The initial plans for a solidarity demo were changed after the hungerstrike was ended, but yesterday when people came together at the Dokwerker to celebrate the victory of the hungerstrikers, they together decided to do a demo through the city after all, where texts were read out loud through speakers and leaflets handed out to inform the public about the situation.

Solidarity demo with 300 Migrants on Hungerstrike in Greece.Video part 1 + update
from: http://www.occupiedlondon.org/blog/2011/03/10/536-the-hunger-strike-of-the-three-hundred-migrant-workers-has-ended-the-struggle-for-a-world-of-equality-solidarity-and-freedom-continues/
#536 | The hunger strike of the three-hundred migrant workers has ended. The struggle for a world of equality, solidarity and freedom continues…
The hunger strike of the three-hundred migrant workers has ended. The struggle for a world of equality, solidarity and freedom continues…
On January 25th, 2011 three-hundred migrants in Athens and Thessaloniki commenced a fierce hunger strike, claiming the most basic things: equal rights with the local workers and the legalisation of all migrants living, working and moving across the country.
44 days later and after more than 100 strikers were hospitalised with serious health issues, the state was forced to drop its intransigent attitude along with previous threats of deportation of the strikers and to negotiate officially with them, meeting a significant part of their demands:
- Decrease of the required residence time of migrants in the country in order to submit applications for residence permits to 8 years, down from 12 years before (this applies to every single migrant living in the Greek territory)
- Decrease of the required work credits to 120, from 200 before (same as for local workers)
- Decrease of the work credits required for insurance cover to 50, from 80 before (this applies to all workers, local and migrant)
- For the three-hundred hunger strikers in particular, the allowance has been given for them to indefinitely renew their 6-month "state of tolerance" status until the time when they reach the time and conditions to receive a residence permit. During that time they will be allowed to travel freely to and from their country of origin.The three-hundred migrant strikers risked their lives not on the basis of individualistic or utilitarian motives but for a collective right, in a struggle that asserted rights concerning the dignity of the entire working class. This hunger strike is a social struggle against the illegality of all migrants, a struggle addressing the entire class of workers. It comes as a continuation of struggles of the recent past, from the farmer-migrants in Manoliada, Ilia and Skala, Lakonia to the strike of the fishermen-migrants in Michaniona, Thessaloniki.The struggle of the three-hundred migrant workers proves nothing is impossible.
If the three-hundred achieved this, imagine what thousands of migrants-workers-repressed can achieve together

SAINT NICHOLAS'S AGAINST RACISM Action - Movie
Like every year also this one black saint against racism its doing his educational action. Here it's the movie
And here the speech for kids from last year:
SAINT NICHOLAS'S AGAINST RACISM
When a child of five years says to his
school teacher :
"He can't be Saint Nicholas"
And the school teacher asks:
"Why not"
To which the five year old boy replies:
" Because his skin is black"
You may wonder why I am dressed as
Saint Nicholas with a black face.
To which I will reply:
"WHY NOT"?
This question was asked recently by a five year old boy in a Dutch school.
Some believe that the Caucasian race is by far superior to all other races. This is racism, it is called White Supremacism. Racism can be expressed subtly, this being much harder to identify. White Supremacism can be expressed overtly and accepted by mainstream in a blink of an eye, without questioning such overt antics. Picture this, a white bearded figure named Saint Nicholas sitting on a white horse, and wearing religious red bishop robes. Let's not forget Christians associated the colour black with evil and degradation. His submissive slave/servant named Zwarte Piete, who has supposedly evolved from a devil and was miraculously tamed by that wonderful white supremacist Saint Nicholas. Others say that Pete is an Ethiopian slave freed by that pure and very white Saint.So as it goes Zwarte Piete symbolized the devil, a joker who was submissive, frightening and disobedient. Anyone who shouts 'It's Dutch Tradition' is using this to block intelligent analysis and maintain the status quo of negative stereotyping. Get educated and read about the Dutch History of Colonialism and Slavery and stuff Tradition where the 'Sun Doesn't Shine'

