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]

Reflection Tables on People’s Kitchens and Political Struggle https://squ.at/r/7gxy

A big part of what we’ve been doing for the past years, is hosting the anti-food waste dinner on Sunday evening. For us, providing people with a meal made from trash for free or donation is a political statement to address the problem of food waste and the importance of collective cooking and eating. We are not the only ones doing this, there are a lot of VoKus around in the Netherlands who organise meals or events out of the same political principles. We would therefore like to host reflection tables in the afternoon during Barriversary, to share experiences and start a reflection about the importance of food and collective cooking/eating.
