🫶 No one should feel alone in, before and after actions.
✊ Therefore, organize yourselves in affinity groups!
🔎 So so that you can take part in the action days in May, look for affinity groups now! Where can you find them? At your local political groups, in your circle of friends and at the next Disrupt/Tesla Mobi lecture or action training in your city!
👨 👩 👧 👩 👧 👦👨 👧 Affinity groups (approx. 4-10 people) take action together, look out for each other, take on tasks together if necessary or carry out independent actions. They are important in order to be able to organize us better.
❓ You haven't taken part in any action yet, but want to be in action against Tesla in May? Do you already have action experience and would like to refresh your knowledge?
🎢 Come to the action training! There will be considerations of civil disobedience, reference groups as the basis of actions, various blockade techniques, dealing with fears and their own limits, exercises in the finger structure, decision -making in stressful situations and a brief exchange of experiences on the topic of repression. Training is also suitable for people experienced in action.

Current legal aid brochure for Berlin and Brandenburg
Current legal aid brochure
This brochure offers legal advice from activists for activists. Unfortunatly it is only available in german yet! She wants to support the resistance against the prevailing conditions. It takes into account the specific legislation in Brandenburg and Berlin and can therefore be used throughout Germany in large parts, but not in every detail. In the PDF version we have linked each section to the current legal text on the Internet. We stand in solidarity! No person is left alone!
You can find download and further information about brochure here:
