Sterke actie tegen verplichte keukentafelgesprekken voor uitkeringsgerechtigden

Ruim dertig mensen, de meesten baanloos en uitkeringsgerechtigd, deden op maandag 29 juni in Groningen mee aan de bijeenkomst "Baas aan eigen keukentafel". Die werd georganiseerd door het actiecomité DwangArbeid Nee Groningen (DANG), waar ook Doorbraak aan deelneemt. Net als de twee voorgaande bijeenkomsten van DANG, "Participatiewet? Onze tegenprestatie is verzet!" en "Bijstandsgerechtigden: individuele straf en collectief verzet", was ook deze weer een inspirerend succes. Centraal stonden deze keer de "keukentafelgesprekken" en het maken van een zwartboek als strijdmiddel tegen het bijstandsregime. Er werd afgesloten met een actie tegen die gesprekken bij het gemeentehuis op het Waagplein.

Sprekers tegen Zwarte Piet zetten witte hotemetoten in hun hemd tijdens slavernijherdenking

Het officiële deel van het programma van de nationale slavernijherdenking, dat jaarlijks op 1 juli wordt georganiseerd door slavernij-instituut NINSEE, verliep vorige week woensdag heel wat strijdbaarder en inspirerender dan we sinds de oprichting in 2002 van het slavernijmonument in het Amsterdamse Oosterpark zijn gewend. Dit jaar maakten flink wat vertegenwoordigers van een nieuwe generatie nazaten van tot slaaf gemaakten deel uit van dat programma. Tijdens het aansluitende Keti koti-festival deden meer dan zevenhonderd mensen aangifte tegen het Zwarte Piet-racisme. En actiegroep De Grauwe Koets, waar ook Doorbraak aan deelneemt, deelde flyers en stickers uit tegen de koloniale propaganda die staat afgebeeld op de Gouden Koets van het koningshuis.

Column: Beroepsactivisme, helemaal zo gek nog niet

"Beroepsactivisten". Het is een woord dat we de laatste tijd regelmatig in de kranten tegenkomen. Steeds vaker laten zij van zichzelf horen op demonstraties en protestacties. Ze bestaan in allerlei categorieën en varianten: van Maagdenhuisbezetters en "klimaatgekkies" tot koningshuisbeledigers en zogenoemde "zeurpieten'. Maar wat is dat "beroepsactivisme" eigenlijk?

Anti-racistische actiegroep van ouders eist Sinterklaasjournaal zonder Zwarte Piet

Onlangs heeft No To Racism per brief aan de redactie van de publieke omroep NTR en van het Sinterklaasjournaal geëist dat die redacties zich expliciet uitspreken tegen het Zwarte Piet-racisme en daar ook naar gaan handelen. Naar eigen zeggen is No To Racism "een bont collectief van ouders die hun kinderen willen beschermen tegen institutioneel racisme". De groep strijdt daarom "voor een Zwarte Piet-vrij Sinterklaasfeest waar alle kinderen van Nederland plezier aan kunnen beleven". Hieronder de vrijwel volledige tekst van de brief (de linken in de brief zijn van No To Racism, de tussenkoppen van Doorbraak).

Woede over Haagse politierazzia tegen migranten zonder papieren

"Waar ben je mee bezig, politie? Waarom behandel je mensen zonder papieren zo onmenselijk?" Dat vraagt de Indonesian Migrant Workers Union (IMWU) zich af, nadat de politie gisteren om 6:00 uur 's morgens in Den Haag een razzia hield waarbij 29 migranten thuis werden opgepakt. Mensenjacht anno 2015. Lees verder: http://www.doorbraak.eu/woede-over-haagse-politierazzia-tegen-migranten-zonder-papieren/

Leiden en het bed, het bad en het brood

In Leiden is op gemeentelijk niveau afgesproken dat mensen zonder verblijfsrecht opvang dienen te krijgen. Deze bed-, bad- en broodafspraak staat weliswaar op papier, maar de uitvoering laat veel te wensen over. Een aantal vluchtelingen en migranten wacht nog steeds op onderdak, eten en geld. Dat is in strijd met de al in november 2014 aangenomen en breed gesteunde gemeenteraadsmotie om "ongedocumenteerden een menswaardige opvang te bieden". En het is in tegenspraak met de reclamepraatjes van burgemeester Henri Lenferink, die voor de gelegenheid het aloude "Leiden, stad van vluchtelingen"-imago onder het stof vandaan heeft geblazen.

