Issue #10 of Daily Resistance is out!

Yesterday morning, 1 October, the 10th issue of “Daily Resistance” was sent to our printer and only one day later it got delivered! It’s a special #OplatzTurns10 issue and bigger than usual, devoted to the Refugee Movement from O-Platz/Ohlauer and all movements around the world. Get your copies by writing a mail to dailyresistance(at)systemli(dot)org – and spread them afterwards, so many people can read it! Here you can download the online PDF version.

The issue consists of several multi-lingual articles, but especially focuses on two larger interviews by the editorial team of ‘Daily Resistance’. Firstly, we spoke about the 10th anniversary of the O-Platz occupation with activists* who were part of the protest camp and Ohlauer school and who reflect on the time, its forthcomings, their current and future activism. Since it’s also the 10th issue (the first one was delivered in March 2016) of ‘Daily Resistance’, we brought together old and new comrades who shaped the newspaper and talked about the beginnings, the importance of own media for the Refugee Movement, collaborations, and plans.

Next to that, there will be multilingual articles and interviews on ongoing wars and conflicts in Ukraine and Iran, reflections about perpetuating colonial injustice by The Voice Refugee Forum, a speech by International Women* Space held at the 30 years commemoration demo of the nazi attacks in Rostock-Lichtenhagen – and two more personal stances on the importance of critical self-reflection in anti-racist activism from 2012 till today. Many photos from several photographers in solidarity from Umbruch Bildarchiv contributed to the issue, as well – thank you!

Let’s continue the fight, let’s struggle together!

Yours,

Daily Resistance

Waiting sentence

Uncertainty is an emotion that amplifies during a pandemic. This is a written text on my experience with the asylum process in Germany. Living in exile and reminiscent of memories. A deteriorating sense of self that the waiting game produces.

I have been in my asylum process for 24 months, that is still ongoing. I had the police come into my home, twice to detain and deport me while I was under a Dublin deportation order. I was not at home. For 6 months, I had no legal documents and had to seek protection from the church. I had no health insurance, no access to the job market. I was in constant distress and walking outside became intolerable with fear. I began to isolate myself from my friends and retreated indoors, the only place where I felt safe. I told myself, it was only 6 months. After 6 months, I would be able to live a life where I have rights, as opposed to them taken away.

Six months pass by and Germany handles my asylum case. I receive a temporary residency permit valid for a year while the case is still in process. The fear that I thought I had left behind, only reinforced a foundation of despair. Moving to a country where you have to learn the language from scratch. Leaving your family behind and not knowing when you would be able to meet again. Having to deal with authorities that constrict your movement and rights. Finding safe housing in a city. Not knowing when the police will show up—again—at your place to detain you while you’re still in your asylum process. Living in a constant state of terror that starts to erode any sense of safety.

On August 4th 2020, an explosion took place in Beirut, Lebanon, that was caused by 2,750 tonnes of cargo containing ammonium nitrate that was stored in the capital of Beirut’s port, for six years. Minutes later, I tried to get into contact with my family back home. The phone lines were down and could not reach them. My cousin worked ten minutes away from the port at the time. In an hour of waiting for anyone to respond, the worst possible scenarios were going through my head.

I was thinking that either my family had died from the explosion or were severely injured. Thankfully, my family was safe with minimal injuries. They were lucky. The others, not so much. 207 deaths, 7500 injured. Streets were filled with blood and decapitated bodies as people rushed into the overcrowded hospitals. Doctors were forced to perform surgeries in parking lots as some hospitals were destroyed after the explosion. Nine months later and the Lebanese government has still not taken any action for this negligent massacre on its own people.

