Refugee Lager Visit and support in Thueringen
Break isolation of refugees from the lagers
More drivers, cars and (media-)activists needed: Call for support of refugee network in Thüringen
We are currently building up broader and stronger networks of refugees in Thüringen. For this, we frequently visit lagers, organize info-events and conferences. Besides the lack of money, we urgently need drivers who can take the activists from Jena, Zella-Mehlis, Apolda, Erfurt, Weimar, Waltershausen and Felchta to the different lagers or events. If you need more information from Thueringen, please get in touch with us: thevoiceforum@gmx.de
If you have free time for some days or weeks in summer and you want to take part and to join in supporting our daily struggles in Thueringen: From our growing spirit of resistance against isolation in refugee lagers we are calling on activists and supporters to feel free to come over here and to drive with the activists to refugee lagers. Media activists are welcome as part of our documentation program. If you are from outside Jena/Thüringen, we can provide a free apartment (flat) from middle of August until October in Jena.
We are organised with refugees in the lagers for public events and community exchange. We have continued our visits to lagers for exchange program and documentation of the refugee communities here on regular basis, these will be highlighted during the meetings of all the refugee lager delegates in Thueringen in the month of September this year before the refugee demonstration on the 22nd of October, in Erfurt.
