soft, loud, ludicrous, experimental performance art and activism to take over the city and shake it up! Have the city become our playground.
