Radar benefit voku

By: börek - January 10th, 2024  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Thursday 18 January 2024, Radar benefit voku. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Berlin, Amsterdam and many more places would look different if there wasn’t Radar to keep you posted, where to find comrades you haven’t met yet. Because you don’t want an algorithm to decide for you what to read, because you care about your privacy, because the state won’t stop collecting data, because social centers, squats want to emancipate from capitalist surveillance, because activists don’t want to be the product from a giant corporation, Radar is a tool, a database which deserves your financial support. Servers, infrastructure means money. Your donations are welcome. […Lees verder]

Screw the Smalltalk VOKU for No Border Kitchen Lesvos

By: börek - January 3rd, 2024  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Monday 8 January 2024, Screw the Smalltalk VOKU for No Border Kitchen Lesvos. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Our friends at No Border Kitchen Lesvos need our support! With cold weather, ever-continuing pushbacks and little support, we need to stand in solidarity more than ever.

“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 cannot 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. We also monitor and publish information about the ever-changing situation on Lesvos, to put the situation back into focus and to be able to maintain a flexible and responsive organisational structure.”

Alongside serving food, we will also play a game called screw the smalltalk, in which we doodle together. Bring a pen and paper if you want to participate!

Khunth Fundraiser

By: börek - December 12th, 2023  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Monday 18 december 2023, Khunth Fundraiser. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Khunth is a collective that’s been very recently founded, which is made by and for queer arabs. Our mission is to provide a safe space for queer arabs, and it’s important to mention that our space also extends to the queer bipoc refugee/immigrant communities, and the way we will provide this space is through organizing parties, gatherings, meet-ups and more events where we can get to know each other, connect with one another and build a community together, which is now more crucial than ever given the recent political events that have been terribly bleak to say the least. For this fundraiser, we are collecting money in order to be able to cover the price of train tickets for 15 to 25 queer asylum seekers, who live in camps, so they can come and join our upcoming event that will be taking place on the 13th of January at Vrankrijk. We highly prioritize queer asylum seekers and queer refugees and our community cannot exist without them, and that’s why they’ll also be able to join our events without any entrance fees, and at this upcoming event there will be dinner served which will be offered to them for free! Since we’re a new collective, we do not have enough funds to cover all those costs on our own, especially the train tickets, which is why we’re setting-up this fundraiser. Thank you for taking the time to read this and we hope we’ll get to see you there!

Benefit VoKu for the Bushulo Mother and Child Speciality Center in Hawassa, Ethiopia

By: börek - December 12th, 2023  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Thursday 14 december 2023, Benefit VoKu for the Bushulo Mother and Child Speciality Center in Hawassa, Ethiopia. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

We are a crew from former (and present) members of ‘Foodbank Maastricht’, where food is regularly rescued from being thrown away, given away, and transformed into three-course meals, saving hundreds of kilos of food weekly, and feeding hundreds in Maastricht.
On this Thursday, we are going to cook a wonderful three-course meal from rescued ingredients in Joe’s Garage, raising money for the healthcare of mothers and children in the south of Ethiopia.
As part of the safe motherhood program, the „Bushulo Mother and Child Speciality Center“ in Hawassa supports women during and after pregnancy. Given that the mortality rate in young mothers as well as new-borns is still extremely high in Ethiopia, structures like this one are urgently needed. There, women are receiving information about hygiene and nutrition during pregnancy, as well as information on risks while giving birth. […Lees verder]

Monday 11 December 2023, Benefit voku for squatters legal defence fund. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Come and eat some tasty vegan food and donate to the squatters legal defence fund. We tried to beat Blackstone in court, sadly we lost because they argued they are so rich they can pay whatever the renovation will cost. Now we have to pay, please help us so we fill up the fund and squatters ain’t gotta be scared of the law ever because the solidarity is STRONG.

On October 21st, during the ADEV demo, Prinsengracht 804 and 806 were revealed as squatted. Blackstone took the squatters to court. Squatters lost the houses on November 10th. https://en.squat.net/2023/10/22/amsterdam-two-houses-owned-by-blackstone-squatted-during-the-adev-demo/ […Lees verder]

This evening, ORCA (Organised students for Radical Climate Action) and SJP (Students for Justice in Palestine) come together in a shared effort to cook a cheap, vegan dinner for you.
ORCA is a student group, primarily made up by UvA (Universiteit van Amsterdam) students that advocates for a vision of true climate justice that addresses the root causes of the crises. We share an intersectional, anti-capitalist, antifascist worldview and oppose any kinds of oppression and discrimination. This includes an abolitionist approach to borders, police and (neo)colonialism. We believe in bottom-up revolutionary organising and a new world based on mutual radical care, solidarity, and a regenerative culture. Our goals include the decarbonisation, democratisation, and decolonisation of the Dutch higher education system, and we reject the neoliberalisation of our society, including our educational spaces. Want to find out more? Come to the Voku & have a chat.
Students for Justice in Palestine Amsterdam is a democratic collective of Amsterdam students standing in solidarity with Palestine and the Palestinian struggle for liberation. We are a fully independent and autonomous group. Our activism is firmly rooted in anti-colonial, anti-racist, anti-capitalist and feminist principles.