There is constant worry at the deteriorating living situation, that my family is experiencing back home. I speak to my family over the phone, and I miss them. When will I ever see them again in person, incessant thoughts come to my mind. Will they be okay, are they okay? How is life over there? They tell me it’s a struggle but that they are luckier than most and are managing. I never know when to believe their answer, their answer stems from wanting me not to worry. They tell me to focus on my life, get through the obstacles and barriers that this country firmly places on a platter. Systematic oppression sprouts hopelessness. This is what asylum seeking does to people. It reduces me to a statistic and collateral damage to be dealt with by PR protocol. I read the latest updates on racist mob attacks around Germany directed at refugees.

We are mocked, spat on and ridiculed for trying to live after losing everything. We are berated and made to feel inferior by authorities. We are unable to find safe housing spaces, are forced to stay in abusive situations and live on the streets. We are unable to find the dignity that we had hoped for before arriving here. Contemplating suicide after two years of living in the same predicament. Waiting in anticipation for a second-third-fourth- decision that predates my future can dissipate.

When I see mental health professionals, I am recommended to focus on my breathing. Superfluous at best. They tell me to change my perspective and outlook in life. How can I do that when we live in a world where systematic oppression exists. How can I focus on my breath when there is a boot crushing my neck? There are injustices surrounding me, that the capability of fighting back becomes vacant over time.

At a certain point, exhaustion grows into a central topic of existence and taking care of basic needs proves to be a struggle. It frightens me to think that I have let this procedure get to me, but how could I not let it get to me? It directly affects my living situation, in all arenas of life. Sometimes, just sometimes, I have the will to go on. To keep on fighting. I am still picking up the pieces as I go along.

Not knowing when this process will be over and what the outcome would be. Would my case receive another rejection in court and return to a country I have no ties to and risk prosecution? Would I be rendered without a residency again?

Why does the German government treat asylum seekers as criminals? Why are people being met with violence at the borders of the EU when carrying out their right to seek asylum as a fundamental human right.

Why are we only accepted to live here if we can prove to be a profitable asset to the economy?

الرّيبة والخوف من المجهول شعورٌ يتفاقم في أوقات الوباء. ما يلي هو نصّ كتبته عن تجربتي مع عمليّة اللجوء في ألمانيا. يمكنني أن اختصرها بحالةِ تدهورالإحساس بقيمتي الذاتية، نتيجة لعبة الإنتظار

بدأتُ بإجراءت اللجوء منذ 24 شهراً، ولا تزال العملية مستمرّة. أتت الشرطة إلى منزلي مرّتين لإحتجازي وترحيلي بينما كنت بموجب أمر ترحيل من دبلن. لمدّة 6 أشهر لم يكن لدي أي مستندات قانونية و اضطررت الى طلب الحماية من الكنيسة. لم يكن لديّ تأمين صحي ولا إمكانيّة للإنخراط في سوق العمل. وجدت نفسي في قلق مزمن وأصبح تنقّلي خارج المنزل أمرٌ لا يطاق بسب الخوف الدائم. بدأتُ بالانعزال عن اصدقائي و البقاء في المنزل لأنّه المكان الوحيد الذي كنت أشعر فيه بشيء من الأمآن. قلت لفسي بأنّ هذه المعانات ستنتهي بعد 6 أشهر وانني سأتمكن بعدها بالعيش بكامل حقوقي التي سُلبت مني

بعد ستّة أشهر بقيَت قضيّتي في قبضة السّلطات الألمانية. اعطوني تصريح إقامة مؤقّتة لمدّة عام واحد، لكن القضية بقيَت قيد النظر. الخوف الذي اعتقدت أنني سأتخلّص منه عاد، وعزّز فيّ الشعور باليأس. الانتقال إلى بلد جديد، تعلُّم لغة جديدة، ترك عائلتي دون أن أعرف متى سأتمكّن من رؤيتهم مجدّداً، التعامل مع سلطات تقيّد تحرّكاتي وحقوقي، كلّها صعوباتٍ واجهتها. كان الشعور بالخوف وعدم الأمان يلاحقني بإستمرار بينما كنت أحاول أن أجد مكان آمن للسكن. كنت في ترقّب دائم لزيارة مفاجئة من قبل الشرطة لاعتقالي مجدداً بينما كانت اجراءت لجوئي مستمرة.

