Statement from Refugee Activists from Ohlauer School

We are here to fight for our human rights.

Here in the school the politicians try to isolate us – no visitors, not eve lawyers, doctors, not even international activists like Angela Davis, not even our friends and supporters. Shame on them!

The politicians in Berlin try to kick us out and stop our struggle – but we continue to fight for our rights

We are fighting as part of the refugee protest movement.

We had the march to Berlin, and the the protest camp at Oranienplatz for 2 years.

Angela Davis and Gina Dent at Werkstatt der Kulturen

panel discussion with Angels Davis and Gina Dent at werkstatt der KulturenThursday, 05/14 Angela Y. Davis and Gina Dent met with antiracist, migrant and refugee activists from Berlin at Werkstatt der Kulturen. The meeting began with Refugee Club Impulse, a film dance and theatre group staging a performance on coming to Europe.
The following discussion was open to everyone. The talk was on cooperation between activists in Europe and the United States, on systemic police violence, racial profiling and the connection between activism and academia.
Davis stressed a contradiction contained in the notion of globalisation. Everything is conceived as moving around the globe freely except for most of the people – especially those in the global south. If they don’t stay were they are, they’ll get labelled as “illegals” – put back into custody.
Explaining how in France they came across many refugee activists, Angela Davis quoted one of them: “The Mediterranean is an African cemetery” and went further on pointing out that the horrors of todays mediterranean sea repeat patterns of the slave trade at the begining of the global economy. Both human tragedies being based on expropriation and exclusion. Continue reading

Einladung zum Netzwerktreffen für Externe Supporter_innen
Die Ereignisse überschlagen sich. Durch den Gerichtsurteil vom 12.11.2014 haben wir jedoch Zeit gewonnen, unseren flüchtlingspolitischen Protest und die Umsetzung unseres selbstverwalteten Internationalen Flüchtlingszentrums nach Vorne zu bringen. Aus diesem Grund laden wir, die Bewohner_innen der Schule an der Ohlauerstr., alle interessierten Initiativen, Organisationen und Vereine zu unserem Netzwerktreffen am Dienstag, den 18.11.2014 um 20 Uhr in der Emmaus Kirche am Lausitzer Platz ein. Ziel dieses Treffens ist es, den Support besser zu organisieren und zu koordinieren und eine arbeitsteilige Handlungsstrategie zu finden. Wir möchten daher alle Interessierte bitten, aus ihren jeweiligen Vereinen oder Organisationen max. 1 -2 Vertreter_innen zu schicken, die bereit sind, an regelmäßigen Plenumssitzungen teilzunehmen. Wir freuen uns über jede Unterstützung!

Invitation to Network-Meeting for Extern Supporters
The events are going head over healsHowever, by court judgment of 12/11/2014, we have gained time to bring our political refugee protest and the implementation of our self-governed international refugee center forward. For this reason we, the refugess from the school at Ohlauerstr. invite allinterested initiatives, organizations, and associations to our network meeting on Tuesday, 18/11/2014 at 8 p.m. in the Emmaus Church on Lausitzer Platz. The aim of this meeting is to organize and coordinate the support outside of the school and to find a work-sharing strategy for productive actions. We would therefore ask all interested parties, to send max 1 – 2 members from their respective clubs or organizations who are willing to participate in regular plenary sessions. We appreciate every form of support!
You can’t evict a movement!
