2nd JUNE-DEMO
there will be two routes joining in the center.
we are going to join the west-route with migration-block. look for pink flag with our symbol!
come prepared, read the antirepression guide(link on the right) and learn the legal team number 038204 - 768111.
interesting for the arriving is, that the starting point of this route is at a highway-cross. the deal is that more or less all activist arriving in busses will be left there. and as there is no public service during this saturday - it will be very difficult to come from one start-point to the other.
which means also for acticists arriving saturday morning with the train in rostock - it will be very difficult to join the queer-block.

so, think about arriving earlier, helping setting up the camp, and going together to the demo.

Police Raids in Germany

on wednesday, the 9th of may, about 900 cops raided 40 places in germany (mainly hamburg, berlin, bremen). private flats, as well as social centres and bookshops were searched, computers and other stuff got confiscated.there are investigations on at least 18 persons on article 129a(founding a terrorist group).the "evidences" are rediculous, using this paragraph has always been used by the bka(higher police force) to be able to search and control on a big scale while 90% of the cases had been closed again in the past.
in the evening we had massive solidarity demonstrations with several thousands of people! the best thing to happen after such an intense repression.
while of course ther is some more work now, we will proceed on preparing the protest as usual-- actually feeling stronger than before!!!!
for more information please read gipfelsoli and indymedia.

Queer Barrio Basics

These points are not rules set in stone, more tools to inspire and help us. They are the result of a workshop which took place at the preparation weekend in Berlin. There will be ongoing discussion anyway while the Barrio is up and running about how it should function.

MEETINGS:

Translation/interpreting: Before each meeting we should ask who needs translation.

Meetings should be once a day, and there should also be a daily information briefing on new situations as well as a notice board where new information can be posted.
There should be a time limit on meetings.
Ideally there should be two chair-persons with one person keeping a list of who is next to speak and seeing that agreed rules are stuck to (such as sign language).
For big meetings we may use the so-called “fish bowl” system; we divide into smaller groups for discussion then a “spokesperson” feeds back to the larger group. This can help people who feel uncomfortable in larger meetings the chance to voice their opinion. It can save also save time.


BARRIO STRUCTURE:

There will be a kitchen, an info point, a safe box, a first aid box, a meeting place, a relaxation area and a quiet space.

There will be around 8 roles on the barrio each day - jobs someone needs to be responsible for: 3 people for conflict-resolution, 2-4 people in the kitchen, 2 people for radio/telephone (if we decide to have one) and safe box.
We should also send 2 people to all meetings of the main camp and help with the main camp structure (sanitation, security, conflict-resolution, info point)

GENERALLY:
Form small affinity groups of 3-6 people within the barrio to look after each other. For demos and actions these groups are essential.
Bring energy and time to the camp!
Be prepared to take responsibility and take on shifts for as many roles as you can at the barrio.
People should also respect each other’s limits; different people have different skills and not everyone can do every task.
Be a part of a political camp, don’t just come here for a holiday.
Take responsibility for yourself and take initiatives.
If you do need to take a break, say this as soon as possible so that someone can take over the role.
People should be free to make constructive, helpful criticism, not expressed personally, and try to be open to criticism from others.


DRUGS:
Drugs and alcohol should be used responsibly. There should be at least one completely alcohol-free, drug-free space.

Be prepared to deal with all prejudices and discrimination including those based on class, sex, race, image, anti-Semitism, homophobia and trans-phobia.

CONFLICT RESOLUTION:
The conflict-resolution group should be different every day.
The group should consist of 3 people, suggested procedure is that one person acts as spokesperson for each “side” of the conflict and the third person mediates. Ideally these people should not be directly involved with the people having the conflict.


SPOKESPERSON FOR CRISIS-SUPPORT

There will be a crisis-support group within the main camp. Everyone should know where this is and escort people from their affinity group who are suffering trauma and crises there. If a group member cannot do this, the conflict-resolution team will take over.

Repression gegen G8 strukturen

Am Morgen des 9. Mai 07 hat die Bundesanwaltschaft begonnen, bundesweit 40 linke Projekte, Wohnungen und Arbeitsplätze zu durchsuchen. An der Aktion waren dem Onlinemagazin Spiegel zu Folge 800 Polizeibeamte beteiligt. Als Begründung wird der Verdacht auf die Gründung einer terroristischen Vereinignung nach §129 vorgebracht. Ziel dieser soll es sein, den Ablauf des G8-Gipfels in Heiligendamm mit Brandanschlägen zu stören. Der Durchsuchungsbeschluss benennt namentlich 17 Verdächtige.

Für heute Abend sind zahlreiche Solidemos geplant. (z.B. 20h Mariannenplatz, Berlin)

Solidarität mit allen betroffenen Projekten, Strukturen, WGs und Leuten !!!

Bereitschaft zur auseinandersetzung zu klassismus, sexismus, rasismus, antisemitismus,

Konfliktlösungen

Da es keine feste gruppe jetzt für ein konfliktlösungsgruppe gibt sind alle aufgefordert ,täglich einen neue gruppe zu bilden. 3 leute bilden eine gruppe. Je eine person aus dieser gruppe hat kontakt zu den jeweiligen konfliktparteien. Die 3. Person hat möglichst keine direkte verbindung zu beiden konfliktparteien. Heraus aus diesen Positionen suchen wir zusammen nach Umfang und Lösungen.

Ansprechpartner_innen für krisensupport

Es gibt wahrscheinlich auf dem Gesamtcamp eine Traumasupportgruppe. Dorthin begleiten wir mensch. Alle sollten darauf achten, ob jemand in einer Krise ist. Wenn deine Bezugspersonen dir nicht weiterhelfen können, sprich die Konfliktlösungsgruppe an, sie begleiten dich dann zur Traumasupportgruppe.
