Sweden, 5 to 12 August: Förvilda-camp in Umeå

englishweb

What we want is quite simple. We want the concrete to crack up into an ocean of medicinal herbs, to let the clear cuts grow wild and away from the ”sustainable” forest industry, that the psyches of the civilized people, their emotions, realities and everyday life are liberated from the chains of civilized culture, that the oceans are filled with life and not plastics, that our wild friends are let out of their cages, to destroy the scientific objectification which justifies everything from rapes to vivisection, that hierarchies are overthrown, that the air is liberated from its bad breath and so much more.

Stockholm (Sweden): opening of a new squat, Högdalens new Folkets hus (en/fr)

We are a group who on Saturday 23rd May re-opened the old school building on Rangstaplan 22 in Högdalen Centrum. We did this because of the plans to demolish the building soon.

A former public space has without the local communitys’ consent been sold cheaply to a private developer who’s planning on building expensive private housing on the land.

Conference 18-20 september 2015

Now we are calling for the 2015 conference, this time in Malmö, which we hope will build on the previous one and be bigger, better and broader.
For the 2015 conference we have decided to highlight gender issues and feminism in crisis, a perspective that has mostly been lacking in many radical analysis and perspectives on our current situation.

We recieved a photo from a group in Stockholm, Sweden, who just recently started squatting a building in the suburbs as a protest against privatisation and gentrification in their neighborhood. (teaterkvarteren.se)
A table was organised in this new social center with some information about ‘Operation Fenix’, a money/donation box, material to write letters to the prisoners (or to other political prisoners around the globe) and some benefit cake together with this.
