Friends in Need Fund benefit

By: börek - March 1st, 2014  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Thursday March 20th 2014, Friends in Need Fund benefit, Volkseten Vegazulu, 7pm.

Friendship solidarity in practise: a low profile fund to support friends in need. Need because they have to pay a lot of money for their Dutch citizenship. Need because they are in a shitty situation and medical costs are rising. Need because they’ve had a really tough time and you want to give them a small gesture of support. There is so many ways our friends can be in need..! This is still being set up and not yet in function – but the general idea is that friends can apply for a friend in need – the Friends in Need Fund will contribute a share to collections that these friends are organizing. For useful things and urgent situations, of course. […Lees verder]

By: pokkeherrie - March 1st, 2014  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Monday March 10th, 7pm Vegan 3-course benefit dinner and info night on latest developments Pieter Nieuw landstraat-project.

Soweto, together with an enthusiastic group of people, is realising a new political social center, work space and collective housing on the Pieter Nieuwlandstraat in the Dapperbuurt, Amsterdam. Be part of this DIY subsidy free project and help launch this inspiring new housing initiative.  We need to raise money to get this project off the ground- offering an alternative to mortgages,  long waiting lists, and unaffordable rents. Instead we will be sharing skills, ideas, knowledge, labour and wealth. In times when many social initiatives are being shut down, or in danger, this project is needed now more than ever.  Come and eat your heart out. Donations are more than welcome. This is also an opportunity to become soweto member at the event, or purchase one of the much asked for bond certificates à 50 Euro on the spot. For more info see: www.soweto.nl […Lees verder]

Monday March 3rd 2014: Theaterstraat Benefiet, Volkseten Vegazulu, 7pm.

Since the location of Theaterstraat was burned in a fire, they can use all the support they can get. So come, have a nice meal and support Theaterstraat. During the blaze at “De Heining”, in the west-harbor area of Amsterdam, on December 2nd, the warehouse of TheaterStraat burned down to the ground. TheaterStraat is well-known for their support during demonstrations and events with their iconic yellow-red stage truck, but also provides transportation with their coaches, logistical support and loads more. The trucks and coaches are saved, but all the rest is gone (sound equipment, stage lighting, mixing desks, the tents, containers, tools, the ware-house, the office and so on and so forth…) […Lees verder]

We have large comfortable spaces to express many artistic forms and skills. Starting slowly, as one of the largest rooms has suffered 3 years of water damage and neglect we want to build up to opening the space to dance classes, from pole fitness to salsa and break dancing. Language classes including Spanish, English and Dutch so everyone can improve their basics. Kick boxing workshops also have started and the give away shop will be open 2 days a week. Circus training and a place to practise for those who need it and want to meet others who do the same. Workshops will be run by people outside of the Swamp and we want to include the neighbourhood as much as possible, for them to introduce their own classes or ideas and take part. […Lees verder]

Calais Migrant Solidarity benefit, Call for international solidarity and action, info night about the situation in Calais

By: börek - February 1st, 2014  Filed under: Benefiet, Infoavond, Volkseten/Voku

Monday February 10th 2014, Calais Migrant Solidarity benefit, Call for international solidarity and action, info night about the situation in Calais, Volkseten Vegazulu, 7pm.

In Calais, hundreds of migrants are facing a collective punishment, a daily harassment and humiliation from the French state. They are regularly counted, photographed, id checked or taken away to the foreign police and detention centres. Riot and border police are constantly patrolling a city in decay. One building on ten would be empty. The racist Calais mayor has been inciting fear amongst the local population and launched an appeal asking residents to inform on migrant shelters and activists. Cops evicted almost every single squatted building. Tensions run high when refugees have nowhere to sleep except in park bushes, under bridges or in overcrowded squats that are constantly under threat. Migrants are living off one meal a day and are carrying everything they own, while spending days and nights at the hands of cops who chase them around the city and mafia who exploit and steal everything they have.
