In this discussion, we will explore lessons learned from Spade’s experience in social movement organising over the past two decades in the USA, and how they can be useful to worker organising here in Berlin.
This July, the FAU Berlin hosts three special events: On July 3, we remember the 2009/10 labour struggle at Kino Babylon with a punk night at the Roter Salon (Volksbühne) – featuring live shows by Batterrrii and ZWANG, starting at 9 PM. On July 12, join us at 2 PM at Oranienburg Station for a memorial event for Erich Mühsam, anarchist writer and activist. And on July 25, US activist Dean Spade will speak at the FAU-Lokal at 7 PM about mutual aid and building solidarity in times of crisis. See you there!
We are hosting our next 2-day long Organiser Training 101 in English from the IWW (GLAMROC) from 09:00 — 17:00 , Sat 9th to Sun 10th of August.
Erich Mühsam, writer and anarcho-syndicalist, was one of the first victims of the Nazi regime. Arrested after the Reichstag fire in 1933, he was imprisoned, tortured, and murdered by the SS in the Oranienburg concentration camp on July 10, 1934. His death was staged as suicide.
Am 3. Juli in der Volksbühne: Batterrrii & ZWANG live – eine Hommage an den Babylon-Arbeitskampf 2009/10. Prekäre Kinojobs, große Wellen: Der Konflikt stellte die Gewerkschaftsfrage neu und zeigte, wie nötig und möglich Kämpfe auch im Kleinen sind. Wir sind vor Ort!
We’re pitching in together – starting with our spring cleaning on June 1st – and continuing throughout the month as we discuss, organise, and plan in our sections and working groups: from Health & Social Section to Culture & Media, Transport & Delivery , the Potsdam city section, or in English at the Foreigners Section.
