This newspaper is an instrument of organization. Local initiatives play an important role in that practice. Every local initiative can form a Daily Resistance committee undertaking tasks such as distributing the newspaper, writing for the newspaper, produce news and visual material for it. But handing copies to the people is not the only goal. One should communicate with the people. Information on the problems of the refugee camps and ideas for possible solutions should be circulated. On can organise events – film screenings, debates, reading activities – depending on their individual conditions.We are acting with the perspective of alternative media. Therefore, we encourage the distributors and the readers of this newspaper to present their critique, proposals and contributions to the process. We aim to relay the information based on our experience of refugee resistance to the newly coming refugees and to anticapitalist and antifascist movement.

We were like pictures drawn to the sky we were like the breath after the wind and storm and thunder broke our branches down we left our love on the spring flowers. |
(Anonymous from the prison after the military coup d`etat in Turkey)
On May 15th we were talking with Turgay, Can and Faruk about resistance in the media, music and in the kitchen. Turgay is a marxist political activist, journalist and writer from Turkey and has been imprisioned in Turkey for 15 years and sentenced to death. When an Amnesty International campaign against his unfair trial finally helped to release him temporarily from prison he managed to escape to Greece only to find himself in prison like captivity in this country once again. He managed to escape anothere time and continue his flight to Germany only to find himself again confined to a prison like camp. In 2012 he took part in the march of the refugees from Würzburg to Berlin and stayed in the refugee camp on Oranienplatz. Since then he has been taking part in the protests against the denial of basic rights for refugees, other migrants and opression of socially marginalized people in Germany. He works in a cooking collective in Berlin and got to know Can and Faruk when serving food to the people being held in the former airport at Tempelhof, Berlin, Germany’s biggest camp for refugees. Both of them are forced to live in the former airport building, together with thousands of people being held in isolation from the rest of town in a city were for more than ten years only expensive flats for affluent consumers and investors have been build.
the broadcast was live and public at our studio on Waldemarstraße 46

(anonym aus einem Gefängnis nach dem Militärputsch in der Türkei)
Am 15. Mai im Gespräch mit Turgay, Can und Faruk über Widerstand in Medien, Musik und Küche. Turgay, Journalist und Schriftsteller, kommt aus der Türkei, wo er als Marxist 15 Jahre lang ins Gefängnis gesperrt und zum Tode verurteilt wurde. Amnesty International organisierte eine Kampagne gegen den manipulierten Gerichtsprozess und half dabei, dass Turgay vorübergehend aus dem Gefängnis freikam. Bevor er erneut eingesperrt werden sollte gelang ihm die Flucht nach Griechenland, nur um dort erneut wie in einem Gefängnis festgehalten zu werden. Es gelang ihm weiterzuflüchten, nach Deutschland, wo er wiederum in ein Lager gesperrt wurde. 2012 nahm er am Protestmarsch der Geflüchteten von Würzburg nach Berlin teil und lebte im Camp der Geflüchteten auf dem Oranienplatz. Turgay macht mit in Berlin beim Protest der Geflüchteten und Migranten gegen die Verbote und Erniedrigungen mit denen sie in Deutschland zu kämpfen haben und beim Kampf der Vielen in Deutschland sozial an den Rand gedrängten. Er arbeitet in einem Koch-Kollektiv in Berlin und lernte Can und Faruk beim Kochen kennen im ehemaligen Flughafen Tempelhof, Berlin, Deutschlands größtem Lager für Geflüchtete. Beide leben interniert im ehemaligen Flughafen, zusammen mit tausenden anderer Menschen, in einer Stadt in der seit über zehn Jahren nur teure Wohnungen für potente Konsumenten und Investoren gebaut werden.
Die Sendung war live und öffentlich im Studio in der Waldemarstraße 46

This Newspaper Is Written by Refugees, for Refugees — Vice reports about “Daily Resistance”
One Berlin-based newspaper, however, wants to change how the migrant crisis is covered in print, and it’s doing so by giving the platform to the refugees themselves. In a letter from the editors, Daily Resistance explains it’s a publication that’s “fighting against a system of politicians, media, and capitalists that is based on dehumanizing laws that criminalize and instrumentalize people.” Rooted in political activism, the newspaper upholds and reiterates the demands of the refugee movement: abolish all lagers (refugee camps), end the German policy of residenzpflicht (which requires refugees to stay within certain boundaries), stop all deportations, and allow refugees to work and study. Articles are written by refugees situated in the camps, as well as by members from activist groups around Europe. The paper is eventually printed in different languages that cater to its readership, including Farsi, Arabic, Turkish, German, French, and English.
