Taktu þátt í að búa til skilti fyrir mótmæli gegn hvalveiðum þann 24. mars fyrir framan Alþingishúsið!
Reykjavík Whale Save skipuleggur mótmæli eftir að sjávarútvegsráðherra Kristján Þór Júlíusson samþykkti áframhaldandi veiðar á langreyði og hrefnu til ársins 2023.
Við viljum mótmæla með skiltum sem munu vekja athygli þingmanna, íslendinga, ferðamanna og fjölmiðla. Takmarkað magn af efni verður til staðar fyrir skiltagerð en vinsamlegast taktu með eigin efni (málning, tússpennar, viður, efni, osfrv.) ef þú hefur tök á því.

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.
Theme of the reading circles is the concept and reality of work.
Does work bind us or liberate us? What do we mean when we talk about work? How has capitalism affected our perception of work? What does government say about work? Can we destroy work? What would that even mean?
English-speaking trans support group meets the third Tuesday of every month in Andrými (Bergþórugata 20, 101 Reykjavík) 7-10 PM.
Do you want to share your experiences or to find out information about trans related healthcare, information resources or legal processes here in Iceland? Do you want to find support to organise a trans specific event? Would you simply like to relax and have a casual chatty evening and drink tea without the pressure of misgendering and cissexist assumptions? Come to the meeting!
Tea, coffee, zines & revolution.
This is an unprofessional trans-organised group intended for trans and questioning individuals* of all ages, not (cis) family members or allies.
*This means that trans women, non-binary/genderfluid people, trans men, and people questioning their gender identities of all ages are all very welcome! The group is not intended exclusively for foreigners but English is the main language of communication because trans people not fluent in Icelandic are already disadvantaged in accessing care and community support. Of course, if everyone present feels confident speaking Icelandic, the meeting can also be in Icelandic.
The structure of the meetings and discussions is very free and based on everyone’s preferences and needs. If you have an idea you’d like to discuss or any questions related to the support group, please don’t hesitate to send me an e-mail at transsupportgrouprvk@riseup.net.
Name + pronoun tags are available. Washrooms in the space are gender-neutral. The event is meant to be accessible to people with various levels of fluency in English. The entire house is booked for as much privacy as possible.
FB event here. Note: Comments and the event itself is public, but the participant list isn’t visible. It seems like your facebook friends might be able to see you’re going/interested though!
Andrými space is unfortunately currently not accessible (we are working on improving that as soon as possible). 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 doors in the building).
The meeting is held on the second floor, but can be moved downstairs in case it’s easier to access for someone, just let me know in advance! It is always possible to leave the room anytime, and there is a quiet room just next door. There are both soft, quite low, sofas and chairs to sit on. Andrymi has water, tea, and coffee for everyone.
GUIDING PRINCIPLES
– Privacy.
What is said in the room stays in the room. We should not to assume that others go by the same name/pronouns/identity outside the group. We don’t take photos during the meetings.
– Mindfulness that everyone’s journey is different.
There is no hierarchy of being “more genuine” or “more trans,” and our journeys as well as goals and aspirations can be very different. We should always try to speak from personal experience (“I feel…,” “I am affected by…”) instead of speaking on behalf of others.
– Inclusivity.
I want to offer support for as much of the trans umbrella as possible. Trans women, trans men, gender fluid, gender queer, non-binary, dual/multi gender, and those questioning their gender identity – and anyone else seeking support for gender identity. Intersex people who identify as trans are especially welcome!
It’s always really nice and empowering to speak to other trans people and spend time together – this event is meant to make you feel more confident and calmer, not the opposite! Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions/concerns/anything else that would help you to come to the meetings.

Andspyrna’s makeover – tending to the anarchist library .
The anarchist library Andspyrna keeps growing with new books getting added almost every month. These are books that are rarely accessible elsewhere in Iceland so it is important to keep them in good shape for the rascals and rebels of today and tomorrow.
Every other Sunday from 18:00-21:00 we meet to laminate books, bind together the ones that are out of shape, reorganize the categories and more.
A small dinner will be served by and for those who participate.

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.

Saturday 30/09 : 10:00 to 13:00
Gotje Von Leesen : Impact of climate change on cod in Iceland (Maybe one more talk on fish stock management in Iceland)
