Grasugga solidarity kitchen: Three Dishes inspired on the horrors of Dutch migration policies

Thursday November 31, 2024, Grasugga solidarity kitchen: Three Dishes inspired on the horrors of Dutch migration policies. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Benefit dinner for two refugee families* We are a new squat in Utrecht since October 5th, st. Gråsugga (Woodlouse), a little chaotic international collective of radical mischief enthusiasts. This VoKu is dedicated to two refugee families (from Burkina Faso and Somalia). We want to aid covering the health expenses after a traffic accident of one of the families. The other family is currently facing financial insecurity as immigration procedures in the Netherlands are ridiculously slow and not very helpful (fuck IND). The Netherlands is pushing increasingly hostile immigration policies systematically disabling people without documents from access to housing, education, healthcare, or labour rights. This is deliberate exploitation forcing people into situations in which they have to accept jobs far below minimum wage without (legal) security or protection. We are collectively responsible for responding to this with radical action and mutual aid alike. We hope to support these families by cooking a delicious dumpsterdived vegan dinner!! It will be halloween themed (as if the Dutch bureaucracy machine wasn’t enough of a scare), come by! […Lees verder]

Voku Benefit to help A.casă in Cluj-Napoca

Thursday October 17, 2024, Voku Benefit to help A.casă in Cluj-Napoca by ZZW Rafelrand and friends. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

This is Call-out for support. A.casă social center in Cluj-Napoca (in so called Romania), the place where multiple informal political radical groups organise, needs your help. Since the new location opened in 2020, lots of energy and money were put into making the space safer, comfortable and better fitting the needs of the people using it. Electricity, gas and water installation were replaced and the roof was fixed, besides many other thing.
Now we just realised we need to reinforce the foundation of one 10 meters long wall of the house, otherwise we risk that the wall will continue to crack and maybe even collapse in time.
We need to do all the necessary work and fix this in November. We are reaching out to groups, friends and initiatives abroad which could organise small solievents for A.casă, so that we can raise the amount needed.
If you would like to help with that, please get in touch by mail.

Solidarity is our weapon!
You are always welcome in A.casă

Solidarity VoKu-New Energy for Rojava

Thursday October 10, 2024, Solidarity VoKu-New Energy for Rojava. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Solidarity VoKu-New Energy for Rojava. Fundraiser for solar panels in Rojava! For a democratic and ecological alternative in the Middle East. https://www.solardarity-rojava.org/

Energy crisis in Rojava
The Rojava Autonomous Region in northern and eastern Syria has been in existence for 12 years and is a glimmer of hope for democratic reconstruction in Syria. Since its foundation, Rojava has had to defend itself against numerous threats. In addition to the clashes with the Assad regime, the main threats have been the wars with Turkey and the so-called Islamic State.
Now, however, the autonomy project is facing existential challenges. The energy supply is threatening to collapse. Turkish air strikes have largely destroyed the power stations and substations in the region. Electricity is in short supply and is mostly generated by dirty diesel generators. The civilian population suffers from a lack of electricity and water on a daily basis, but agriculture – in a region already hardest hit by climate change – is also severely affected.

‍Clean energy as a solution
But we can do something. With clean energy from the sun in Syria. The installation of decentralised solar panels should help to supply municipal facilities, hospitals, schools and women’s shelters with electricity.
We are therefore raising one million euros for solar panels to supply public facilities in northern and eastern Syria with sustainable electricity. In this way, we can make a difference and contribute to the further development of a democratic, gender-equitable and ecological alternative in the Middle East.
Let’s make a difference together: let’s send new energy to Rojava!
