queer feminist organisation against the G20 summit in Hamburg!
We invite you to our sixth and last open meeting to organise the
queer-feminist
resistance against the G20 summit in Hamburg, which takes place at
Juli 7th and 8th.
We divided in several working groups and still need more
women/lesbian/trans/inter* persons who want to join us in our
preparations for different actions at the week of the summit. The
working groups are looking forward to new supporters who bring new
power and diversity into our meetings!
The meeting takes place at
June 18th, 13h – 17h (please note, as it is our last meeting before the
summit, we might need a little bit more time…) at Plan B (cellar),
Bernhard-Nocht-Str. 26, Entrance from Hafenstraße, in Hamburg-St. Pauli
On the 7th and 8th of July 2017 the representatives of the twenty most
important industrial and emerging countries meet for the summit of the
G20. This time Germany is the host and wants to shape a globalization to
the alleged advantage of everybody. As well on the agenda appears the
promotion of women*. This suggests that the G20 have an interest to
abolish patriarchal means of oppression.
But this is not the case. At the summit agreements are made that serve
solely to enforce interests of power and to solidify dominion.
The global conditions are characterized by different terms of
exploitation and suppression, e.g. capitalism, patriarchy,
neocolonialism, racism, … At the same time these don´t just stand side
by side, but depend on and strengthen each other. Discrimination and
suppression of FLTI* (women, lesbians, trans and intersex-persons) is no
exception but an consistent instrument of dominion. Because the G20 want
to maintain these conditions they also stand for the structural
discrimination of flti*.
We want a really gender-liberated society, where a just distribution
of goods, respect for all living creatures and for nature and a loving
contact with each other are self-evident.
For us feminism is an existential part of the fight against the
established conditions, therefore it cannot be separated from
anti-capitalist or anti-racist fights. To make feminist and
anti-patriarchal fights against the G20 visible, we want to organise
ourselves.
We invite all flti* to our fifth meeting to develop feminist
perspectives against G20 together and to organise a huge, colourful
queer-feminist protest!