في الرابع من آب/ أغسطس وقع إنفجار في بيروت/ لبنان نتيجة إشتعال 2750 طنّاً من نترات الأمونيوم المخزّنة في مرفأ العاصمة منذ 6 سنوات. حاولت الإتصال بأسرتي في لبنان ولكن الخطوط كانت معطّلة. كان إبن عمي حينها يعمل بالقرب من المرفأ. خلال ساعة إنتظار ردّاً من عائلتي في لبنان، مرّت في ذهني أسوأ السيناريوهات المحتملة

اعتقدت بأنّ عائلتي قد ماتت في الإنفجار، أو أُصيبت بجروح خطيرة. لحسن الحظ كانت عائلتي بأمآن وأصيبوا بجروح طفيفة. كانوا محظوظين عكس الكثير من الناس الأخرين. 207 قتيل و 7500 جريح كانت الحصيلة. الشوارع امتلأت بالدّماء و الأشلاء، وهرعت الناس إلى المستشفيات المكتظّة. إضطرّ بعد الأطبّاء لإجراء عمليّات جراحيّة في مواقف السيارات، لأن بعض المستشفيات كانت قد دُمّرت في الانفجار. بعد تسعة أشهر على هذه الفاجعة، لم تتخذ الحكومة أي اجراءت ولم تتحمّل مسؤلية هذه المجزرة المتهوّرة بحق شعبها.

لديّ قلق دائم من تدهور الوضع المعيشي الذي تعيشه عائلتي هناك. اتحدث مع عائلتي عبر الهاتف وافتقدهم كثيراً. لا أعلم متى سأرهم مجدداً. تراودني تساؤلات عديدة بإستمرار: هل هم بخير؟ هل سيكونون بخير؟ كيف هي الحياة هناك؟ يقولون بأن الحياة هناك عبارة عن صراع مستمر ولكن يقولون أيضاً بأنهم أوفر حظاً من غيرهم وأنهم يدبّرون أمورهم. يطلبون مني التركيز على حياتي وتخطّي العقبات التي تضعها هذه البلاد في وجهي

القمع الممنهج يولّد اليأس. هذا ما تفعله عمليّة اللجوء بالناس. تجعل منّي مجرد رقم، إحصاء، وضرر

Daily Resistance #9 is out!

Cover page of issue #9 of the Daily Resistance

Dear friends* and comrades*,

half a year after the last issue, we have managed to compile, translate and design a new issue. 10 pages strong, it comes as always in numerous languages (Farsi, Arabic, French, German, English, Turkish, Spanish). This time, many articles explore the repression and difficulties people have to endure in lagers, but also when it comes to repression by the state, the authorities, border police and, not to forget, the media and public discourse. But also, there can be found signs of empowerment, solidarity and common political struggle. Lastly, many calls and campaigns deliver important statements, reports and follow-up stories on previous stories. Support them, spread the word, get involved!

The articles will be subsequently published here as single posts on oplatz.net.

The PDF version can be read and downloaded down below

You can order printed copies from July 26th by writing to: dailyresistance@systemli.org

 

Daily Resistance #8 is out!

10 pages of stories, statements and testimonies in Turkish, Greek, Urdu, Italian, Russian, English, Farsi, German, and French. The articles will be subsequently published here as single posts in the upcoming weeks.

