Last week, we organised the 2nd European Colour of Surveillance Conference with @We_Liberation & @iwspace in Berlin.
#COS24 gathered activists to discuss liberation practices in times of fascism, centring migrant justice
A quick 🧵on what happened!
Day II of #COS24 talking resourcing migrant led organising,
‘We’re talking about the redistribution of funds from foundation but also the political project of redistribution of public money. From militarism and policing towards social protection.’ @Adla_Sha + @iwspace

@BSonblast has been giving great insight into the humanitarian crisis in Sudan and the war that's been happening for 6+ months.
In this clip she goes into some of the reasons why there's practically no international media coverage.

Across Europe, policing and immigration enforcement is becoming increasingly interconnected.
We've organised a legal seminar with PICUM about the intersectional impacts of this on undocumented people.

Let's talk about the climate enabling far-right movements.
It not just that "the Dutch public voted for fascism"
Its also mainstream parties opened that space, made concessions to the far right + failed to offer an unapologetic alternative.
Again and again. Across Europe.
19 million children in Sudan out of school as conflict rages on –
Academic year started with all schools closed due to impacts of the war, risking a generational catastrophe. #sudan#savesudan
Timelapse of the 300,000 people that came to Washington, DC and marched on the White House to condemn Biden for blocking a ceasefire, and for funding genocide in Gaza.
Wars have rules. Civilians are #NotATarget.
Read the 1949 Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War: https://t.co/6GBo9ayhi5
The unparalleled escalation of the hostilities in the occupied Gaza Strip and Israel has taken a devastating toll on civilians.
More than 9,000 people have been killed by relentless Israeli bombardment of Gaza. At least 1,400 were killed and more than 200 abducted in the horrific attacks in Israel by Hamas and armed groups.
With each day that passes more lives are lost and the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza is getting worse.
Sign our petition to call for an immediate #ceasefire by all parties to end civilian bloodshed and ensure humanitarian aid access to Gaza: https://t.co/V9TiHv2qlP 📢
#Gaza spent the night in darkness and fear.
The collapse of the humanitarian system is imminent.
We continue to call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire and humanitarian access to food, water, medicine and fuel.
We also call for the unconditional release of all hostages.
