The protests at Oranienplatz, at the occupied school in Ohlauer Straße and now at Gürtelstrasse have taken the struggle against racism and capitalism in the city to a new level. We, refugees and urban activists, fight together against conditions in which our need for housing, freedom of movement, solidarity, and a self-determined life are suppressed by the government and the police.

Urgent call out for donations anti-prison and migrants struggle in Morocco
In Northern Morocco, many illegalised migrants and refugees are stuck, waiting for a chance to cross over to Europe. These past months, racist harassment has increased, particularly in Boukhalef, a quarter on the
outskirts of Tangier.
In the night between the 29th and 30th of August, this culminated in the stabbing of a young Senegalese migrant named Charles. The migrant community immediately responded to the murder by taking to the streets, protesting against this extreme form of racism.

Call for solidarity with Moroccan activists
A Moroccan activist from AMDH (Moroccan Human Rights Association) has been sentenced to one year in prison after denouncing torture. We are calling for people to show solidarity, and protest in front of the Moroccan embassy for liberation of all political prisoners in Morocco.
CALL FOR SUPPORT: translation and publication of Emma Goldman’s “Living my life” in Russian
PLEASE SPREAD THIS CALL!
The publishing cooperative Radical Theory & Practice from Moscow has initiated a new project: translating Emma Goldman’s autobiography “Living My Life” into Russian and printing it for distribution. This will be the first ever, integral translation of the work into Russian; three abridged chapters were translated in 2009 by Sharapov*. This work consists of 56 chapters in which Goldman describes her political and personal life: her childhood, her time in Russia and reflections on the Russian Revolution, going on till 1927. The book was first published in English in two parts in 1931 and 1934, and has been reissued several times since, and translated into many other languages, but never into Russian.
This text is relevant not only as part of the body of libertarian and feminist works on theory & practice, but also for historians, social scientists and feminists outside in all of the post-soviet countries. Such a translation will find an audience in
Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Armenia, Georgia and further on amongst Russian readers.
