The activists at the KV have already started a counteroffensive. Members of the city council have been approached and will continue to be approached in order to gain the politicians’ and the public attention. For February a demonstration and a benefit fest have been scheduled and the activists set up a website where you can find further information and a solidarity list in which you, your band or your projects can enter their names and leave a message of solidarity. By the moment these news are being posted there is already more than 1600 entries in the list. Stand up and be counted!

Wir bleiben alle!
All of us will stay!

According to the police three of the five offenders are in custody by now. At least one of the them is linked to the Veneto Fronte Skinheads, a group that has been spotted at international nazi rallies like the Rudolf Hess march or the annual revisionist rally in Dresden(D). Verona is known as a stronghold of the separationist and anti-immigrant Lega Nord.

Alerta Antifascista!
Fight back!

"we have a new clothing supplier! we’ve decided that american apparel does not meet our standards anymore. we don’t like their sexist ads with women being objectified plus - reports from knowmore.org and clamor magazine reveiled that AA is hostile to employees organizing for job security and against the speed of work and layoffs. when employees tried to form a union, the company unleashed an intimidation campaign that mirrored the aggressive union-busting techniques of other major manufacturers.
continental clothing is a fair wear accredited company that has a very high ethical standard.
they recently started a campaign to boycott uzbek cotton - due to the fact that the uzbek regime is responsible for torture, slave labour and a continuing environmental disaster on an unimaginable scale - all in the name of cotton production.
and not enough - continental further announced that they are going 100% organic! they have purchased 750 tonnes of ‘100% organic cotton - in conversion’, which is due to be harvested in october. thereafter, from november onwards, all continental cotton garments will be 100% organic, or 100% organic - in conversion. continental will be the first major manufacturer to do this, and the implications for the apparel industry is enormous.
you will note that all items using continental clothing are labelled with the fair wear logo. all other items are still using american apparel stock and will be labelled as well once the old stock has been sold!" [jan]

In Lübeck(D) there will be the seventh issue of the Antispeziesiste Norddemo. This time the focus is on the demand for the closing down of the zoo in Lübeck-Israelsdorf, maybe the most fucked up zoo on the whole of the republic. On the demo Albino will do a rap performance and later tha day Deny Everything and Hoods Up will play at VEB.

One bundesland south, in Lüneburg(D), there will be some need for antifacist action as once again nazis want to march through the city. There will be a collective train ride from Hamburg. Meeting is 8.30h in front of the Reisezentrum at Hauptbahnhof. More info here and here.

To warm up your hearts the night before we recommend the Amalthea and Prothesenballett show at Fährhaus in Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg. [jan]

On May 1st nazis are planning to march through Bad Bramstedt, a small town 50 km north of Hamburg. Their demo is scheduled for 11 a.m. and is planned to start at the railway station, go through the city and back to its starting point. The plans weren’t made public until last week. So there is very little time for mobilization for counter-activities. Feel welcome to join the resistance!

The mayor and the town’s officials are holding a rally on the marketplace just about 200 meters from the actual route of the scum. In theory everyone should be free to go there and listen to the speakers. Bad Bramstedt is famous for its many small trail and shortcuts. As the nazis themselves expect only 100 people on their side and probably the police won’t show up with too many more there should actually be a certain chance to move something.

Be there! Do something! Antifa means action!  [antifa]

If you are less interested in buying the place but rather prefer protecting it you might be interested in joining the demonstration on May 5th at a not yet specified place in Berlin as well as the auction itself at Amtsgericht Mitte on May 8th at totally unpunk 7 a.m.

If the squat will find new owners it is predictable that these will try to kick the people out without caring about existing contracts. In this case: Let’s create a Copenhagen situation!

The national court has spoken ... but nobody listened ...

Yesterday on Monday the 28th the national court decided to second the decision of Copenhagen City Court from 2003. This means that we have lost the right to use the house.

