Benefit voku for Help 4 Dunkerque (H4D)

By: börek - November 4th, 2024  Filed under: Benefiet, Volkseten/Voku

Thursday November 7, 2024, Benefit voku for Help4Dunkirk (H4D). Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Help 4 Dunkerque (H4D) is an autonomous collective of international activists who work with people on the move from France to the UK during the winter months. First organized in 2020, the group goes from December to March in order to provide essentials during a cold winter where hundreds of folks wait to cross the dangerous channel with the slim hopes of a better life by way of legalizing papers.
Each day, a group of 15 to 20 people work together to bring these necessities to the ‘Jungle’ – a Kurdish term meaning woods — where people on the move live in a number of tents. H4D offers tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and music (because it universally warms hearts and unites people). We also collect and distribute wood for heating and cooking. We collaborate with other organizations on a daily basis to ensure there is food; we also distribute clothes and blankets, provide charging stations for phones and power banks, and we explain important information about the dangers of crossing the channel. Furthermore, twice per week we run a shower truck to provide 80-100 showers and a mini-barber shop. We also provide activities for children and board games for the adults.

The winters are extremely harsh, and we attempt to provide some humanity and minor ‘comfort’ (if such a thing can be said in this situation) to those who are constantly facing a multitude of violences from Europe. This year we are very low on funds as an organization (costs about $2000 to run the orga for one month), and are hoping you can help donate. You can do so at Joe’s Garage this Thursday (7-11-2024) and also on this website. There will be a short info-talk after the dinner about the organization if you are interested to hear more. Thank you for your help!

Radical Sunday School: Open Session: What is Radical Sunday School?

By: börek - November 2nd, 2024  Filed under: Workshop

Sunday November 3rd, 2024, Radical Sunday School: Open Session: What is Radical Sunday School? From 18:00 till 20:00.In this week’s session of Radical Sunday School, we’ll be opening up the conversation to people who’ve never been to RSS before! (And of course, we’d love to see familiar faces as well 🙂 ) In the first of what we hope to be a series of open session, we’d like to include everyone in the kinds of discussions we’ve been having within our collective. For example:

– What exactly is the difference between a “brave” and a “safer” space? What does that mean in a learning environment?
– How do we attract new people to our sessions?
– What exactly are our perspectives on mainstream education and academia?

We’d love anyone who’s ever been curious about what radical education can look like to stop by for a more laid-back, joyful reflection on these kinds of ideas, and whatever else you want to know!

Raising Radicals – Zine making

By: börek - November 2nd, 2024  Filed under: Meeting

Sunday November 3, 2024, Raising Radicals – Zine making. From 14:00 to 16:00.
Gathering for activist kids and parents/care takers. This week we try to make a zine together! There will be paper and craft materials, bring bites if you like! Raising Radicals, monthly on a Sunday afternoon in Joe’s Garage Amsterdam-Oost! You are all very welcome in with kids!

Idee is een maandelijks ouder-kind-cafe maar dan een beetje anders. Misschien komt er af en toe een specifiek thema aan bod zoals; welke acties zijn veilig met kinderen en welke niet? Of misschien is er soms een leuke activiteit voor kids, of misschien is het gewoon al leuk genoeg om te kletsen met politieke activistische ouders en kunnen kids lekker met elkaar spelen, klagen over hun hippy-ouders whatever. Alle input en ideeen zijn super welkom, idealiter gaat het zichzelf een beetje organiseren en ben ik alleen de toevallige starter van het geheel….. Stuur graag door naar alle ouders die zich thuis voelen op een plek als Joe’s Garage zodat de eerste keer zo leuk wordt dat we dit vaker willen doen! ♥️&✊🏼✊🏽✊🏿&💩

Idea is a monthly parent-child cafe, but a little different. Perhaps a specific theme is discussed occasionally, such as; which actions are safe with children and which are not? Or maybe there is a fun activity for kids, or maybe it’s just fun enough to chat with political activist parents and kids can play with each other, complain about their hippy parents, whatever. All input and ideas are super welcome, ideally it will organize itself a bit and I am just the coincidental starter of the whole….. Please forward to all parents who feel at home in a place like Joe’s Garage so that the first time It’s going to be so much fun that we want to do this more often!

Palestine Cinema Days: Resistance, Why? (Christian Ghazi, 1971) and Naila and the Uprising (Julia Bacha, 2017)

By: börek - November 1st, 2024  Filed under: Filmavond

Saturday, November 2nd, 2024, Palestine Cinema Days: Resistance, Why? (Christian Ghazi, 1971) and Naila and the Uprising (Julia Bacha, 2017). Doors open at 19:30, free entrance.

Join us for a screening of Palestine Cinema Days in Amsterdam. On the somber anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, observed on November 2nd, and in an effort to amplify Palestinian voices, we are screening Resistance, Why? (Christian Ghazi, 1971) and Naila and the Uprising (Julia Bacha, 2017) at 19:30 p.m. at Joe’s Garage. The screening is free of charge.

Resistance, Why? (56 mins): In 1970, with the initiative of Soraya Antonius (Fifth of June Society), Christian Ghazi and Noureddine Chatti went to meet Arab political figures, and in particular Palestinians living in Lebanon. Ghassan Kanafani, Sadiq Jalal El-Azm, Nabil Shaath, and others offer their visions of the Palestinian revolution, anchoring it in its history since the early 20th century.

Naila and the Uprising (76 minutes): Chronicling the remarkable journey of Naila Ayesh and a fierce community of women at the frontlines, whose stories weave through the most vibrant, nonviolent mobilization in Palestinian history – the First Intifada in the late 1980s.

19:30 Doors open
20:00 Introduction and Resistance, Why?
21:30 Naila and the Uprising
