Call for International Week of Solidarity With Anarchist Prisoners 2021 // 23 – 30 August

There is a fundamental lie in the capitalist society. A promise that never comes true. The promise of freedom – you just have to work hard. Every time we stumble upon the crisis of capitalism we are reminded about that. More than one year of Covid-19 lies behind us. Some say, that Covid-19 is a health crisis. But it is not! Covid-19 is another crisis caused by capitalism. Provoked by the urge of more wealth and growth. Which contaminate fertile ground through industrial agriculture, steels habitat for humans and wild animals by extraction politics that turned thriving forests into deserts. It is the madness of capitalism that pushes humankind to ever new frontiers where more viruses are waiting for us.

Solidinner – vegan 3 course menu against repression on 23.07.2021 at AZ Conni, Dresden

Being in solidarity has never been so easy and sooo delicious. 
We invite you to the Prisoner-Solidinner! 
There will be a vegan 3 course menu. 
Just come by, bring your friends and family and let us spoil you.

Repression affects all people who criticize the current system and therefore inevitably reach the limits of what this system is willing to tolerate. In order not to leave them alone, we want to create a nice evening with food and drink and give the proceeds to those affected. 

The solidinner will take place on 23.07.2021 at the AZ Conni ( Rudolf-Leonhard-Straße 39, Dresden).The meal will be served from 18:30. So feel free to come a little earlier to get a nice seat. Also for the sake of the nice atmosphere, we would be happy if you don’t show up too late.The evening will be alcohol-free, so please refrain from bringing and consuming alcoholic beverages. Access to the AZ Conni is barrier-free and can be reached with a wheelchair.

An interjection from the death houses of this world!

Addendum to June 11 – International Day of Solidarity for Marius Mason and all anarchist long-term prisoners. Due to the mail, the post came a bit later, but shall be published here anyway.

Millions of people sit in the jails and dungeons of the rulers of this earth. Countless people are on death row. Others sit for days, for weeks or for months. Still others for decades. Only a few weeks ago it was announced from Baden-Württemberg that Hans-Georg will finally be released. It was January 20, 1962, when the Berlin prison gates closed behind him – he has been in custody since that day. Since 1962! He had shot two people after a robbery.

Solidarity with the struggle in Israel/Palestine is all about power

With the ceasefire in place, Palestinians returning to their destroyed homes and Israelis leaving the bunkers, we believe there is a need to keep on talking about the conflict. And although for many among the anarchists and left in Germany the situation is clear, and the mind is set, we still think that there is a lot to say.

It is hard to talk about who started first. And although the history of conflict is important, it is out of the scope of this text. Here we would like to talk about power today and the relationship between the state and the people on the territory of Israel and Palestine.

Following the fire in the Moria camp, four juvenile refugees on Chios were sentenced today (Saturday) to 10 years in prison for “arson endangering human life” despite being minors. Two of the total of six defendants had already been sentenced in March at the Juvenile Court in Lesvos. After today’s verdict, international trial observers criticized the lack of evidence and spoke of an unfair trial in which the public was excluded. In front of the court building, dozens of people nevertheless showed their solidarity with the defendants.

June 11 – International Day of Solidarity with Marius Mason & All Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners

Against another year of state encroachment, against the restriction of free movement under the auspices of “safety,” against the continued brutalization of our friends in prison, we call for a renewal of solidarity on June 11, 2021: International Day of Solidarity with Marius Mason & All Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners. For 17 years, June 11th has been an occasion for celebration, mourning, and revolt. It has been a moment to breathe, to remember those fallen and those in cages, to remind ourselves of why we remain committed to the Beautiful Idea of anarchism. Through our letters, demonstrations, fundraising, and solidarity attacks we keep the beacon lit for those who have given years of their lives for their conviction that the State is a horror against which we must wager our lives.

Solidarity with trans*people in prison and trans* liberation heroines #1 in cooperation with malobeo! 

Tuesday, 02 June 2021 in malobeo! Kamenzerstr. 38, 01099 Dresden
18:00 Input: trans* people in prison & writing letters [EN/GE]
19:30 Dinner
21:00 The Compton’s Cafeteria Riot 1966 [Englisch with englisch subtitles] organized by malobeo! - alternative café and anarchist library

There is a Queer Pride in Dresden this year – loud, glittering, empowering. But not everyone can join in the celebrations. Our society is trans*-hostile, stigmatises people, pushing them into poverty, precarious job situations or homelessness. Trans* and non-binary people are often exposed to state repression and face jail. That is why they need our solidarity. We invite you to an event at malobeo! on 02.06.21 at 6pm. We want to give a little input into the topic and together with you we want to write letters to trans* people in prison.

Ralley on March 15 – International Day against Police Violence!

We call on you, come to the rally on Monday, March 15, 2021 at 4 pm at Jorge Gomondai Square!

The year 2020 was marked by the death of George Floyd and the discussion about police violence. However, this sad event was neither an isolated incident nor a new development. Police violence has existed as long as police have existed. Police stops and violence do not happen by chance. Mostly people who are affected are poor, people of color, black people, homeless people, young people, people who do not fit into gender norms, people with mental problems, political activists.
