Benefit for an Iraqi organisation

Thursday November 5th 2015, Benefit for an Iraqi organisation. Volkseten Vegazulu, 7pm.

We are a team from Dutch students and Iraqi women. We organize a nice good meal with vegan Iraqi food. The money that you spend on your meal will go to the Iraqi community in Amsterdam. This is a place where migrants from Iraq, living in Amsterdam, can come to meet each other. Our aim is to give support and to avoid loneliness among these specific group of migrants. With the money we make we’ll organize a nice day with special activities that most of the Iraqi people themselves can’t afford since they don’t have a very high income. Most off all we hope you have a pleasant night and that you’ll enjoy the food!

Volkseten Vegazulu is a people’s kitchen, every monday, 7pm, vegan food for 4€ or donation. All benefits go for social & political struggles. No reservation. From September, the people’s kitchen is also open on thursday.

We’re always looking for cooks. Any help is welcome in the kitchen. Experience not required. Enjoying it is a must. If you want to know which days are still available in the schedule, send an email to joe [at] squat [dot] net and book yourself the night. You can, of course, also participate by rolling up your sleeves and doing the dishes.

Iraq War 11 Years On: What’s the Real Story

Thursday May 29th 2014, Iraq War 11 Years On: What’s the Real Story, Volkseten Vegazulu, exceptionally at 6pm.

The US led invasion of Iraq in 2003 and its ongoing aftermath may be remembered as the worst tragedy of the early 21st century. It is estimated that Iraq has witnessed over 1 million excess deaths, 4.2 million injured people and 4.5 million refugees since the invasion.

– How may we understand the current situation in Iraq?
– What were the reasons and interest behind the invasion?
– What is the role of oil and multinational corporations?
– What is the role of the Netherlands?
– May we speak of Western neo-imperialism?

Join us for a lecture and lively discussion with Ali Al-jaberi.
Al-Jaberi is a political scientist and has worked as a lecturer of International Relations and journalist in Iraq.

The lecture will start at 7pm. Be there at 6pm if you would like to taste our vegan cuisine. The event is organized by Reinform in association with Kritische Studenten Amsterdam. […Lees verder]
