Ungdomshuset update anyone? (1 Viewer)

[Sly]

I'm organising a Ungdomshuset arrestee benefit gig in London on the 28th April. I guess from reading the stuff on here that some of you are pretty close to the situation. Can anyone tell me if there has been a bust/ABC fund set up as yet? Want to put as much up to date info on the flyer as possible.

Cheers and happy paddy's to ya..........

Apparently there are still around 68 people in prison, this includes all the Danish people who were in the house when it was evicted (though all the foreigners were just deported and it's unsure of charges). There are codes for bank accounts on ungdomshuset.dk

But this doesn't make much sense (apart from the fact it's in danish ) but in terms of IBAN, etc. and as far as I know they were still having problems setting up a specific ABC account and there might just be a general "support ungdomshuset" account. There was a great initial amount of donations but of course they still need money.

Try contacting Ungdomshuset by e-mail

It seems to be quicker (actually responding to e-mails) than ABC, but try them as well at: infoATblackcrossDOTdk or straight away at their phone numbers. +4541126887 and +4526563106

That's great, thanks for the info.

There will also be an initial benefit gig for Ungdonshuset before the hopefully slightly bigger one on 28th April if anyone is in London..........

Come to Copenhagen

After 24 years as an alternative and progressive culture centre for the youth of Copenhagen Ungdomshuset was stormed and evicted by the police on March 1st.

Ever since, thousands of people has been taken the streets all over the world to protest against the eviction and to demand a new place and a future for the cultural and political activities that took place at Jagtvej 69.

Ungdomshuset was not the only target of repression. Christiania is also fighting attempts of normalization. We are struggling against an attack on every single one of our free spaces.


This is why we call on all our friends and supporters for a huge united protest from Christiania Saturday the 31 of March at 2pm. For more information check www.ungeren.dk and www.jagtvej69.dk. For contact write to [email protected]


We invite everyone to come and fill the streets Copenhagen with people to show the politicians, that we will not accept them evicting and tearing down a liberated space without offering anything in return to the kids and youngsters of the city. Nor will we accept the strangulation of Christiania.

All over Europe our free spaces are threatened and attacked by the governments. We will not accept this aggression on our lives and we will not accept the repression against the right to a diversity of cultures.

We demand free space for everyone who refuses to join the commercialized dullness of mainstream society.

We demand a youth house now and we demand a complete stop to the aggression against Christiania.

We will never surrender

The Protest will include grannys kids and bikes. there will be sleepingplaces for people from abroad.

Pass this message on to all friends!

Greetings from the old Youthhouse crew, the new youthhouse moovement
in CPH and the defend christiania initiativ.

Shit, this coincides with the long weekend of Rigaer Strasse here in Berlin. But Berlin got loads of free spaces, so I'm sure they can afford to lose a few. And besides these germans are uglier too, but the beer is an awful lot cheaper, so that could compensate.


Long Weekend in Berlin (March 30th-April 1st)

Since sometime different houseprojects from Rigaerstrasse and around has been meeting up in order to fight together against the evictions, the luxury modernizations and the sell out of our houses. We therefore called out for a campaign to ones again bring this theme back into the public, as well as the theme of gentrification.
We are fed up to be kicked out from our struktures in order to make space for yuppies, speculators, cruel landlords and estate agencies. We are here since ages, with our autonomous structures in where we try to live free from hierarchy and under the DIY principles, in order to struggle against this grey capitalist society, and we want to stay exactly here to keep on living, loving, hating and fighting.

Therefore our campaign motto is:“ Never give up - never capitulate. Rigaerstrasse fights back!“.
The campaign will be opened with a superlong weekend which will take place here on the street.
The idea behind it is to meet up here for three days for eating voküs (people´s kitchen) or brunch together, to dance our legs of at the parties, to let our ears explode at the concerts, to exchange ideas during the workshops and, at last but not the least, to take some mean direct actions together.

This weekend should become a temporary autonomous zone, in which we will be busy talking about gentrification while thinking out how to trough sand in the mechanisms of this capitalist society. We also want to ask ourselves how we can fight against, and prevent evictions in todays 2007, in such a city as Berlin, without necesserarly having to beg the politicians.

Of course we are also interested to know about the situation of other autonomous projects, what´s going on in the other cities and how we could create better networks between us. Therefore there will also be infoevents and workshops, so that we can confront ourselfs with different themes and at the same time learning something practical...share your skills...

Surely, we also wants to have alot of fun together, see some old faces and meet new ones. Therefore will there be concerts, parties and so on. Nevertheless, for us to have fun doesn´t just mean to party, but also to have fun on the streets (fun for us but we hope a bit less fun for others...), because life for us does´nt just happens behind closed doors.

Therefore we invite you all to take part in the actions or to prepare your owns.
Come and join us in „the long weekend the Rigaer strasse“.

The weekend program looks like this (until now):

Friday, March 30th:

arriving...from 16 pm skatecontest at Forcki (park close to the Rigaerstrasse). During the day, actions against gentrification (keep your eyes open for some news), at night voküs in Fischladen and XB, afterwards parties: „daddel - disko“ in the Kadterschmiede, karaoke party in beamer84, punkrock bar in Kontrollpunkt, elettroparty in XB, kicker tournament in the Rigaer78 and party in Fischladen.

TAZ!! Eeeek!

Is that pedarist Hakim Bey flogging his ideas to the autonomen now? I know autonomedia are publishing his shite (as are NAMBLA).

A lot of that german stuff sounds ulta-activistist, no offence shorts. !ninjaaaa

Police running terrorist attack drill or some such, excellent timing for a bit of scare mongering.

Perfect, just what a nascent social movement needs. !ironyyy And there seems to be a few wildcat strikes happening in Denmark with bus drivers going on strike and staff at the state broadcaster protesting cuts also going on strike.
