IWW Ísland open meeting
Sep 9 @ 13:00 – 14:00

Event organised by IWW Ísland.

Are you interested in improving conditions in your workplace? Do you feel that you should have a say in important decisions concerning your life? Do you feel that democracy should not be limited to elections? Then please join us in IWW in a struggle for better lives and a better world!

We will have an open meeting in Andrými, an opportunity to get together and talk about situations in our lives and how we can together change things for the better.

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.

The space is child-friendly with both indoor and outdoor play areas. We would like to provide child care so it is easier for caregivers to participate in the meeting- get in touch if you need, or can provide, child care during the meeting.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Screening: The Chicago Conspiracy
Sep 11 @ 20:00

An independently organised event.

11th of September 1973, a military coup took place in Chile resulting in a
dictatorship under Augusto Pinochet. The dictatorship has fallen but its
legacy is still present.

We commemorate this day and the struggle now taking place in Chile by
showing the documentary The Chicago Conspiracy. Before the film there will
be an intervention from comrades in Chile.

The Chicago Conspiracy is about today. We began this documentary with the
death of a dictator, but we continue with the legacy of a dictatorship.

The Chicago Conspiracy is about the Day of the Youth Combatant. On this
day, two young brothers and militants of the MIR, Rafael and Eduardo
Vergara, were gunned down by police as they walked through the politically
active community Villa Francia. March 29 is not only about the Vergara
brothers—it is a day to remember all youth combatants who have died under
the dictatorship and current democratic regime.

The Chicago Conspiracy is about the students who fight a dictatorship-era
educational law put into place on the last day of military rule. Over
700,000 students went on strike in 2006 to protest the privatized
educational system. Police brutally repressed student marches and
occupations.

The Chicago Conspiracy is about the neighborhoods lining the outskirts of
Santiago. They were originally land occupations, and later became centers
of armed resistance against the military dictatorship. A number of them,
such as la Victoria and Villa Francia, continue as areas of
confrontational discontent to this day.

The Chicago Conspiracy is about the Mapuche conflict. The Mapuche people
valiantly resisted Spanish occupation, and continue to resist the Chilean
state and the multinational corporations who strip Mapuche territory for
forestry plantations, mines, dams and farming plantations. The government
has utilized the dictatorship-era anti-terrorism law to jail Mapuche
community members in struggle. Two young weichafes (Mapuche warriors),
Alex Lemún and Matías Catrileo, were recently killed by Chilean police—one
in 2002, the other in 2008.

With a combative remembrance
The social war continues!

Skipulagsfundur fyrir fjölskyldumorgnar// Family morning meeting
Sep 16 @ 11:30 – 13:00

Do you want to get involved in a project in Andrými? We are looking for new and old volunteers to join a collective to support the family group and their weekly family mornings on Sundays 🎈

Our house and garden at Bergþórugata 20 has a long and wonderful history as a kindergarten. We want to do more to welcome families into the house and garden, and make it more family-friendly and an inclusive place for children.

The family mornings are a place where parents and kids can come together in a non-oppressive, welcoming and supportive space.

At this meeting we’ll be making a collective to help the family group carry on meeting each Sunday. We’ll organise the work we’ll do to support the group, such as:
– opening the house with the families involved
– making breakfast, tea and coffee
– helping tidy up
– providing child-friendly activities and workshops such as juggling, yoga, crafts, music, games
– reaching out to lonely and marginalised families, particularly the asylum seeker and refugee community in Reykjavík, to include them in the space

You don’t have to be a parent to be involved in this project.

Come and bring your ideas and join us for kaffi this Sunday!

Information on the family group [English below]:

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 organise 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.

‘Defend the Sacred’ – Indigenous Resistance Against Industrial Projects in the So-Called-Canada
Sep 18 @ 19:00 – 21:00

An independently organised event.

An informal introduction to the current Indigenous-led struggle to protect the waters and land in Mi’kma’ki (specifically the so-called Nova Scotia and New Brunswick) and Secwepemcul’ecw (so-called South-Central British Columbia) followed by discussion.

The talk will focus on the Mi’kmaq resistance against the Alton Gas salt cavern project on the Shubenacadie River, and the Secwepemc Tiny House Warriors protesting in similar way against the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Pipeline Project, together with very brief setting in the context of the history of Indigenous resistance in so-called Canada. Additional information will be available on site (texts in English).

Canada’s trying to preach reconciliation but in fact things are as dire as ever – Indigenous unceded land is being quietly sold to corporations such as Alton Gas and BP Canada; Indigenous women, girls, and two-spirit people still routinely go missing, and Indigenous lives are treated as disposable.

Let’s come together to remember Tina Fontaine, Loretta Saunders, Colten Boushie and many more & talk about action.

There’s no entrance, but we’ll try to collect some money to support the Mi’kmaq water protectors & the Treaty Camp (https://stopaltongas.wordpress.com/donate/) on Shubenacadie (please bring cash). The talk will take place in English.
