Benefit for Dyke Dungeon legal fees

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]

Benefit Voku for Takland Vrijstraat

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.

Book presentation: “Squats & Pirates, chronicles of occupations in Barcelona and elsewhere”

Sunday November 24, 2024, Book presentation: “Squats & Pirates, chronicles of occupations in Barcelona and elsewhere”. Doors open from 8 p.m., with food & cakes.

We met with Trash, the author of the book published by Seitan con Bravas. The Squats & Pirates book brings together some forty articles and interviews recounting illegal occupations of empty buildings. From Barcelona to London, from the Canary Islands to Dublin, from Brest to Saint-Etienne via Lyon, Marseille or Amsterdam, we read anecdotes, advice, memories and other comments from people who have all been, for two weeks or for life, “occupants without rights or titles”. A great reminder that other ways of living exist, and that in a country like France, where millions of vacant homes are listed every year, they are more legitimate than ever. “All these squat adventures, as dramatic, individualistic and hardcore as they may have been, are above all strong human stories; absurd, intense and violent at times, but often beautiful. As long as there are developers, there will be squatters and as long as there are squatters there will be hope. Big up to all those who don’t give up.”

Come and eat some tasty vegan food and donate to the squatters legal defence fund. We tried to beat Blackstone in court, sadly we lost because they argued they are so rich they can pay whatever the renovation will cost. Now we have to pay, please help us so we fill up the fund and squatters ain’t gotta be scared of the law ever because the solidarity is STRONG.

On October 21st, during the ADEV demo, Prinsengracht 804 and 806 were revealed as squatted. Blackstone took the squatters to court. Squatters lost the houses on November 10th. https://en.squat.net/2023/10/22/amsterdam-two-houses-owned-by-blackstone-squatted-during-the-adev-demo/ […Lees verder]

We are cooking up a feast in order to raise money to cover our legal costs! A building in the Jordaan, owned by a housing corporation, was squatted at the start of September.