Ce qui se passe dans les camps en Grèce est une tragédie

de Ben / di Ben

Italiano vedi sotto

Il n’y a pas des mots pour décrire la souffrance des gens. Des femmes enceintes, des enfants petits, des malades se trouvent sans soutien dans des camps. Les conditions de  vie ne sont pas imaginable. L’hygiène est impossible – comment respecter s’il n’y a ni du savon, ni des douches? Déjà, les réfugiés qui arrivent dans les camps de misère en Grèce sont en risque de maladie a cause de leur trajet difficile. Si le virus de Corona arrive dans les camps, beaucoup d’eux vont mourir. Ce sont encore plus de morts à la responsabilité de l’union européenne. L’Union européenne doit ouvrir ses frontières. Maintenant! Il y aucun jour à perdre. Ouvrez les frontières! No borders, no nations!


Quello che sta succedendo nei campi in Grecia è una tragedia. Non ci sono parole per descrivere la sofferenza della gente. Le donne incinte, i bambini piccoli, i malati sono senza sostegno nei campi. Le condizioni di vita sono inimmaginabili. L’igiene è impossibile – come si può rispettarla se non c’è sapone, non ci sono docce? Già i rifugiati che arrivano nei campi di miseria in Grecia sono a rischio di malattia a causa del loro difficile viaggio. Se il virus Corona arriva nei campi, molti di loro moriranno. Ancora più persone moriranno per mano dell’Unione Europea. L’Unione europea deve aprire le sue frontiere. Ora, ora, ora, ora, ora! Non c’è giorno da perdere. Aprite le frontiere! Niente frontiere, niente nazioni!

REFUGEES IN CORONA DAYS

Editorial to Daily Resistance #7

This time, we publish our newspaper – which is the own voice of the refugee movement – as a special issue. It was seen during the Corona virus epidemic that again the lowest classes are the most at risk, as in any case.

Refugees were put at risk, were isolated and received racist, discriminatory treatment because of the epidemic. On the border of Turkey and Greece they were reduced to a puppet of capitalist policies. They could make their voices heard outside though thanks to their different kind of actions like in Moria, Halberstadt, Ellwangen. Especially the activities regularly held in Halberstadt refugee camp were effective.

The importance of publishing Daily Resistance and delivering it to refugees was revealed once again during Corona times. The characteristic of capitalism that destroys nature and humans was more visibly questioned. Solidarity networks formed by workers and oppressed people in Corona days came to the fore as an organizational model. The refugee movement takes its place in these solidarity networks with Daily Resistance newspaper.

KORONA GÜNLERİNDE MÜLTECİLER

Mülteci hareketinin kendi sesi olan Daily Resistance gazetemizi bu sefer özel sayı olarak basıyoruz. Corona virüsü salgınında görüldü ki gene en alt sınıflar her durumda olduğu gibi en çok risk altında bulunanlardır.

Moria, Halberstadt, Ellwangen gibi eylemler sayesinde seslerini duyuran mülteci kampları dışında görünmeyen bir çok mülteci kampında mülteciler korona virüsü nedeniyle riske atıldılar, izole edildiler ve ırkçı, ayrımcı muamele gördüler. Türkiye ve Yunanistan sınırında kapitalist politikaların oyuncağı durumuna düşürüldüler.

Özellikle Halberstadt mülteci kampında daha öncesinden düzenli olarak yaptığımız etkinlikler etkili oldu. Mülteciler seslerini değişik eylem yöntemleriyle duyurdular.

Daily Resistance gazetesinin basılıp elden mültecilere ulaştırılmasının önemi korona virüsü salgını sırasında bir kez daha açığa çıktı. Kapitalizmin doğayı ve insanı yok eden niteliği korona günlerinde daha çok sorgulanır oldu. Korona günlerinde işçi ve ezilenlerin oluşturduğu Dayanışma Ağları bir örgütlenme modeli olarak öne çıktı. Mülteci hareketi de Daily Resistance gazetesi aracıyla bu dayanışma ağlarında yerini alıyor.

Daily Resistance Assembly #2 on June 23

Daily Resistance

What is the current situation of our newspaper Daily Resistance? How could and should it continue? The second Daily Resistance Assembly takes place on June 23, 2019 in Café Karanfil. Come, discuss and decide with us!

