Dear friends,
A fundraising campaign lives above all through diversity and multipliers. Even though we – the internationalists of the CDU-squat on 25 October 2019 and our socio-political environment – do our best to continually go against the genocide in Kurdistan, to draw attention to the complex of the Kurdish Freedom Movement, and to cover the costs of repression for the legal proceedings in the wake of the CDU-squat, our opportunities in Chemnitz are still limited. Therefore, we need your practical solidarity! We hope to provide a little inspiration through our analysis and actions and to highlight the necessity of an internationalist intervention in Europe. We do not expect you to neglect your work priorities and social struggles to support us, but we wish for some support and intellectual participation. We hope that you will think of our campaign and our aims during your projects and raise money wherever it is possible. We are very excited for your actions and donations! ❤️
Serkeftin! (kurdish: „Be successful!“)

For example, donation boxes can be placed at the entrance of clubs that show solidarity or during cultural or educational events. With a food stall, a cocktail bar, or other stalls at festivals, city events, or neighborhood events, a lot of money can quickly and easily be made. Also with street music or fundraising in much-used, public places or at demonstrations small contributions can be gather-ed. There are many possibilities!

If you are in contact with journalists, media makers or media representatives, or if you have a cool city magazine, you can request if it is possible to print our appeal for donations, to conduct an interview with us, or to draw attention to the campaign in a different way!
