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]

Radical Sunday School: Fuck this Job! Taking Power Back at Work

Sunday October 20, 2024, Radical Sunday School: Fuck this Job! Taking Power Back at Work. From 18:00 till 20:00.What would you do if your boss started stealing your pay? What if you were getting pressured to work longer than you’re getting paid for? Would you complain? Would you quit? Under capitalism, we all have to work, and in the workplace, bosses and managers get to act like little kings. We don’t get a vote in the places we live 8 (or often more) hours a day. Alone, we have no power to stop this. But what if we could work together to fight back?

In this week’s session of Radical Sunday School, we’ll be sharing horror stories about work and complaining about our bosses, but we’ll also be talking with people who have taken the fight to their bosses. We’ll hear from veterans of the war against capitalism, and find out what the front lines look like: collective actions, walk-outs, escalation tactics, and large scale strikes!

Whether you work at a university, a factory, a restaurant, or an office building, we can all learn skills together to help us fight labor exploitation and start to take control of our own lives. Let’s get together to make sure that Mondays don’t have to be the worst day of the week anymore!

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
