Draag Zwart!

Draag-Zwart

Woonopstand. Donderdag 27 april is Koningsdag en komt de koning (miljardair en giga-vastgoed-eigenaar) naar Rotterdam. Dat is de armste stad van Nederland. Er wonen zo’n 100.000 mensen onder de armoedegrens.

Dit spektakel is op zich al een grove schande, maar het kost de Rotterdammers ook nog eens 4 miljoen euro waarmee het de duurste Koningsdag OOIT wordt.

Wij, Rotterdammers, pikken dit niet. Wij zijn actievoerders van o.a. de woon-, kraak en klimaatbeweging uit Rotterdam en wij pikken het niet. Fuck de koning, fuck zijn miljoenen en fuck dit schijnheilige feestje van sheriff Aboutaleb.

Daarom vragen we je om ZWART te dragen donderdag 27 april, uit PROTEST TEGEN HET KONINGSHUIS en de perverse ongelijkheid die dit symboliseert.

Er is een “Geen onderdaan, wel hard gaan” feestje naast de Erasmusbrug bij ‘De Boeg’ vanaf 12:00 uur.

Relocation message:

Sadly this April we will have to leave our beloved space at
Pijnackerplein, but off course whe could not just sit by without acting.

This is why on 02-04-2023, a colorful group carrying food and furniture arrived at Zaagmolenstraat 165 to open the new Rats squat with food and bingo.

Everything went smoothly and there was a good atmosphere. Until the owners showed up and entered the building before anyone had a chance to stop them. They tried to convince the cops that they should evict us immediately. But the cops just would not come. After they realized this they left and the celebration went on.

Feel free to come by for VOKU every Sunday at 17:00.
Zaagmolenstraat 165 Rotterdam ‘t Oude Noorden.

RATS: Anti Waste Dinner @ Pijnackerplein, Rotterdam Noord

Feel free to join our dinners in Pijnackerplein every Sunday from 17.00 to 18.00

 

We moved location and now we are cooking and serving food in the North of Rotterdam every Sunday. The food comes from dumpsterdiving in the city center every Saturday.

Our goal is to continue to self organize, fight for our autonomy and connect between us but also with the neighborhood in order to form more direct social relationships that are not authoritarian or manipulative but strive for trust and the later forming of a network in our city that is based on self-organization, autonomy, and freedom. 

Yes, we are political in the sense that we fight oppression, we do not welcome racism, sexism, xenophobia, and behaviors that are offensive towards any choice of gender and sexual orientation.

Yes, we cook vegan! We do so because we very much believe in the liberation not only of the human species but also of non-human beings and because capitalism and industries profit from this superiority of human nature by exercising its power on animals. Moreover, they continue the circle of exploitation of labor and therefore, people. 

Finally, we keep safety measures for Corona, meaning you and your masks are welcome, we try to keep 1.5m from each other and we bring our own equipment for eating aka cutlery and tupperware. 

We hope to see you soon and until then, keep safe and keep fighting!
