What we stand for, what we do and can't do:
We are a network of refugee and non-refugee activists. We see our main task in fighting against the structures of deportation and racist laws. We want everybody to be able to live their life in dignity. We stand united in political solidarity. We are independent from the government, political parties or NGOs, we are also not funded by pro state institutions because we work self-organized and selfdetermined. We see capitalism, nationalism, racism and sexist structures as critical parts of society and therefore we want to have no part in maintaining these structures. We stand against any forms of exploitation and discrimination. We want to work together and stand up for our rights with everybody, who joins the fight. Standing up for the own rights is the base of our work, that also means, that we are no “Aid-Agency” where people go to get help - but don’t fight for themselves. Some of us have over 20 years of experience fighting against deportation or in other political struggles. You can find the dates and locations for our meetings in the calendar. Give your struggle a voice, come to the meetings, get in contact; Let's fight together!
There are two kinds of meetings:
EXCHANGE MEETING (Every first Tuesday of the month, 5-7pm in Jena and Erfurt):
Every person who has questions about their personal asylum case is more than welcome to join the meetings. We will exchange our knowledge with each other, so others can use it in their own struggle. We will translate letters from authorities together and try to explain it to each other. We try to organize the translation for the meeting on our own. The people in Jena and Erfurt are connected with each other to exchange information and support each other. We can't provide company to authorities or meetings beyond the Exchange-Meetings.
GENERAL MEETING (Every third Sunday of the month, 2-5pm in different cities):
This meeting welcomes everybody who is already involved in fighting political or for those who want to start fighting based on their own daily struggles. We discuss different political topics and plan campagnes or actions. We would like to get to know each other and stay in contact. We work in small groups or the whole group based on the topic that will be discussed. There is always a small group for new people so it is easier to join and understand. We prepare some topics and focus on them over several meetings but there will be also space for bringing in topics spontaneously. Together we organize child-care for the meetings. There is no time for working on personal cases unless they are involved in a current public campagne. Please come to the Exchange-Meetings for personal cases.
