Monday June 9, 2025, Voku for Lenna squat legal costs and floor repairs. Food served from 7pm, no reservation!
What is Lenna? Lenna is not just our squat dog. Lenna is also a building on Oetewalerstraat 8, liberated from supposedly “non profit” social housing organization Ymere. Almost two years passed since the last residents have been forced to relocate and this former social housing has been left to rot waiting for the new landlords privatization. Oetewalerstraat 18, also from Ymere, used to be squatted for more than 10 years.
So continuing a long tradition of reclaiming social housing around the neighborhood and Oetewalerstraat itself, Oetewalerstraat 8 has been squatted by a friendly active group almost two months ago. However, we are already engaged in legal conversations and we are succeeding in it!!! At least until we can pay our lawyer…
The ground floor is as messy as Ymere itself. We would like to share our ground floor and our back yard with the community, but apparently we have no floor in the ground floor. These fixing projects requires a bit of funds which we don’t really have. […Lees verder]
Sunday April 13, 2025, Radical Sunday School – From Housing Insecurity to Collective Power with the Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW). From 18:00 till 20:00.
Housing is not a privilege, but a civil right. And yet, more and more people are forced to live insecure, facing temporary housing contracts, poor quality housing and unaffordable rents. This growing group – the precarious tenants – is told that precarious living is normal, but we at the BPW (Bond Precaire Woonvormen) don’t agree with that.
That’s why BPW and RSS are organising the Living Struggle workshop: From stress to collective power. We explore how to stand your ground, build counter-power together, get moving and keep going – without exhausting yourself. What concrete strategies are available to help push back even if you find yourself facing a housing problem on your own? How do we stay connected and grow as a movement when housing insecurity tears down our communities?
This workshop is for anyone who is facing a precarious living situation, willing to support those who do or seeking solidarity. Prior experience in housing activism is not needed. Together, we’ll build a more accessible and powerful movement.

Thursday January 23, 2025, Benefit for Dyke Dungeon legal fees. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.
This voku is a benefit for the legal fees of the Dyke Dungeon. Dyke Dungeon was a squatted house in the Johannes Verhulststraat (Amsterdam Oud-Zuid) that was home to a group of dykes, dyke supporters and dyke lovers, as well as a little family of mice. After 3 months of building walls, tending to the garden and fulfilling their cottagecore interior design dreams, the residents had some cops come by who brought the shittiest christmas gift of them all: an eviction letter. Confused, pissed, sad and ready to put up a fight, they got to work on their defense. Unfortunately, they lost their court case the week after and eventually got evicted on January 6th, destroying all the love that got put into building up the house, leaving multiple without a home and little more than a truckload of building material and legal fees to pay.
Come eat with us at Joe’s on January 23rd to help pay our legal costs and reminisce the happy days we spent in our dungeon 🏚 […Lees verder]
Monday January 6, 2025, Benefit VoKu for Takland Vrijstraat. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.
Takland is a squatted house and social center that’s been running since Kingsday 2023, when we declared ourselves independent from the Dutch state. For the past months we’ve been hosting a weekly jazz bar with different musicians opening and a jam session after. Running the space, getting all the equipment and also maintaining the house costs a lot of money and energy. So come by for some great food and to support another social center so that we can also host benefits again.
