By: börek - October 19th, 2023  Filed under: Benefiet, Muziek, Volkseten/Voku

Monday 23 October 2023, Justice for Kostas Manioudakis. Rebetiko night, voku and concert with Rebet GuitarS. Food served from 7pm, music from 9pm, no reservation.

On Friday, September 1st, 2023, 58-year-old Kostas Manioudakis was murdered by cops on a rural road in Crete after being beaten up, for a small amount of cannabis, which has not been yet confirmed. The cops in their statements claimed that he died suddenly from heart attack during police check, which is non-existent and is proven both by the testimonies of passers-by and by the obvious signs of beating. The purpose of the rebetiko night is to financially support the family of Kostas in the difficult struggle it has to fight for justice.

On the stage after the food, Rebet GuitarS (Jaap Faber and Charis Konstantinou), a guitar duo: https://joesgarage.nl/archives/tag/rebet-guitar
Rebetiko, the music crossroad between middle east and west from the early 1900’s. Songs about love, joy and sorrow. A musical sub-culture, a music of the lower classes.
“The womb of rebetiko was the jail and the hash den. It was there that the early rebetes created their songs. They sang in quiet, harsh voices, unforced, one after the other, each singer adding a verse which often bore no relation to the previous verse, and a song often went on for hours. There was no refrain, and the melody was simple and easy.” Ilias Petropoulos. […Lees verder]

Horeca United fundraiser voku

By: börek - October 13th, 2023  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Monday 16 October 2023, Horeca United fundraiser voku. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.
Seeing how our dispute with Hague coffee company Lupi Coffee has escalated, we have to hold a fundraiser. Unpaid work, underpaid staff, intimidation: this company has treated its personnel horribly. Now the boss chooses to intimidate us by dragging us before the judge. Come and support us, and show the boss that we working people stand strong together! As a horeca union, most of our most active members are cooks and chefs, so we offer a high standard. Our case has also been picked up by BOOS so we’ll be showing their episode about it after the meal.

Horeca United verzamelingsactie

Gezien hoe onze huidige arbeidsconflict tegen Haagse koffiezaak Lupi Coffee geëscaleerd heeft moeten wij een verzamelingsactie houden. Onbetaald werk, onderbetaalde personeel, intimidatie: deze zaak heeft zijn personeel verschrikkelijk mishandeld. Nu kiest de baas voor intimidatie door ons voor de rechter gooien. Kom ons steunen, en laat de baas weten dat wij werkende mensen samen sterk staan! Omdat wij een horeca vakbond zijn zijn de meeste van onze bezigste leden koks en chef-koks dus we bieden een hoge standaard aan.
Onze zaak is ook door BOOS opgepakt dus we zullen hun episode erover tonen na het diner.

Voku for Piepend en Krakend

By: börek - October 8th, 2023  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Monday 9 October 2023, Voku for Piepend en Krakend. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Come eat some sexy noodles cooked by feminists who got their funds saved by Piepend en Krakend. In order to continue the fight, all the proceeds of this voku will go to the fund of Piepend en Krakend so we can continue to defend our housing and our social spaces!

AFGA (Anarcha Feminist Group Amsterdam) squatted Kanaalstraat 128 in May 2023 after been vacant since at least 2017: “our newly opened house and social space, by anarcha-feminists for anarcha-feminists. We squatted this house, abandoned for multiple years, for multiple reasons: Villa Mina is now AFGA’s own social space. We can organize there anarchist, feminist and queer events in accordance with our values. The house only houses women and gender minorities out of a depressive reason: this demographic is deeply affected by the housing crisis in an often invisible way. We are more likely to stay in dangerous and dependent situations rather than to choose to end up on the streets, where the risk of sexist and sexual violence is almost 100%. Squatting for women and gender minorities is not a new phenomena, it was also an important feminist tool in the 70s-80s in Amsterdam. We are looking forward to improve the house, the social space and of course to open new houses for this cause.”