Groningse inspraakreactie: "Stop de keukentafelgesprekken!"

Woensdag sprak Tanja Willems namens DwangArbeid Nee Groningen (DANG), waarin ook Doorbraak deelneemt, in bij een vergadering van de raadscommissie Werk en Inkomen. Er werd volop geprutteld en gekibbeld over de Participatiewet en de keukentafelgesprekken, en het bleef volstrekt onduidelijk wat Groningse uitkeringsgerechtigden nu precies te wachten staat. Hier de video en daaronder de integrale tekst van de inspraakreactie. Lees verder: http://www.doorbraak.eu/groningse-inspraak-reactie-stop-de-keukentafelgesprekken/

Zijn ze eigenlijk nog wel bang genoeg?

Torens, kantelen en een slotgracht. Dat is, zo wordt de hedendaagse kasteelbezoeker verteld, hoe een 'heer' zich vroeger beschermde tegen rivaliserende edellieden. Helemaal correct is dat verhaal natuurlijk niet: de feodale adel had doorgaans meer te vrezen van de eigen horigen dan van hun klassegenoten. Menig kasteelheer vond dan ook zijn einde aan de riek van een rebellerende boer – alle fortificaties en repressieve terreur ten spijt. Net zomin klopt dus de mythe van "de mondige burger", die pas in het moderne tijdperk van de liberale democratie zijn intrede deed. De geschiedenisboekjes leren ons dat contestatie en verzet vooral moderne fenomenen zijn, maar voor wie beter kijkt is de menselijke geschiedenis doorspekt met verhalen van slavenopstand, revolutie, onteigening en sabotage.

In English

Film "Do not despair" shows strength and resistance of Indonesian migrants
On March 20 the Indonesian Migrant Workers Union (IMWU) for the first time showed the impressive documentary "Dispereert Niet" ("Do not despair") about Indonesian migrant workers without a residence permit in the Netherlands. The film illustrates how difficult life in illegality is but it does not portray the migrants as "sad cases". On the contrary, film maker Irwan Ahmett clearly presents the migrants as self-confident people who have had to make difficult choices to provide for themselves and for their family, and who are able to support each other through self-organisation in IMWU. "Dispereert niet" or "Do not give up" is a film about hope and struggle. Read more: http://www.doorbraak.eu/film-do-not-despair-shows-strength-and-resistance-of-indonesian-migrants/

