From the Greek streets
Benefit night for anarchists in Greece.
This event is a benefit-event for anarchists arrested during the demonstration on the 6th of December 2017 in Greece.
Benefit dinner will be served followed by a short presentation and discussions about the 6th of December demonstrations and riots, the ongoing prisoners struggle in Greece and the meaning of revolutionary solidarity.
……..
6 December 2008, 15 years old Alexis Grigoropoulos is shot point blank by cops in the neighborhood of Exarchia in Athens. The murder sparked a string of riots that spread like wildfire all over Greece and inspired solidarity actions and riots in more than 70 cities around the world. These events are now known as the Desember revolt. Every year on the 6th of December people take to the streets to commemorate the murder and the uprising and to continue the struggle against the oppressive mechnism of the State and capital. During this day we fight and defend our neighborhoods and spaces of resistance, our self-organized projects, the ground where we live, meet and organize to fight back. Nine years after the December revolt people still face the same murdeous institutions that want to control our lives according to their desire for profit and social control.
During times of economic and political destabilization, known by some as crisis – another word for the restructuring of society in favour of the capital and the state-, there were many that had hoped for and thought that a Syriza led left-wing government would save them. As was pointed out before and has now been confirmed, the government of Syriza has only continued the violent impositions of social policies that aims for the continoues flow of capital profit. With a “soft” approach to repression, always hiding themselfes behind the police institution, it has stepped up its efforts to flatten the resistance of thouse who are fighting by upgrading its legal arsenal (new prison and penal codes), detentions and violent beating of demonstrators. Hope will not save us, neither a leftist government, or any government for that matter. There is only our struggle and the relationships we build that can bring us closer to our goals.
Noting is over,everything continous.

Við erum hópur fjölskyldna sem komum saman í Andrými þar sem við skipuleggjum vikulega viðburði á sunnudögum. Komið og takið þátt í að skipuleggja þann heim sem við viljum skapa fyrir fjölskyldurnar okkar, og hjálpið okkur við að láta framtíðarsýn verða að veruleika.
Ykkur er velkomið að koma með mat fyrir fjölskyldu ykkar, og einnig til að deila með öðrum ef þið viljið. Vinsamlegast látið vita ef einhver fjölskyldumeðlimur er með fæðuóþol eða þarfnast aðstoðar, t.d. vegna fötlunar eða öryggis, og við reynum að sjá til þess að allir geti verið öruggir og notið sín.
Við viljum skapa umhverfi sem er skemmtilegt, en um leið berjumst við gegn félagslegri kúgun og umberum hvorki mismunun né ofbeldi. Ætlunin er að viðburðirnir séu aðgengilegir öllum, óháð einstaklingsgetu.
Við bjóðum sérstaklega velkomna þá einstaklinga sem finnst þeir vera jaðarsettir, kúgaðir eða ekki eiga heima í öðrum fjölskyldusamkundum. Sem hluti af Andrými félagshreyfingunni, leggjum við áherslu á samstöðu með þeim sem eru kúgaðir, stuðning við náttúruna, baráttu gegn ofbeldi – þar með talið efnahagslegt ofbeldi – og hvetjum til þátttöku í sameiginlegri ákvarðanatöku.

We are a group of families who meet in Andrými where we organize weekly events on Sundays.
Please join us to relax, talk, create, plan, build, construct, deconstruct, and form the world we want for ourselves and our families. You are welcome to bring food for your family, and to share, if you would like. If someone in your family has special needs (accessibility, safety, allergies, etc.) we will try to make the space and activities safe and enjoyable for everybody! There is space to relax and some tea and coffee.
We are cultivating an environment for fun and reflection where we fight oppression and do not allow discrimination and violence. The space where we meet, and the activities we organize, are intended to be accessible to people of all different abilities, and we welcome people who may have felt marginalized or excluded from other family groups. As a part of the Andrými social cooperative, we adhere to the policies of solidarity with oppressed people, support of the natural world, fight against violence including economic violence, and encourage collective decision making.

Accessibility:
The building is currently not wheelchair accessible, unfortunately, but it is our top priority to make it so. An architect is already working on drawing a ramp and making an accessible bathroom in the space.
There is a step before the garden gate and then 5 steps leading to the main entrance, each 17 cm high, door widths in the building vary between 50 cm (upstairs washroom door) and 80 cm (entrance door), and the washrooms are so far only on the upper floor and in the basement. The door to the meeting room is 75 cm wide (as most other doors in the building).
Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral.
