We are a cooking group that cooks for supporting squatters resistance. This year a lot of old and new squats got evicted in the city of Amsterdam.

We want to help squatters by cooking for the legal support. We are a group of people in the city cooking vegan food , trying to uphold a zero waste policy.

Info Night on the New Squatting Law

By: börek - September 1st, 2019  Filed under: Infoavond, Volkseten/Voku

Wet of Geen Wet
Kranken gaat door!
Oppose the Proposal – Info Night on the New Squatting Amendment

Come to Joe’s Garage on 23rd September to eat a vegan meal and learn about the new squatting law and how it will affect squatting in Amsterdam and the Netherlands.

As you might have heard, some bastards politicians are scheming to change the squatting law, allowing them to pursue criminal eviction within 3 days by changing the legal procedures. This new law is called the Wet Handhaving Kraakverbod.

This is yet another attempt to protect the interests of rich and corrupt property owners at the expense of those fighting for fair housing rights for all. The law further criminalises squatters and making it more difficult for them to defend themselves in a court of law.

In 2010, the state tried to completely eradicate squatting by making it illegal. Now, a decade later, they still have to come up with pathetic ways to make our lives more difficult, because we are still here!
We did not let them win back then, we will show them we still won’t give up now!
Wet of geen wet..

Stay informed! Follow updates on this law proposal (and get united to resist it):

JaKra! #1

By: börek - June 3rd, 2019  Filed under: Nieuws

[english]

Joe’s Garage is nog één van de weinige gekraakte social-politieke centra in Amsterdam, samen met Bajesdorp, nabij het Amstelstation, het ADM in het Westelijk Havengebied (ontruimd op 7 januari 2018) en de Monbeile Eenheid in Amsterdam Noord (verlaten op 1 februari 2019). Al ruim 13 jaar is Joe’s Garage acteif in de Transvaalbuurt, in Amsterdam Oost. In februari 2001 werden de bovenetage van Pretoriusstraat 28 gekraakt. In Juni 2005 was de begane grond, een voormalige tabakszaak, open als een sociaal centrum – Joe’s Garage was geboren! In die tijd waren waren er trouwens meerdere panden in de straat (en aan het tussenliggende Steve Bikoplein) gekraakt. In September 2005 werd Pretoriusstraat 43 gekraakt, aan de overkant van Joe’s. Drie jaar later, in october 2008, word Pretoriusstraat 28 ontruimd. Op precies dezelfde dag heropende Joe’s Garage op de begane grond van Pretoriusstraat 43. de Juridische situatie rondom Pretoriusstraat 43 is no altijd hetzelfde zoals beschreven in het Witboek Kraken uit 2005 [1].

Sinds 2005 biedt Joe’s Garage 6 dagen per week ruimte aan meerdere vrijwilligersinitiatieven, waaronder een weggeefwinkel, Volkseten Vegazulu (voku), een buurtbios en een kraakspreekuur (KSU Oost). Daarnaast maken verschillende groepen gebruik van de ruimte voor bijvoorbeeld vergadering of infoavonden. Om Joe’s Garage letterlijk en figuurlijk open te kunnen houden is iedereen van harte welkom om me te helpen – met het organiseren van een activiteit bijvoorbeeld, maar ook met koken of afwassen. Een belangrijk uitgangspunt is dat iedereen die er binnenstapt sichzelf ook als delnemer beschouwd; dat we allemaal verantwoordelijkheid nemen en bijdragen aan het creëren van een inclusieve, zelfwerkzame omgeving.

Kraken gaat natuurlijk gewoon door! Hieronder een overzicht van recente kraakacties: […Lees verder]

Monday April 1st 2019, Benefit for the Jaarboek Kraken 2018, Volkseten Vegazulu, 7pm, no reservation

Soon to be printed, soon in your hands, the Jaarboek Kraken 2018 is aiming to present squatting in the Netherlands. To be published both in English and Dutch, this jaarboek will be an inspiring source of information reporting about the many squat groups, projects who were active even for short. Squats are getting evicted, new ones are opening. Squatters are occupying all sort of buildings, houses, industrial waste land everywhere, not only in big cities. Squats get transformed into public, working and living spaces. Squatters have worked on infrastructures to communicate internally and towards the public. A meeting place, a squatting assistance, a people’s kitchen, a concert space, an infoshop, a cinema, squats are creating opportunities to socialize, to gather and discuss the future.
The Jaarboek Kraken 2018 needs your financial support. The more money collected, the more impact this publication will have. KRAKEN GAAT DOOR!
