Call for financial support
Sulti Foundation - Fundraising for Sulti & her family
It is with sadness and anger that we announce the passing of our beloved friend, comrade and activist of color Sulti.
Sulti's entire life was one of resistance and community power.
We fought alongside Sulti, discussed with each other, organized demos, rallies and events. We laughed together, cried together, expressed our anger on the streets, on paper and on banners. We have learned together, picked each other up, cared for and looked after each other. Sulti shows us the power of solidarity for the struggles of different communities. Through Sulti's constant and radical struggle, they have become a formative part of countless movements, whether in the Refugee Movement, Queer Feminist Politics, the struggle for Black Liberation or the decolonial climate movement - Sulti has accompanied each of these movements with all their strength and heart, with a deep belief in radical transformation and enriched them in struggle. Sulti has supported the vision of a just world for all.
Sulti has constantly fought against the oppressive, colonial-capitalist conditions. They were in constant confrontation with the system in order to transform it. The premature end of a radical and resistant life like Sulti's is neither an isolated case nor a coincidence. It is the result of the ongoing colonial-racist systems of oppression and injustice that constantly work to demoralize existences, voices and perspectives. This system has taken Sulti from us. Sulti stood up to this danger and violence with everything they had. The death of our beloved comrade and friend is the result of a chain of structural errors that this system deliberately makes in order to harm people like Sulti.
The family, friends and comrades are trying to be together in this difficult time and organize everything to celebrate and honor this life.
Sulti will be buried in their homeland of Kurdistan. For the transfer and organization of the memorial and all other necessary things, e.g. to cover travel expenses, accommodation, food, lawyers, etc. we want to support the family as much as possible.
We are calling for donations for Sulti and Sulti's family.
Every contribution is helpful, supportive and appreciated.
As reparation, as a gesture of solidarity, love in action or as necessary redistribution.
Or to put it in Sulti's words “abolition is my love language”
Let's be abolitionist, Let's care together, Let's mourn together, Let's support together.

Solidarity keeps us safe - against racist migration politics!
Protest against the new racist "Security Package" and deportation offensive.
Join us this Monday, 9th September 2024, at 6pm at Lausitzer Platz.
Politicians are weaponizing the attack in Solingen to call for measures that further criminalize and target refugees and migrants. These proposals are not coming from the AFD, — they are coming from the CDU, FDP, SPD, Greens.
After already deciding on the end of monetary Support of many refugees and the use of facial recognition by for persecution, the CDU is now even demanding the government shut Germany's borders and immediately push back everyone seeking asylum. This will be discussed in a meeting in the beginning of next week.
This fascist agenda doesn't make anyone safer — it tries to divides us and strips people of their dignity and rights. The political leaders pushing these measures are aligning with the far-right ideology of the AfD, promoting xenophobia and discrimination.
We fight for freedom of movement for all and the right to safety, dignity, and justice for all parts of society. And we know it's possible!
We stand together! Solidarity will win!

Combating White Saviourism in Volunteering
panel discussion organized by Brückenwind e.V.
[message can be shared with other people]
Date+Time: October 19, 2024 / 3 pm - 5 pm CET
Place: Online via Zoom - https://zoom.us/j/92166043769?pwd=yZF3DG53BmvM5GTk6bVnEadPdFt8RS.1
(Meeting-ID: 921 6604 3769 / Code: 318339)
Volunteering and Supporting refugees and people on the move sounds like an anti-racist and honorable action. Exactly this vision conceals the often present structures of domination that exist within support projects. White Europeans sometimes put themselves in the position of the selfless person caring for others in need. Doing this, they actually victimize the people who should be empowered to care and speak for themselves. How can we combat this ongoing White Saviourism in Volunteering?
Together with Hadis, Ali and Mina we want to discuss the structures of Volunteering in the context of flight and migration movements. By listening to their perspectives and experiences of volunteering and with White Saviourism, we are trying to find ways in which volunteering can work on a more equal footing.
Speakers:
Hadis Yakubi (she/her) has personal experience of flight and worked with the feminist collective WISH on Lesvos for 14 months. She gave various lectures among others at the University of Osnabrück and University Berlin to break the silence about the deaths at Europe’s external borders.
Ali (he/him) is a humanitarian aid worker with a background in international law. He has worked at European borders and has also been involved in supporting queer communities and advocating for human rights.
Mina Damnjanovic (she/her): feminist activist from Belgrade. In Belgrade she was mostly involved in queer collectives and in the feminist peace collective Women in Black, where she was mostly involved in actions related to sexual violence in war. In Berlin she is working in the kitchen, cleaning and doing workshops of feminist self defence for people who suffere(..)

