For some time now several experts predict the financial system is about to break down. This summer it looked as if collapse was imminent, but with the help of emergency measures the financial markets appear to have been stabilized. At the moment the situation is unclear. Have we only seen the tip of the iceberg, or have we seen the worst of the crisis now?

This evening is dedicated to what is still a very unpopular topic in the West: the history of racism and the genocides that accompany it. We will show two parts of the widely acclaimed BBC documentary Racism: A History (2007; 120 minutes).

In November this year hundreds of cleaners in the Netherlands will stand up to improve their working and living conditions. Cleaners will be fighting for a living wage, respect, more working hours towards full time, and the right to organize without repression or intimidation.

How do we reach the right people to organise mass action against injustice at the local and national level? This question arose when the racist police raids in de Bijlmer on 16 June this year resulted in the Campaign to Stop Police Raids (see www.allincluded.nl) but did not trigger mass protest and outrage about this and other police actions.

How was it possible that the biggest elite university of the US became the centre of student protests? The documentary 'Berkeley in the Sixties' (1990, 117 min.) tells the story of students who no longer did what was expected from them, Vietnam, feminist resistance, the weapons of the Black panthers, governor Ronald Reagan and finally the US army and a lot of teargas.

The EU violently “manages” migration at the global level by way of visa regimes, detention centres in and outside the EU, and military patrols at borders, resulting in thousands of migrants dying each year in and around the EU. Already in the 1980s, the left movement has analysed this development as an intrinsic part of “imperialism” and directly attacked the persons and institutions upholding this regime.

The computer is becoming increasingly important in our daily lives. Almost every action is organised by searching the internet for information, writing press releases and other texts on computers and to e-mail with fellow activists and the press. It’s often very useful, but sometimes dangerous.
