Zo./Su. 5 Feb. 2012, 20:00, All Included Infoavond

In januari 2011 vertrok er een caravane met 250 mensen van Bamako/Mali naar Dakar/Senegal. De leus van deze actie van Afrique Europe Interact was: voor vrijheid van bewegen en een rechtvaardige ontwikkeling! De tocht langs dorpen, grenzen, de Sahel en lokale initiatieven trok onderweg veel aandacht. Tevens werd actie gevoerd bij kantoren van de Europese Unie in Bamako en Frontex in Dakar en bij de grens Gogui du Sahel waar met Europees geld mensen in de woestijn worden gedumpt. […Lees verder]

Benefiet Huurdersvereniging

Benefiet voku voor de Huurdersvereniging Oost op donderdag 26 januari 2012 vanaf 19u. Infoavond zondag 29 januari 2012 vanaf 20u.

Er staat een prijs op uw hoofd!

Afgelopen 1 oktober zijn de huurprijsregels veranderd door minister Donner.  Hierdoor kunnen verhuurders grof geld verdienen als ze huurders die nu minder dan 650 euro betalen weten weg te pesten. Dit bevestigde ook Thijs Reuten, de portefeuillehouder wonen van Oost in het Parool van afgelopen 26 november “Alarm over huurmarkt”. Uit onderzoek van het stadsdeel bleek dat 10.000 van de goedkoopste woningen in Oost zouden verdwijnen. De kans op een betaalbare particuliere huurwoning zou “praktisch nihil” worden.

Wilt u voorkomen dat u hier de dupe van wordt? Kom dan naar onze informatie-bijeenkomst:
op zondag 29 januari om 20:00

On september 13th 2011 anarchist activist and writer (against Dutch and European migration politics) Joke Kaviaar was arrested and held in custody for three days on charges of ‘incitement – with terroris intent’. Meanwhile, her house was searched thoroughly, the police were clearly out on a fishing expedition for more and any information.Nearly three months later, on december 7th, her website http://www.jokekaviaar.nl was taken offline by the Public Prosecution. Within a day the website was back online, as well as many mirrors. At the moment the threat of yet another arrest, for the repeated ‘thought crime’ because she is keeping the ‘incitive’ texts online, is still hanging over her head. […Lees verder]

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/] […Lees verder]