AUFRUF KUNDGEBUNG 17.10. 08:30 Uhr morgens, Landtag Potsdam: „Solidarisches Brandenburg – gegen Abschiebeknäste, Abschottung und Faschismus“
CALL FOR RALLY 17.10. 08:30am, Brandenburg parliament: “Solidarity in Brandenburg – Against deportation prisons, isolation and fascism“ for English below

Solidarisches Brandenburg – gegen Abschiebeknäste, Abschottung und Faschismus
Am 17.Oktober konstituiert sich der Brandenburger Landtag – ein Landtag, der so stark wie nie von rechten und faschistischen Kräften gefüllt ist. Die AfD hat ein Drittel der Sitze erhalten – eine Partei, die ihre völkische Politik nicht versteckt und plant sämtliche migrantische Mitbürger:innen abzuschieben. Mit dem BSW haben wir eine weitere populistische Partei im Landtag, die Menschen anhand von rassistischen Argumenten gegeneinander ausspielt. Während sich SPD Ministerpräsident Woidke als Sieger gegenüber den rechten Kräften darstellt, hat er mit seinen Koalitionspartnern CDU und Grünen maßgeblich eine menschenfeindliche Migrationspolitik in Brandenburg vorangetrieben. Seit 2018 ist ein riesiges Abschiebezentrum am BER geplant. Kommendes Jahr soll ein Abschiebelager in Märkisch-Oderland eröffnet werden. Zuletzt forderte Ministerpräsident Woidke u.a. eine Ausweitung der sogenannten „Rückführungsoffensive“ der Bundesregierung, rechtswidrige Zurückweisungen an der polnischen Grenze, eine Ausweitung der Liste der sogenannten „sicheren Herkunftsländer“ sowie Abschiebungen nach Syrien, Afghanistan und Russland.
Diese Pläne stellen einen Angriff auf all jene dar, die vor Krieg, Armut und Verfolgung fliehen dar. Sie sind Teil einer Verschärfung der Asylpolitik, die sich nicht nur auf Landesebene abspielt – die EU und die Bundesregierung bauen ihre Festung immer weiter aus. Seit der Instrumentalisierung des Anschlages in Solingen, sehen wir einen Wettbewerb der demokratischen Parteien in der Hetzte gegen und Kriminalisierung geflüchteter und migrantischer Menschen. Unterkünfte werden in Brand gesetzt, migrantisierte und geflüchtete Menschen werden angegriffen, Schutzsuchende an den Grenzen brutal zurückgewiesen.
Aber nicht mit uns! Die Initiative „Abschiebezentrum BER verhindern“ ruft zur Kundgebung auf, um klarzustellen:Wir werden weiter gegen Abschiebeknäste kämpfen - in Brandenburg und überall! Wir sind laut gegen Abschiebungen, Abschottung und Faschismus! Wir stehen ein für ein solidarisches Brandenburg und Bewegungsfreiheit für alle!
Kommt am Do, 17. Oktober um 08:30 Uhr morgens zum Brandenburger Landtag (Fortunaportal, Am Alten Markt, 14467 Potsdam)!

Solidarity in Brandenburg – Against deportation prisons, isolation and fascism
On October 17, the new Brandenburg state parliament will be constituted – a state parliament that has never been filled with more right-wing and fascist forces. The AfD has won a third of the seats – a party that does not hide its nationalist politics or its plans to deport all immigrant citizens. With the BSW, yet another populist party that divides people on the basis of racist positions has entered the state parliament. While SPD-Minister-President Woidke presents himself as the winner over right-wing forces, he and his coalition partners, the CDU and the Greens, have been instrumental in promoting inhuman migration policies in Brandenburg.
A huge deportation centre has been planned at BER since 2018. Moreover, another facility for housing people that are to be deported is due to open in Märkisch-Oderland next year. Most recently, Minister-President Woidke called for an expansion of the federal government's so-called ‘deportation offensive’, illegally refusing refugees at the Polish border, an expansion of the list of so-called ‘safe countries of origin’ and deportations to Syria, Afghanistan and Russia.
These plans are an attack on all those fleeing war, poverty and persecution.
