Two years ago NATO (-countries) declared war against the Gaddafi regime and bombed the country. Hundreds of thousands of people fled Libya, among them many migrant workers and refugees from Sub-Saharan Africa. More than 20.000 were placed in the UNHCR Choucha camp just over the Tunesian border. Most refugees left Tunisia. The majority returned to their countries of origin, not all of them voluntarily. Some returned to Libya, where the rights of migrants are still being violated. Others tried to reach Europe by boat, risking their lives. About 2600 people were accepted by European countries, the US and Australia (“resettlement program”). […Lees verder]

Friday April 12th 2013: Contra Info solidarity event with anarchist comrades in Greek prisons at Joe’s Garage, 7pm.

In the context of an everyday struggle against the existent, and aiming at the diffusion of factual solidarity with anarchist prisoners in the Greek dungeons, members of Contra Info [http://contrainfo.espiv.net/] translation counter-information network will carry out a series of events in various European cities, spreading information on cases of imprisoned comrades.

We want to make these gatherings an opportunity to strengthen the antagonist infrastructure of counter-information, to extend and multiply the solidarity gestures with our brothers and sisters behind bars, and to promote direct action and subversive praxis.

On Friday, April 12th, 2013, we meet at Joe’s Garage in Amsterdam. There will be a collective vegan kitchen at 7pm and at around 8pm we’ll start the talking. We are looking forward to your presence and invite you to share your ideas so as to find a common perspective towards the destruction of all prisons and the system that maintains them.

Stay tuned for upcoming events in other European cities.
SOLIDARITY WITH ANARCHIST PRISONERS ALL AROUND THE WORLD!

Roomtuintje Oostbos benefit

By: börek - February 17th, 2013  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Mo./Ma. March 25th 2013: Volkseten Vegazulu, Roomtuintje Oostbos benefit, 19:00 pm.

The Roomtuintje Oostbos garden gang will be dropping their shovels and picking up the serving spoons at Joe’s Garage. You can expect three courses of tasty vegan treats (mostly organic (bio) sourced) as always.
Roomtuintje Oostbos is a D.I.Y. Garden project which began in July 2012 in the Dapperbuurt of Amsterdam Oost, on land where formerly stood typical ‘Old Amsterdam’ social houses. The owner housing corporation De Key demolished the block with the intention of building modern apartments in 2009. Since that time it remained unused. The Roomtuintje Oostbos project is a temporary re-designation of land with the aim of allowing people the opportunity to make their own urban garden.
Donations will be going towards the ongoing Roomtuintje Oostbos project.
