As the imperialist war machine of the United States and the Zionist colonial project keeps on attacking Iran & Lebanon, we are channelling our anger to raise funds for initiatives on the ground.
One half of donations will go to the Iranian organisation Hengaw, recommended to us by Iranian anarchists. Hengaw is a non-profit organisation that documents human rights violations and provides support to political prisoners. Many mutual aid groups on the ground cannot safely accept international donations without endangering their members due to the Mullah regime. Therefore, we focus on protecting prisoners from execution and documenting human rights violations.
The other half of donations will go to Lebanon Emergency Relief and Help forcefully displaced families in Lebanon. The latter is built by a family displaced by the 2006 war. They offer informal and targeted community support on the ground, and offered direct and speedy relief during the last war. Lebanon Emergency Relief is mutual aid part of an emergency response coalition, providing food, tents & mattresses, hygiene products, baby formula, basic infrastructure, and more. It’s supported by NL groups like Workers for Palestine.
VoKu at 7.30pm, bands start at 9pm, Vrankrijk closes at 12.30am.
Suggested donations: 5€ per plate for food, 5€ for bands. All proceeds will go to the aforementioned groups in Lebanon & Iran.
