Mobi-Event and Discussion-MeetingThe protests at Oranienplatz, at the occupied school in Ohlauer Straße and now at Gürtelstraße have taken the struggle against racism and capitalism in the city to a new level. We, refugees and urban activists, fight together against conditions in which our need for housing, freedom of movement, solidarity and a self-determined life are suppressed by the government and the police. On September 27th, therefore there will be a united demonstration.
At the discussion meeting, we want to give an update on the most recent events at Oranienplatz and on the protests against forced evictions. We also want to discuss with you from a theoretical point of view, if the connection between these struggles is productive. Our thesis is, that the existing urban situation is based on an interaction of racist and capitalist logics and therefore an emancipatory city can only be achieved in an united political struggle.
With Turgay Ulu from Refugee Strike Berlin/Oranienplatz and an activist from the coalition against evictions.
The meeting will be held in english and german (with translation). The room is reachable without barriers.
25th of September // 8 p.m. // New Yorck/Bethanien, Berlin