English below / Francais en bas / Türkçe aşağıda

Liebe Aktivist*innen, Autor*innen, Verteiler*innen, Leser*innen, Freund*innen und alle interessierten Menschen, 
im März fand die erste Daily Resistance Assembly statt. Viele von euch sind gekommen. Wir haben zusammen über die Zeitung gesprochen, und wir haben gemeinsam Entscheidungen getroffen, wie es mit Daily Resistance weitergeht. Wir wollen das begonnene Gespräch mit euch fortsetzen!
Wir haben entschieden, dass es regelmäßige Assemblys geben soll. Sie sollen einen Ort des Austauschs und Kontakts zwischen verschiedenen Initiativen des Refugee Movements schaffen, um gemeinsam darüber zu sprechen, was es in den Initiativen Neues gibt und was aktuell wichtige Themen sind. 
Die nächste Assembly findet am 23.6.2019 von 13 Uhr bis 18 Uhr im Café Karanfil statt (Mahlower Str. 7, U8-Boddinstr.).

Ende Juli soll außérdem die nächste Ausgabe von Daily Resistance erscheinen. Deshalb schlagen wir vor, diese Assembly auch dafür zu nutzen, um gemeinsam Forderungen zu sammeln, zu erarbeiten und zu erneuern. Wir wollen sie in der nächsten Ausgabe von Daily Resistance abdrucken, vielleicht direkt als Poster zum Rausnehmen.
Wenn ihr Fragen habt oder Themen vorschlagen wollt, schreibt uns eine Mail. Bitte sagt uns Bescheid, ob ihr kommt und ob ihr Kinderbetreuung braucht:dailyresistance@systemli.org


Hoffentlich bis bald!

Dear activists*, authors*, distributors*, readers*, friends* and all interested people, our first Daily Resistance Assembly took place in March. Many of you came! Together we discussed the situation of our newspaper and decided, how to continue with Daily Resistance.  Now we would like to continue our conversation with you!
We therefore decided to organise the Daily Resistance Assembly more often. We hope the Assembly can give opportunity for exchange and contact between the many initiatives of the Refugee Movement. We hope the Assembly can discuss, what’s new in our initiatives, and to address those questions that are most important right now.  
Our next Assembly will take place 23.6.2019, 13 to 18 hours at Café Karanfil (Mahlower Str. 7, U8-Boddinstr.).

By the end of July we also want to publish the next issue of Daily Resistance.

We want to publish them in the next Daily Resistance, maybe even in form of a poster to take out.
If you have questions or if you want to suggest a topic beforehand, send us an email.Please let us know, if you can come and if you need childcare: dailyresistance@systemli.org


We hope to see you soon!

Daily Resistance Assembly on March 31st

Francais en bas, Deutsch unten

What is the current situation of our newspaper Daily Resistance? How could and should it continue? The first Daily Resistance Assembly takes place on March 31, 2019. Come, discuss and decide with us!

Why: Daily Resistance was created as a newspaper from the Refugee Movement to publish experiences, positions and discussions from the movement. Daily Resistance should be a means of resistance and help us
to organize. But at the moment the editorial group consists only of a small group of activists*. WE LACK THE EXCHANGE WITH OTHER ACTIVISTS, WE
LACK YOUR IMPULSES, EXPERIENCES, IDEAS AND CRITICISM. THAT’S WHAT DAILY RESISTANCE LIVES FROM, AND THAT’S WHAT THIS NEWSPAPER IS FOR.

What: We think that the newspaper needs a different structure, a different way of working and a bigger “we”. It needs a space for collective decisions about Daily Resistance. There we will discuss and clarify together what the newspaper can be and what it can do for us in
our political contexts. This requires a regular opportunity for exchange and contact between people who want to use the newspaper as an instrument.