After the verdict we had a huge meeting with several hundred people where we discussed what to do.

Of course we decided not to follow the decision of the court. We have not spent the last 24 years developing a unique culture centre used by thousands of kids and youngsters from the whole city, - and the rest of the world- just to throw it all away on the whim of a corrupt legal system.

Throughout this whole process we have tried to get the politicians to take responsibility for their mistakes and join the efforts to find a solution. They have not showed any interest in this.

Therefore we must underline that if a political solution is made impossible then confrontations will be inevitable!

What will happen now is uncertain but we will prepare ourselves for an eviction attempt from the police in the upcoming weeks and months.

At the same time we are encouraging everybody everywhere to do actions in support of Ungdomshuset and send their pictures and statements to info@ungeren.dk. By so doing, we will show Faderhuset and the politicians, that the only authority over Jagtvej 69 is Ungdomshusets weekly assembly.

Show up in September!!! We would also like to invite everybody for the weekend 22nd and 24th of September. There will be a lot of things going on. A large demonstration on the 23rd and a Reclaim the Streets action on the 24th amongst parties, exhibitions, debates and more. It is going be a blast dont miss it.

Find more information on our webpage:www.ungdomshuset.dk

Here you'll find a possibility to sign a pedition for Ungdomshuset, see photos of actions and demonstrations done for Ungdomshuset (and post your own photos for the actions you do!!)and stay updated on what is going on!!!

Love
Ungdomshuset

Remember:
*Big demonstation for Ungdomshuset the 23rd of September!
*Reclaim the streets on the 24th of September! check out our webpage or posters/flyers to stay updated!

The antifascists in Neumünster have decided not to take this any longer and organized a demonstration that will take place this saturday, january, 21st at 14h. Meeting point is Gänsemarkt.

In the evening there will also be a concert at the AJZ with bands like Red With Anger and Morbus Down. Check the local Antifa's website for details and flyers! [jan]

On november, 13th (what an irony that there is a band with this name...) at about 6.30 pm Timur Katscharawa, a young antifascist, animal rights activist and guitarist in the bands Distress and Sandinista was on his way home with friend coming from a Food not Bombs action when they were attacked with knifes by a group of about ten nazis. His friend survived but Timur succumbed to his injuries in hospital.

We are deeply shocked and honestly angry about this incident. Compassion and solidarity goes out to all his friends, comrades and family.

Fight back! [jan]

The police started to gather more manpower (all in all 300 cops plus dogs and water cannons) and moved their line to the front. The Reeperbahn got blocked by protestors for an instant and time was spent with little games and fopping the cops until the "birthday party" was over at 1h a.m. The nazis were transported away with rented public buses which were severly attacked and deglassed by dozens or hundreds of stones, bottle a.s.o. the few at them.

The evening was quite success. Negative points other than this concert actually taking place and the guy injured by the thrown bottle, were two people who got arrested and the fact that a group of gayskins (at least that's what was said) got falsely attacked by leftists who misrecognized them as fascists.

After the riots in Göttingen(D) and Potsdam/Berlin(D) the third severe antifa action this week! [jan]

[indymedia article]

The police had to stop the rally because they could no longer guarantee for the nazis' security because about 500-1000 mummed radical leftists were setting up about thirty barricades (the majority of which burning) and attacked the nazis by throwing projectile of different kinds. Apart this direct action another 5000 citizens were demonstrating against the fascist march.

Big respect to the former antifa capital Göttingen and its vital scene for the well planned organization and infrastructure and to the antifa mobs from all directions for coming and making this weekend a symbol for the fact that the leftist counterculture is not dead yet! [jan]

The "Ballmann 7" in Kiel city has become a venue for neonazis in the last two months. Rechtsrock from bands like Landser (prohibited as a terrorist organization) drones out into the streets and more than once "alternative" aouths got attacked from guests of the venue when they passed it by.

No inch to nazis! Join the antifascist demonstration in Kiel! [jan]