And some history:
The first voices that protested against Black Peter came from the former Dutch colony Surinam where the holiday was also a national celebration. When Surinam received its status of independence in 1975, the black slave was abolished. A new movement came into existence that searched for new positive images of black people. Representations of blacks as docile and submissive were no longer accepted. "Saint Nicholas" was changed into a black figure called "Good Father" and accompanied by black "employees". This change may seem minor but also in Surinam the myth of the white saint and his black slave was difficult to contest or criticise. For example, in 1970 writer Astrid Roemer was a High School teacher who refused to celebrate the holiday at school. She talked to her colleques and the principle of the school, but they refused to listen to her arguments. The day of the celebration she did not appear at the school. She was fired the next day.
In the seventies a lot of Surinamese people migrated to the Netherlands due to the political circumstances in their home country. Their presence led to a re-evaluation of the ways the Dutch dealt with their colonial history and their images of black people. Again Black Peter was scrutinised, only this time in a context where the majority of society was white. Blacks had already experienced the insult of hearing "Black Peter!" shouted at them on the streets in Paramaribo (as they were associated with the figure), but the person shouting was often black himself. In the Netherlands they entered a society that hardly knew anything about them; the only images white people were familiar with were stereotypes like 'Black Peter'. In response to the insult of the stereotype some Surinamese people refused to send their children to school when "Saint Nicholas" was celebrated, others urged for alternatives like a red or blue "Peter" in stead of a black one. For a while the yellow, blue, red painted versions of "Black Peter" were successful but as the protest-voices declined the Black version of Peter dominated the eighties.

Videoverslag demonstratie van AAGU op 22 november.
Op 22 november hield de AAGU (Anarchistische Antideportatie Groep Utrecht) een demonstratie van de rechtbank op het Vrouwe Justitiaplein naar het kantoor van de IND (Immigratie en Naturalisatie Dienst) aan de Bergstraat, in Utrecht.
In de rechtbank dienden twee zaken tegen de AAGU uit 2008 en 2009, respectievelijk een bezetting van het dak van het detentiecentrum Kamp Zeist en een bezetting van het Kennis en Leercentrum van de IND.
AAGU laat zich niet veroordelen en heeft daarom de zitting niet bijgewoond. Wij verklaren de IND moreel failliet!

Black Sint Against Racism
Comming days in some places around center of Amsterdam would be possible to see Black Saint Against Racism. We interviewed him to find out why he is doing it. Here You can watch the movie where he is explaining in simple way his statement for respect, for tolerance, for liberation of Black Peters, against slavery, discrimination and racism. The movie is made for children so if You are parent or If You know some parent's or children let them see this funny and educational,short movie. :)
Educational movie for kids about racism and disrimination, made by colecitive Spirit Of Squatters.
tekst below from : http://www.ferris.edu/JIMCROW/question/jan05/
The first voices that protested against Black Peter came from the former Dutch colony Surinam where the holiday was also a national celebration. When Surinam received its status of independence in 1975, the black slave was abolished. A new movement came into existence that searched for new positive images of black people.