Our suggestion is to call an assembly: TWICE A YEAR WE WOULD LIKE TO ORGANIZE AN ASSEMBLY. There we want to talk about what is important in your initiatives and how it can appear in the newspaper. It can be about fundamental debates, about the political orientation of the newspaper, but also about individual topics like choice of articles or organisatorial questions about finances, translations or distribution. We meet to get new ideas, to think together and to make the newspaper again a project of many people for many people. Through the assembly many can participate in the newspaper, discuss,without regularly attending the editorial meetings – though each of you is very welcome
there as well. THE ASSEMBLY SHOULD FUNCTION AS A SPACE WHERE WE CAN CONSULT COLLECTIVELY AND MAKE DECISIONS TOGETHER.

Do you have ideas, criticism, suggestions? Come to the first Daily Resistance Assembly:

Date: 31 March 2019, 13 – 18 Location: Aquarium, Skalitzer Str. 6, Kreuzberg
During the meeting there will be childcare and food.

Procedure
1st block 13 – 15:00 o’clock
Welcoming
Aims of the assembly
What do we want to use Daily Resistance for?
What is happening in your initiatives right now?
15 – 16 h lunch break
2nd block 16 – 18 o’clock
Assembly method and structure
Concrete questions, outlook, planning
Final round: Statement of the assembly

If you have questions or you want to suggest a topic beforehand, talk to us: email/phone or pad: http://pad.riseup.net/p/Daily-Resistance-Assembly
Please let us know if you can come and if you need childcare: dailyresistance@systemli.org

We hope to see you soon!

Wie steht es um unsere Zeitung Daily Resistance? Wie kann und soll es mit ihr weitergehen?
Am 31. März 2019 findet die erste Daily Resistance – Assembly statt. Kommt, sprecht und entscheidet mit!

Warum: Daily Resistance ist als Zeitung aus dem Refugee-Movement entstanden, um Erfahrungen, Positionen, Diskussionen aus der Bewegung zu
veröffentlichen. Daily Resistance soll ein Mittel des Widerstands sein und helfen, uns gemeinsam zu organisieren. Doch im Moment besteht die Redaktionsgruppe nur aus einer kleinen Gruppe von Aktivist*innen. UNS FEHLT DER AUSTAUSCH MIT ANDEREN AKTIVIST*INNEN, UNS FEHLEN EURE IMPULSE, ERFAHRUNGEN, IDEEN UND KRITIK. DENN DAVON LEBT DAILY RESISTANCE, UND DAFÜR GIBT ES DIESE ZEITUNG.

Was: Wir denken, dass die Zeitung eine andere Struktur braucht, eine andere Arbeitsweise und ein größeres „Wir”. Es braucht einen Raum für kollektive Entscheidungen über Daily Resistance. Dort soll
gemeinsam diskutiert und geklärt werden, was die Zeitung sein kann und was sie für uns in unseren politischen Zusammenhängen tun kann. Dazu braucht es eine regelmäßige Möglichkeit für Austausch und Kontakt zwischen Menschen, die die Zeitung als Instrument nutzen wollen.

Unser Vorschlag ist, eine Assembly/Versammlung einzuberufen: ZWEIMAL IM JAHR MÖCHTEN WIR EINE GROßE VERSAMMLUNG ORGANISIEREN. Dort wollen wir uns darüber austauschen, was in euren Initiativen wichtig ist und wie das in der Zeitung erscheinen kann. Es kann um Grundsatzdebatten gehen, um die politische Ausrichtung der Zeitung, aber auch um einzelne Themen oder organisatorische Fragen wie Finanzen, Vertrieb, Übersetzungen u.a. Wir treffen uns, um neue Ideen zu bekommen, gemeinsam zu denken und die Zeitung wieder zu einem Projekt von vielen Menschen für viele Menschen zu machen. Durch die Versammlung können viele an der Zeitung mitwirken und mitdiskutieren, ohne an den Redaktionstreffen regelmäßig teilzunehmen – jede*r von euch ist aber auch dort sehr willkommen. DIE VERSAMMLUNG SOLL ALS EIN RAUM FUNKTIONIEREN, IN DEM WIR UNS KOLLEKTIV BERATEN UND GEMEINSAM ENTSCHEIDEN KÖNNEN.

