Benefit Voku for a Sudanese refugee family, by SKRAPS Solidarity Kitchen

Thursday September 5, 2024, Benefit Voku for a Sudanese refugee family, by SKRAPS Solidarity Kitchen. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

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, and by that showing solidarity with national and international resistance initiatives.

On this Thursday we are cooking a wonderful vegan meal (yes, there will be dessert) from rescued ingredients in Joe’s Garage, raising money for our friend Mohammed and his family, who had to flee the war in Sudan and are trying to build a new life abroad.

In April 2023 a horrible war broke out in Sudan and it has been raging ever since. The humanitarian situation in the country is deteriorating, making it almost impossible to survive. One of the affected people is Mohammed from Al-Qadarif. He and his family lost everything in the war: friends and colleagues, their homes, their jobs. Luckily, the whole family was able to flee Sudan and is now in Egypt. But life as a refugee is hard. They are trying to move on but lack the financial means to build a new life abroad. We are raising money to support for Mohammed and his family to ease their current circumstances and plant the seed of a new beginning. […Lees verder]

VoKu benefit for a (no) border collective

Monday September 2nd, 2024, VoKu benefit for a (no) border collective. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Progetto20k is a self-organized collective actively struggling since 2016 against the border system. It is located in the region of Ventimiglia, on the Italian side of the coastal border with France. It aims to support People on the Move who face the violence of the European racist migration policies.
The collective has the aim of being a horizontal, anti-racist, transfeminist and anti-capitalist project that takes decisions in assembly. This past months it has been active directly at the border for monitoring and information, and in the city campement of Via Tenda, opening the self-organized space Upupa. Progetto20k has been trying to bring forth their autonomous politics in the struggle, working alongside several humanitarian organizations active on the territory.
The collective recently had to stop their activities this summer, but there is always money needed for house repairs and possibly re-starting again after using this break for internal reflections.
Come along for a delicious meal because the only good nation is a donation 😉

Benefit voku for Disgraça in Lisbon

Monday August 26, 2024, Benefit voku for Disgraça in Lisbon. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

News from Disgraça, Lisbon https://disgraca.com/ : as you may have heard, after 9 years of horizontal, autonomous, anti-authoritarian mischief, we’re making an effort to buy Disgraça!
It all started on 11 September 2015. Atop one of Lisbon’s hills, the doors of Disgraça opened in a former school. From the vapid white walls, from the empty, echoing rooms, from the multitude of wills that converged in that place, this restless project blossomed. Walls fell, walls rose, walls were scribbled on. And as if it were a spring of insubordination from the depths of the city’s subsoil, we materialised, room by room, each one’s community potential. Moved by common dreams, desires and needs, we built a canteen and community space, a library, a DIY concert hall, a workshop where chaos reigns, a rehearsal room and a screen printing room, a gym (the tidiest place in the building), the free shop Desumana, and, from the memory of an empty shop front, a cosy anarchist bookshop – Tortuga.

A No Border Camp 2024 will take place soon in the Netherlands, from August 21st till 25th. Location will be somewhere in the center of the Netherlands. From their website: “This year we are organizing another No Border Camp to take action, exchange knowledge and further build the movement. This concerns all aspects of the repressive migration policy in the Netherlands and Europe, such as border externalization and militarization, the exploitation of migrant workers, the situation in AZCs, detention and deportations, and the rise of the extreme right…”
There were various No Border camps held in the Netherlands these last years, in Wassenaar in 2019, in Rotterdam in 2022, in Groningen in 2023. A previous camp took place in Rotterdam in 2013. In July 2002 in Strasbourg, the No Border camp gathered around 3000 activists: http://www.noborder.org/strasbourg/

Voku benefit Woningsdag w/ live music: Lyngfarer and Ancient Hostility (anarcho folk)

Monday July 22, 2024, Voku benefit Woningsdag w/ live music: Lyngfarer and Ancient Hostility (anarcho folk). Food served from 7pm, no reservation. Music from 8pm.

The benefit money will go to the costs of Woningsdag, every year while the country celebrates Koningsdag we celebrate Woningsdag because the urgency to get everyone housing is more important than Monarchy. Last Woningsdag, on April 27, 2024, a building got squatted in the city center (Gravenstraat 26-28). We still have some unpaid costs and that’s why we have a benefit.

There will be live music performance as well with Lyngfarer and Ancient Hostility, the anarcho folk night from Joe’s this summer:
Lyngfarer https://lyngfarer.bandcamp.com/
“Lyngfarer is the quiet and pensive stuff that Magnus Nymo from Norway writes. It lives in the fog between medieval lore and anarchist dbeat classics but is quiet enough to be a lullaby. Magnus started performing as Lyngfarer in 2015 and has since then hung out and toured around Europe, Scandinavia, Ireland and the US and UK.”
Ancient Hostility (anarcho folk): “Harmony singing and drones from members of All In Vain and Dawn Ray’d, singing songs about heartbreak and resistance.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g27Bhsxzrvc […Lees verder]