This change may seem minor but also in Surinam the myth of the white saint and his black slave was difficult to contest or criticise. For example, in 1970 writer Astrid Roemer was a High School teacher who refused to celebrate the holiday at school. She talked to her colleques and the principle of the school, but they refused to listen to her arguments. The day of the celebration she did not appear at the school. She was fired the next day.
In the seventies a lot of Surinamese people migrated to the Netherlands due to the political circumstances in their home country. Their presence led to a re-evaluation of the ways the Dutch dealt with their colonial history and their images of black people. Again Black Peter was scrutinised, only this time in a context where the majority of society was white. Blacks had already experienced the insult of hearing "Black Peter!" shouted at them on the streets in Paramaribo (as they were associated with the figure), but the person shouting was often black himself. In the Netherlands they entered a society that hardly knew anything about them; the only images white people were familiar with were stereotypes like 'Black Peter'. In response to the insult of the stereotype some Surinamese people refused to send their children to school when "Saint Nicholas" was celebrated, others urged for alternatives like a red or blue "Peter" in stead of a black one. For a while the yellow, blue, red painted versions of "Black Peter" were successful but as the protest-voices declined the Black version of Peter dominated the eighties.
In the Netherlands 17 percent of its citizens are people of 'color' right now. Most people are from former colonies like Indonesia and Surinam but a lot of people have their roots in Morocco and Turkey. They were drafted to do factory-work in Holland during the seventies with the idea that they would return home after a few years. But history decided otherwise; their wives and children joined them later and together they started a new future. This 17 percent of citizens are called "Allochtonen", a combination of two Greek words that literally means; "from another world, earth". This definition of citizenship is problematic in itself because it denies everyone who isn't white, Dutch membership. The 'allochtoon' is the Other; the ones who are usually discussed as a problem population by the media, in the political sphere and academia; all of which are pre-dominantly white and male. The 'allochtonen' are located in the so-called 'multicultural' society that exists in juxtaposition to the ‘Dutch society’, the domain of ‘Dutch’ people also called ‘Autochtones’ which means "from this earth".
The dualist relationship in which the two groups are locked in characterises the way Dutch society deals with the identities of her citizens. One can be Dutch by passport but that doesn't mean one can automatically claim the national identity of 'Dutchman'. For this identity the main condition is that one simply is White or looks White. Although whiteness determines whether one can claim the national identity, the effects of this ethnic factor are not being acknowledged. The ethnic factor and its power effects become invisible as it’s turned into an neutral universal category (that sets the norm) by particularising the identity of the Other; the migrant, her children ànd grandchildren. The identities of non-whites versus “Dutch” people are defined in terms of difference, dichotomies: the Allochtoon becomes everything the white Dutch person, the Autochtoon, is not.
This is problematic when it comes to having an active role in the way the nation-state should be organised. Although we are officially all equal, membership counts when it comes to public deliberation. The second rate citizenship of the ‘Other’ was also used as a strategy in the debate on Black Peter.
While there were always people, black and white, who individually protested against the celebration, the protest got organised in1995 by a group of second and third generation migrants. Contrary to their parents or grandparents they are born in the Netherlands, not limited by the idea that they are "guests”, having to conform to the symbols of a "host" which they find insulting. They are part of a generation of people that demands a place in Dutch society much more forcefully. Because of their input the discussion became a national one in 1996 in the sense that it was being discussed on television, in newspapers and schools.
The critics of Black Pete were repeatedly confronted with the argument that ‘they’ did not have the right to critique 'Dutch tradition' because they weren't 'Dutch'. The discussion was being polarised as if the different opinions were divided along ‘racial’ lines. The argument is as follows: as an 'allochtoon', a 'migrant', one has to accept the Dutch ‘traditions’. Just as a ‘Dutch’ person would have to accept local traditions when they lived in ‘another’ country. The logic here is that it’s not their country and culture that the youngsters are criticizing.
By ascribing second-rate citizenship to the critics who aren’t considered “Dutch”, the authority of the speaker is undermined. On the other hand when it appears that the critic is white, he or she is often being marginalized as being “political correct”, which is used as a contemptuous term. The letters in the newspapers and on the internet were in general very emotional, reflecting a fear that ‘Dutch’ culture is being ‘threatened’ by ‘foreigners’ The main arguments were:
* The holiday is a celebration for children and children aren’t racist.
* It’s a matter of ‘tradition’ (that certainly can’t be changed by ‘Foreigners’).
* The critics are the ones who make it racist.
The refusal to listen to counter-arguments and reply those with substantial criticism (in stead of ridiculing or marginalizing them) reflects an insensibility for the opinion of a minority. The portrayed image of the Netherlands as being “the most tolerant nation in the world” makes a critical self-reflection also very difficult: every accusation of racism is beforehand answered with denial.
One could say that the real problem in the Netherlands is not Black Peter, but for example the fact that the unemploymancy rate among colored people is ten times higher than whites. Of course the real problem is not Black Peter in itself. The debate about Black Peter and the white Saint however, is a discussion about citizenship, identity, and racism. And because this discussion does not take place behind closed doors between politicians and intellectuals only, but in schools, between colleques, family-members and friends, it offers us a chance to challenge old conceptions of self and other at many different levels. However, this annual debate is not sufficient to change things, but it can lead to more activism, a critical outlook and recognition of those situations where the same strategies of marginalization are being used. The Black servant and his White master can not be isolated from the social context, Dutch society, in which they exist.

EDL supporting Wilders demo.Counter-protests.Part 2
Press release antifa!-amsterdam antifa
Press Release: EDL demonstration embarrasment, anti-fascists very satisfied with counter-protests.
Antifa! Amsterdam is positive about the course of the demonstrations and actions today in Amsterdam.
In many ways today it became crystal clear that no'one over here wants the kind of fascist street-activism as the right-wing English Defence League hopes to export to mainland Europe.
The demonstration of the EDL / DDL was an outright failure, not more than 50 protesters eventually took the trouble to show their support for Wilders. This while the organization, even after the forced relocation to a midle of nowhere spot in the western docklands, still said this week to expect up to1,000 supporters.
In the end, the meager turnout (in particular on the part of the Dutch Defence League, only a few of the protesters were Dutch) and the fierce resistance that they were confronted with should be an omen about the future prospects of their crossing of the channel.
This while simultaneously a broad range of hundreds of people and dozens of groups showed throughout the city their disapproval and anger about the coming of the racist scum to the capital.
Antifa! Amsterdam expresses support and appreciation to each and everyone who has gone out on the streets today against racism and xenophobia.
From the hundreds of protesters who protested at 1941 general strike monument, the dozens of activists that spread over the city to prevent that the EDL would still showup in the center, to the many people who decided to ignore the emergency orders from the mayor and went in direct action in the docklands.
The great variety of people who have come today in opposition is a clear signal, from young immigrants to experienced activists, from soccer fans to social organizations.
In particular, the presence of Jewish individuals and the reform movement in Iran, for whom the EDL pretends to speak, and the high turnout of football fans that the EDL consider as their natural support, show that people are not deceived by the EDL.
In summary Antifa! Amsterdam considers the day as overwhelmingly successful, and calls on everyone to keep fighting, in resistance against discrimination, hatred, fear and extreme right violence.

