Migrants, refugees, and BIPoCs are at the forefront of the political struggles of our times. But how can we use migrant organizing as “new” strategic approach to unite for a future of solidarity and together strengthen frontline communities whose political struggles have been ignored and marginalised for far too long?
In this online skillsharing workshop, three Berlin-based female migrant organizers from the feminist struggles of the Polish diaspora, the housing rights campaign “Deutsche Wohnen & Co. Enteignen”, and the “Gorillas Workers Collective” will present their work and share stories and experiences on how migrants can win politically in Germany and around Europe.
Join us for this one-day workshop with storytelling sessions, practical inputs, interactive exercises and discussions on migrant organizing to learn how migrant power can be organised through feminist artivism, urban movements and workers’ collectives. So migrants have a real say in shaping our common future towards equality, justice and solidarity.
