Woonstrijdfilmmiddag

Woensdag 20 juli 2022, filmmiddag over woonstrijd in Oost, vanaf 16:00 tot 18:00.

[english] [français]

We gaan aan de hand van beeldmateriaal van bewonersacties van de kraakgroep Oost en de Huurdersvereniging Oost in gesprek over vele jaren van verzet tegen deze nog altijd voortdurende aanval op goedkoop wonen.

Op het programma staat ook een nieuwe film over Frans Ondunk, voorzitter van de Huurdersvereniging Oost, maar ook bekend als de sheriff van Oost, die op dagelijkse basis het vuur aan de schenen legde van de huisbazen.

In de geschiedenis van Amsterdam Oost hebben de kraakbeweging en de lokale huurdersvereniging met de regelmaat van de klok dezelfde boodschap uitgedragen. De vastgoedeigenaren van wie de panden werden gekraakt waren vaak dezelfde als die van de panden waarin huurders werden geterroriseerd.

Speculanten gebruiken nog altijd leegstand en verkrotting om huurders uit betaalbare woningen te jagen en zo veel mogelijk winst te persen uit onze wijken. De politiek heeft de wooncrisis doelbewust aangewakkerd. Het gentrificatiebeleid, de veryupping, het mengen van wijken was vijandig tegen de eigen bewoners. De wooncrisis is onder de aandacht van de politiek, maar ze zijn niet bereid te doen wat nodig is om het op te lossen.

Wat nodig is is organisatie van onderop, bewoners die zich uitspreken en samen zich organiseren voor hun buurten. De Huurdersvereniging Oost en de kraakgroep Oost zijn altijd dat soort organisaties geweest. Hoe ziet de toekomst eruit? […Lees verder]

Kaixo Korrika lagunak!

Badakizuenez, Korrika Euskal Herri osoan zehar egiten den euskararen aldeko ekimen erraldoia da. Euskararen aldeko kontzientzia suspertzea eta euskaltegien eguneroko lana indartzeko dirua biltzea ditu helburu. 2019ko apirilaren 4an hasita, 11 egunez eta gelditu gabe, Korrikak Euskal Herria zeharkatuko du 21. aldiz. http://www.korrika.eus/en/
Aurten, lehenego aldiz, Amsterdamera ere iritsiko da Korrika! Apirilaren 7an igandean 13etan elkartu eta Herbeheretako hiriburuko kaleak zeharkatuko ditugu euskararen alde. Dam-en hasiko da lasterketa eta Oosterpark-eraino iritsiko gera. 4 kilometro besterik ez dira eta denak batera jutearren erritmoa oso lasaia izango da, beraz ez izan beldurrik eta animatu zaitezte!
Ondoren, 15ak aldera, Joe´s Garagera hurbilduko gera ekitaldiarekin jarraitzeko. Bertan Holandan bizi izan ditugun bizipenak eta esperientziak partekatu, lehiaketatxoren bat egin (irrintzi lehiaketa, mus txapelketa etab.) eta euskal kantak dantzatu eta abestuko ditugu.
Bi aste besterik ez dira falta! Bazatoz?

Sunday April 7th 2019, Korrika Amsterdam, from 15:00 till 19:00.

Hi Korrika friends! KORRIKA is an important event hold in the Basque Country that aims to boost awareness of the Basque language and raise funds to support “Euskaltegi´s” (schools where Euskera is taught). It is a non-stop run that crosses the whole Basque Country in 11 days. http://www.korrika.eus/en/
And this year Korrika will come to Amsterdam for the first time! We will meet and run through the streets of the capital of the Netherlands, as our friends will do in the Basque Country. The run will take place on Sunday, 7th of April and it will start at 13:00 in Dam Square. It will not be more than 4km long and the pace will be really slow so that we can go all as a group. Therefore, you don’t need to be super athletic to join!
As we said, we will start in Dam and end up in Oosterpark… but this is not finished! After the run, we will meet at Joe´s Garage (https://joesgarage.nl/), where we will continue the community reunion, sharing our basque experiences in the Netherlands, playing a PubQuiz and hopefully singing Basque songs and dances all together!
Come and join us, we hope to see you there! contact: korrikaamsterdam [at] gmail [dot] com

Kritische Studenten Avond / Critical Students Evening

Wednesday December 11th 2013, Kritische Studenten Avond / Critical Students Evening, 8pm

Did you expect a more critical environment in your university? Are you disappointed with the lack of political engagement you’ve found there? Not feeling represented by the lobbyist student council groups? Tired of how education and knowledge are primarily in service of economic interests rather than societal? Are you against an educational system that mostly just reproduces class differences and do you want to fight for free and democratically organized education? Then come and join us in making plans on how to reclaim the university. Every second and fourth Wednesday of the month we have a open meeting where you can get to know like-minded individuals.