Ruim 1.000 demonstranten hebben zaterdag bij de Dokwerker in
Amsterdam duidelijk gemaakt dat ze pal voor Artikel 1 van de Grondwet
staan. En dat deze bijeenkomst een begin is om een breed protest
tegen racisme op te zetten. De manifestatie richtte zich tegen het
beleid van de regering (gesteund door de PVV), waardoor discriminatie
van bevolkingsgroepen normaal lijkt te worden.
Op de manifestatie van het Platform tegen Vreemdelingenhaat bij de
Dokwerker waren volgens de gemeente Amsterdam 1.000 demonstranten,
terwijl het pro-Wilders protest van de extreemrechtse DDL / EDL in
Amsterdam-West slecht 50 mensen trok.
Het Platform tegen Vreemdelingenhaat bestaat uit 25 (minderheden-)
organisaties die zich zorgen maken over de snel toenemende
intolerantie in Nederland. Bij de Dokwerker spraken ondermeer
Mohammed Rabbae (Landelijk Beraad Marokkanen), Jaap Hamburger (Een
Ander Joods geluid) en Lydia Rood (Schrijfster en columnist).

EDL supporting Wilders demonstration "Don't buy the lie.Part 1:"Our bus has no windows left" video
persbericht antifa!-a'dam over verloop EDL demo
Antifa!-Amsterdam - 30.10.2010 18:03
Persbericht: EDL demonstratie gênante afgang, anti-fascisten zeer tevreden over tegen-protest
Antifa!-Amsterdam is positief over het verloop van de demonstraties en acties vandaag in Amsterdam.
Op veel verschillende manieren werd vandaag kristal helder dat men niet zit te wachten op het soort fascistoïde straat-activisme zoals de extreem rechtse English Defence League hoopt te exporteren naar het vaste land van Europa.
De demonstratie van de EDL/DDL bleek een regelrechte afgang, hoogstens 50 demonstranten namen uiteindelijk de moeite om hun steun te betogen aan Wilders. Dit terwijl de organisatie, zelfs na de verplaatsing naar een tochtig bedrijven terrein, van de week nog zei tot 1000 aanhangers te verwachten.
Uit eindelijk moet de magere opkomst met name die van de kant van de Dutch Defence League, slecht enkele van de demonstranten waren nederlands, en het felle verzet waar mee ze geconfronteerd werden een teken aan de wand zijn over de toekomst perspectieven van hun oversteek van het kanaal.
Dit terwijl er tegelijkertijd een breed scala van honderden verschillende mensen en tientallen groepen verspreid over de stad hun afkeuring en woede over de komst van het racistisch tuig naar de hoofdstad.
Antifa!-Amsterdam spreekt haar steun en waardering uit aan iedereen die vandaag de straat op is gegaan tegen racisme en vreemdelingen haat.
Van de honderden demonstranten die betoogden bij de dokwerker, de tientallen activisten die zich verspreiden over de stad om te voorkomen dat de EDL zich zou roeren in het centrum tot de vele mensen die besloten de noodbevelen van de burgemeester naast zich neer te leggen en directe actie probeerden te voeren in het westelijk havengebied.
Ook de zeer grote verscheidenheid van mensen die vandaag in verzet zijn gekomen is een duidelijk signaal; van jonge migranten tot ervaren activisten, van voetballiefhebbers tot maatschappelijke organisaties.
Met name de aanwezigheid van joodse individuen en de hervormingsgezinde beweging in Iran voor wie de EDL pretendeert te spreken en grote opkomst van voetbalsupporters die de EDL als hun natuurlijke achterban beschouwt maken duidelijk dat mensen zich geen rad voor de ogen laten draaien over wat voor vlees ze in de kuip hebben.
Samengevat beschouwt Antifa!-Amsterdam de dag als overwegend zeer succesvol en roept iedereen op om in het verweer te blijven komen tegen discriminatie, haat, angst en extreem-rechts geweld.

Video Partij Voor de Vrijhaat + others at the CDA Congress
Video Partij Voor de Vrijhaat + others at the CDA Congress
Rebelact -
Saturday, Oct 2nd about 5000 members of the Christendemocrats (CDA) gathered in Arnhem to discuss and decide about cooperation with the PVV.
Because the outcome should be unsure, it was the extreme right moment to show how wonderful it should be to cooperate with the 'Partij Voor de Vrijhaat' ('Party For Freehate'). Finally 68 % agreed and took responsibility for legitimizing PVV politics.
