Join us in creating signs for the Anti-Whaling protest on the 24th of March in front of the parliament!
After the Minister of Fisheries Kristján Þór Júlíusson has approved the hunting of fin whales and minke whales until 2023, Reykjavík Whale Save will organise an Anti-whaling protest on the 24th of March in front of the parliament.
For the protest we need to make signs and banners that will attract the attention of governors, locals and tourists, as well as the media. A limited amount of materials for the signs will be available, but please bring your own materials (paint, markers, wood, fabric, etc.) if you can.
Accessibility:
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).
The bathrooms 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). There is no bathroom on the ground floor.
Both washrooms in the building are gender neutral.

Combative unionism in Iceland: how well do the tools and methods of Industrial Workers of the World fit in Iceland?
Iceland has a highly regulated labour relations system with vast unions of workers and employers wielding elaborate networks of legal and bureaucratic weapons. The fundamental tools used for self-defence by workers, such as strikes and other job actions, are subject to legal overview by contracts and by government. How well do the tools and methods of the Industrial Workers of the World such as workplace committees, job actions, and popular participation in decision-making fit this scenario?

Hæ!
We would like to invite you all photography lovers (analog and digital), aspiring photographers and pro, to our monthly gathering at Andrými.
The idea is to have a place where photographers of any type can share their knowledge/work once a month with a bunch of other camera lovers.
This month’s theme is “Portraits”.
We encourage you to get some new shots in the next weeks or to look into your archive of pics and bring a couple of images, no matter the format. The aim of this exercise is to exchange opinions, points of view and share our knowledge.
Also, regardless the assignment, feel free to bring any material, gear etc. with you. Doubts, questions, ideas or thoughts for next meetings are very welcome as well.

The door to the meeting room is 75 cm wide (as most other doors in the building).
After a year, we are meeting for another letter-writing evening. Carrying on the tradition of the Anarchist Black Cross and other collectives as well as celebrating the Transgender Day of Visibility, we will meet and spend the evening in solidarity writing to trans prisoners. We will write to Chelsea Manning, Kanautica Brown, Marius Mason and others.
We focus especially on reaching trans prisoners as they are not only oppressed by the prison–industrial complex, but in addition also face omnipresent transphobia, transmisogyny, physical and sexual violence, frequent prolonged solitary confinement, and denied access to HRT.
We will provide a short list of names and addresses (independent research is welcome!), guidelines on how to write to prisoners, envelopes, and a limited number of stamps. Bringing stamps and/or donating towards their cost is very welcome, as well as bringing pens and paper.
A short intro about a few well-known cases of trans prisoners and the situation in general will take place in the first 15-20 minutes. There might be a movie screening (TBA) as well.
This is a trans-focused event: everyone is welcome to attend, but please be aware of your behaviour and make sure you are not assuming anyone’s gender or pronouns and so are not reinforcing the casual transphobia around us.
Name/pronoun tags will be available.

A lecture on how the police in Iceland was created and who created it, and what the role of immigrants into Reykjavík has been in sustaining Icelandic radicalism.
The lecture is based on a historical study of Icelandic policing and the history of UTL, and on the history of Icelandic labour, where immigrants have now rekindled class struggle in a coalition with the underpaid female workforce.

Aðgengi:
Húsið er því miður ekki vel aðgengilegt fyrir hjólastóla í augnablikinu.
Það er eitt þrep við hliðið að garðinum og svo fimm þrep sem leiða upp að aðalinngangi. Hvert þrep er 17sm hátt. Breidd dyra í húsinu er á milli 50sm (dyr að baðherberginu á efri hæð) og 80sm (aðaldyrnar). Dyrnar að fundarherberginu eru 75sm á breidd eins og flestar aðrar dyr í húsinu.
Baðherbergin eru einungis á efri hæð og í kjallara eins og er. Bæði baðherbergin eru kynlaus.
