Horeca United fundraiser 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

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.”

Samidoun benefit voku

Monday 18 september 2023, Samidoun benefit voku. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Laatste bericht van Samidoun op hun website (17 augustus 2023) : Palestijnse overwinning in Nederlandse rechtbank: from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!

Op dinsdag 15 augustus heeft het gerechtshof in Nederland bevestigt dat de slogan “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” valt onder de vrijheid van meningsuiting en niet strafbaar is. De uitspraak van de rechtbank betekent een overwinning voor de Palestijnse beweging in het algemeen, en in Nederland specifiek. Uitingen voor Palestijnse bevrijding kunnen niet zomaar bestempeld worden als antisemitisme.

De aanklacht werd in juni 2021 ingediend door een zionistische activist tegen Samidoun Nederland-lid Thomas Hofland. Zijn gebruik van de slogan “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” in een speech die hij gaf tijdens de jaarlijkse Nakba-demonstratie een maand eerder, zou zogenaamd antisemitisch zijn. Het is een valse beschuldiging die met regelmaat door zionistische organisaties, media en politici wordt gebruikt tegen Palestina activisten internationaal.

Zowel de officier van justitie als de advocaat-generaal hadden de aanklacht binnen een jaar ongegrond verklaard. “Feit niet strafbaar,” concludeerden zij. Echter, de behandeling van de zaak duurde in totaal ruim twee jaar, omdat de klager telkens in beroep ging. Met deze laatste uitspraak van het hof is bevestigd dat het rechtvaardig is om op te roepen voor de bevrijding van Palestina van de rivier tot aan de zee.

Willem Jebbink, Hofland’s advocaat, zei het volgende over de uitspraak:

“Het gerechtshof is erg kort van stof geweest. Maar de uitspraak is glashelder: de frase ‘from the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free’ is niet antisemitisch. Ook niet haatzaaiend, opruiend of bedreigend. Daarmee heeft het hof de vrijheid van meningsuiting erkend. Dat is juist in het Palestina-Israëldebat van belang. Misschien wel meer dan ooit. Personen die zich tegen de aanhoudende mensenrechtenschendingen door Israël uitspreken worden vaak op lichtzinnige gronden antisemitisch genoemd. Een doorzichtige redeneertruc die slechts de functie heeft om de aandacht van de inhoud van het debat af te leiden, van wat in de bezette gebieden gebeurt.

Het is elementair dat wij in onze samenleving zonder gevaar voor criminalisering scherpe kritiek op het beleid van Israël kunnen hebben. Dat de Palestijnen als vrije en gelijkwaardige burgers in hun thuisland moeten kunnen wonen. In de geografische en historische eenheid tussen – inderdaad – de zee en de Jordaan, vrij van onderdrukking door Israël of enig Arabisch regiem of wie dan ook.”

Als Samidoun Palestijnse Gevangenen Solidariteitsnetwerk zijn we blij met het ongegrond verklaren van de aanklacht tegen ons lid. Het is een overwinning voor alle Palestijnen en Palestina activiste. En et is het resultaat van decennialang actievoeren voor de onvervreemdbare rechten van het Palestijnse volk, om Palestina te bevrijden en ernaar terug te keren.

Tegelijkertijd moeten we doorgaan met het verdedigen van activisten voor Palestina internationaal. In het Verenigd Koninkrijk zitten activisten van Palestine Action gevangen. In Frankrijk loopt nog steeds een zaak om Collectif Palestine Vaincra, een lidorganisatie van Samidoun, te verbieden. In Duitsland roepen zionistische politici en media op om Samidoun te verbieden. En in Nederland werden onlangs twee activisten gearresteerd vanwege hun financiële steun aan Palestijnen in vluchtelingenkampen.

Vrijheid voor alle Palestijnse gevangenen!
Vrijheid voor Palestina van de rivier tot aan de zee!

Vegan Dinner and DIY Market in solidarity with No Border Kitchen, Lesvos.

Monday 11 september 2023, Vegan Dinner and DIY Market in solidarity with No Border Kitchen, Lesvos. Market stands open at 17:00. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

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 are unable to 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.

If you want to participate in the DIY Market with your own stuff please send us and email beforehand at ilves76 [at] proton [dot] me . You can add your desired percentage in your crafts to support the No Border Kitchen!

Thursday 7 september 2023, Voku Benefit for legal support group and squat in Briancon . Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Come eat our delicious vegan food 🙂 The money of the voku will go to the “Groupe Sans Nom”, a collective active in Briancon who organizes collective and individual legal support at the French Italian border to make sure people on the move know their rights. They also help with connecting people crossing the border with solidarity networks across the country and arranging a safe travel. They need money at the moment to continue organizing this support. Another part of the money will go to Le Pado, a squat that opened in Briancon on the 7th of August to host people and that is currently struggling to make the building livable due to the repression of the municipality.
