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

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 #6 is out!

The new issue of Daily Resistance is out (#6) – coming along with articles from Women in Exile & Friends, International Women Space, The Voice Refugee Forum, City Plaza Athens and many more.

Grab your copy or a pack of newspapers to spread from your local distributor in Neukölln, Café Karanfil (Mahlower Str 7, U Boddinstr) – or write a mail to dailyresistance@systemli.org. Email us, if you want to distribute Daily Resistance in your city, in your initiatives, spaces or other contexts.

The PDF version can be read and downloaded here:

You can also read several articles of the issue online (with more texts to come) on oplatz.net, e.g. an interview in English with Adam Bahar on the revolutionary situation in Sudan (you can find the text in Turkish in the new issue): https://oplatz.net/sudan-revolution-interview/ , or the farewell statement of City Plaza in English (the Greek original has been printed in the newspaper): https://oplatz.net/39-months-city-plaza/

Looking forward to your feedback, comments, suggestions, and articles for the next issues! Come to our regular meetings, every second Thursday, and become part of the editorial team of Daily Resistance!


Daily Resistance is a periodical newspaper on actual paper written by activists aiming to reach people in lagers. We want to inform them on the state of resistance in Germany and to empower them for their everyday resistance against the system. Together with local supporters, we look to inform and invite as many people as possible to break the isolation.

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.

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.

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.

Vous avez des idées, des critiques, des suggestions ? Venez au premier Daily Assemblage de résistance :

Date : 31 mars 2019, 13 – 18 Lieu : Aquarium, Skalitzer Str. 6, Kreuzberg
Pendant la réunion, il y aura des services de garde d’enfants et de la nourriture.

New issue of >Daily Resistance< is out!

The latest issue of Daily Resistance is out, coming with articles in different languages, namely Arabic, Farsi, English, Turkish, French, Wolof, and German. Have a look on the PDF (part 1 / part 2)
This paper is published and written by a diverse group of so-called refugees who choose not to accept their disfranchisement by the German state. Together with local supporters we look to inform and invite as many people as possible to break the isolation and to get in contact with us.
You can join and contribute to the newspaper as an author or join as translater, lecturer, editor, photographer, distributer, …
The newspaper is now ready for distribution! We are trying to distribute the newspaper european-wide. You are more than welcome to help distributing the newspaper in your city. Just get in contact with us and we organize it together.
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.
