Boats4People Benefit

Ma. 9 January – Boats4People Benefit, 19.00, Volkseten Vegazulu, vegan food, no reservations, donations welcome. With special guests: Diyar and K-Man, saz & baz acoustic duo ( kurdistan / belgium).

Boats4People [http://boats4people.org/] zal in juni 2012 de Middellandse Zee opgaan met een vloot van solidaireitsboten. Aan boord zullen activisten en waarnemers de activiteiten van EU-agentschap Frontex in de Middellandse Zee nauwgezet volgen. In de Middellandse Zee wordt de oorlog tegen migratie pijnlijk duidelijk; duizenden mensen verdrinken ieder jaar in de slotgracht rond Fort Europa. De vloot wordt een varend protest tegen de repressieve migratiepolitiek van Europa, dat getekend wordt door een steeds verder toenemende criminalisering, een flinke dosis racisme en dat desastreuze gevolgen heeft. Boats4people vindt het tijd om tot directe actie over te gaan: voor meer informatie over deze campagne zie: [http://boats4people.org/]

On December 18th 2011, Day of Global Action Against Racism and for the Rights of Migrants, Refugees and Displaced People, Boats 4 People had been mobilising in order to raise awareness of and condemn the situation affecting thousands of migrants who risk their lives attempting to cross the Mediterranean. The mobilisation goes on.

Aseed Infonight & Benefit Voku

A SEED is currently busy organising Reclaim the Seeds. A seed exchange fair will be held during the weekend of 10-11 March in Amsterdam. On Saturday there will be a market where seeds will be sold, traded and given away. There will also be information stands from relevant organizations, as well as workshops, discussions and film screenings. On Sunday the focus will shift towards local initiatives and actions focused on increasing food production in the city. In the afternoon we will take to the streets for theater and a demonstration. Practice, discussion and protest will be united during the weekend, all under the motto of “Reclaim the Seeds”.

The goal of the weekend is to preserve diversity in food crops, and to support farmers and organizations working towards this end. Saving, using and trading one’s own seeds is in contradiction to European regulations, which hold that only seeds from crops on a specific list can be traded. The seed exchange is also a protest against the patenting of crops. Multinationals are gobbling up more and more small seed companies, also in the Netherlands.

If you want to help out contact reclaimtheseeds (a) aseed.net

Later in the year A SEED will also be organising a second agriculture-action camp in the Netherlands. For more info check the website www.aseed.net or email actiekamp (a) aseed.net