Habt ihr Ideen, Kritik, Vorschläge? Kommt zur ersten Versammlung von Daily Resistance:

Termin: 31. März 2019, 13 – 18 Uhr Ort: Aquarium, Skalitzer Str. 6, Kreuzberg
Während der Versammlung wird es Kinderbetreuung und Essen geben.

Ablauf
1. Block 13 – 15:00 Uhr

Ziele der Assembly
Wofür wollen wir Daily Resistance nutzen?
Was ist aktuell in euren Initiativen?
15 – 16 Uhr Essenspause
2. Block 16 – 18 Uhr
Arbeitsweise und Struktur der Assembly
konkrete Fragen, Ausblick, Planung
Abschlussrunde: Statement der Assembly

Wenn ihr vorher Fragen stellen wollt oder Themen vorschlagen könnt, sprecht mit uns: E-Mail/Telefon oder Pad: http://pad.riseup.net/p/Daily-Resistance-Assembly
Es wäre schön, wenn ihr uns Bescheid sagt, ob ihr kommen könnt/wollt und ob ihr Kinderbetreuung braucht: dailyresistance@systemli.org

Quelle est la situation actuelle de notre journal Daily Resistance? Comment pourrait et devrait-elle se poursuivre? La première Assemblée de Daily Resistance va avoir lieu le 31 mars. Venez, discutez et décidez avec nous!

Pourquoi : Daily Resistance a été créé comme un journal des refuge*es de publier les expériences, les positions et les discussions des membres du mouvement. Daily Resistance doit être un moyen de résistance et nous aider à nous organiser. Mais à l’heure actuelle, le groupe éditorial se compose uniquement d’un petit groupe d’activiste*s. NOUS MANQUONS D’ÉCHANGES AVEC D’AUTRES ACTIVISTES, NOUS MANQUONS D’IMPULSIONS, D’EXPÉRIENCES, D’IDÉES ET DE CRITIQUES. C’EST DE CA QUE DAILY RESISTANCE VIT, ET C’EST À ÇA QUE SERT CE JOURNAL.

Quoi : Nous pensons que le journal a besoin d’une autre structure, d’une structure différente, une autre façon de travailler et un “nous” plus grand. Il a besoin d’un espace pour des décisions collectives. Là, nous discuterons et clarifieons ensemble ce que le journal peut être et ce qu’il peut faire pour nous dans les domaines suivants, nos contextes politiques. Cela nécessite une occasion régulière d’échange et le contact entre les personnes qui veulent utiliser le journal comme un l’instrument.

Notre suggestion est de convoquer une assemblée : DEUX FOIS PAR AN, NOUS AIMERIONS ORGANISER UNE ASSEMBLÉE. Nous voulons y parler de ce qui est important dans vos initiatives et comment ca peut paraître dans les journaux. Il peut s’agir de débats fondamentaux, sur l’orientation politique du journal,
mais aussi sur des sujets individuels tels que le choix des articles ou des thèmes, des questions d’organisation sur les finances, les traductions ou la distribution. Nous nous rencontrons pour avoir des nouvelles idées, pour réfléchir ensemble et pour faire le journal un projet de beaucoup de gens pour beaucoup de gens. A travers l’assemblage beaucoup peuvent participer au journal, discuter, sans avoir à le faire régulièrement, assister aux réunions de rédaction – bien que chacun d’entre vous soit bienvenu lá-bas aussi. L’ASSEMBLÉE DOIT FONCTIONNER COMME UN ESPACE OÙ NOUS POUVONS
CONSULTER COLLECTIVEMENT ET PRENNER DES DÉCISIONS ENSEMBLE.