Greece said No! -- Urgent Next Steps

WOW!  Nearly 500,000 of us stood with Greece, the Greek people voted NO!  Now it's up to Merkel -- click here and send her our new inspiring image to lift the Austerity curse: This week, Greece could be forced to accept grinding and failed austerity policies, or be forced to exit the Euro -- causing chaos. Or we could help create the biggest people-powered push for social democracy ever, get Merkel and others to give up their austerity crusade, and allow Greece's economy space to recover. The Chancellor is hugely influenced by public opinion. Let's create a massive European call for people before banks -- and plaster our voices all over the media. Join now: Sign now Dear friends across Europe, This week, Greece could be forced to accept grinding and failed austerity policies, or be made to exit the Euro -- causing chaos across Europe. Or we could help create the biggest people-powered push for social democracy ever, and pull this crisis back from the brink! Let's be clear, behind all the debate and jargon there are only two things we really need to know: 1) the most vulnerable Greek people have borne the brunt of brutal public spending cuts -- 4 in 10 kids live in poverty, infant mortality rate has increased by 43%, and youth unemployment has nearly hit 50%! And 2) it's been for nothing -- the debt problem has got worse, not better. So more of the same will mean, well, more of the same -- more pain and more debt. Yet Chancellor Merkel and the creditors keep flogging this irresponsible policy, and claim that is what the public wants.  This week, Prime Minister Tsipras has courageously turned to democracy, and called on his country to say "No". 70% of Greek Avaaz members say they will vote "No". Now if enough of us stand with them, we can show our leaders that the public wants to stop inflicting harm and move instead to debt reduction. Sign now -- when enough of us have joined, Avaaz will cover the media with our call: https://secure.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_greece_loc_eu/?bwQkDab&v=61558 Chancellor Merkel listens to what the people say, and has been known to change course when the moment demanded it -- after the Fukushima nuclear crisis, and massive public protests against nuclear energy in Germany, she agreed to switch off Germany's nuclear power plants. Yes, political corruption, misgovernance and reckless borrowing by previous governments are ingredients of the cocktail that has brought Greece's economy to its knees. But while 90% of the bailout funds have gone to foreign banks, the Greeks have complied with austerity, privatised and deregulated, cut pensions and salaries, and raised taxes. But, as many predicted, it hasn't helped the debt problem. And the misery is hitting the poorest -- rich Greeks have pulled a lot of their money out already. This acrimonious standoff doesn't need to be taken to a Greek referendum between two tough choices. A wide spectrum of economists, and powerful world leaders agree on the answer for Greece: a debt conference to restructure and reduce Greek debt, giving the economy breathing room to recover and gradually pay off the rest of its debt over time. We have a tiny window of opportunity this week to show Merkel and other key leaders that the world supports a "No" to these failed policies. Join now --  let's be the impetus for a critical transformation to put people before banks: https://secure.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_greece_loc_eu/?bwQkDab&v=61558 Turning a crisis into an opportunity is what a community of our size and power does best. This could be a historic disaster, but if enough of us speak out, we could persuade Merkel to change course, and be European social democracy in action. Today, it's up to all of us to stand up for a humane, people-centred economic system, and it can start in Greece.

A more detailed description of workshops of the first module:

Ad 1: "Taste of Tantra" - Introduction to practise



In this introductory workshop we give small examples of simple safe exercises which you can continue practising later with your partner or on your own. Anyone following the instructions from this introduction may rapidly and dramatically improve her/his life. We let you have a taste of what tantra is, and what we teach as a whole course at the School of Tantra Movement.
 A little bit of everything:

- Theory; what tantra means to us and our practical use of it

- sexual meditation

- recognising and training the PC muscle

- open communication

- recognising your Inner Man and Inner Woman

- Awakening the senses meditation

- Breathing together in Shiva Shakti position

Ad 2: Expanding Consciousness.




We invite you to create space for expanding consciousness.

You will discover:

What consciousness is, and how to get ready to open yourself for full consciousness.
How to dissolve blockages in a conscious way and open yourself to a flow of love energy.
How in daily life we can develop and cultivate our inner consciousness.

Expanding consciousness is one of the main purposes of tantra. In this workshop we are going to awake, discover, explore and expand consciousness of here and now, consciousness of female and male energy, consciousness of the witness, consciousness of energy... This workshop may open your eyes, heart and mind in a way that you will never be the same again.

Ad 3: Love Yourself!

Loving ourselves is the foundation of real love, when we love ourselves we can truly love others. When we feel good about our self we will have the self-esteem needed to act in love towards another being. To truly love ourselves may increase the chance of amplifying the love shared
with our partners, family, animals, nature, the planet and the universe.

It has nothing to do with selfishness but rather with expanding love in a healthy way...

 Ad 4: Sacred energy. - worshipping your holy body, recognising your wild soul




Together we create at the workshops a safe space in which we can experience transformational processes. Remember, however, that real change happens outside the comfort zone. We work in a group, in pairs and individually. This day we will focus on the flow of energy through the body, how we experience it and how to inspire and cultivate that.

What is blocking us and how can we be consciously permeable to those blocking energies?

The tantric path opens us to experience our own, our partner's and group's deep energy levels. With thankful Tantric and sexual Tao techniques, we become aware of subtle energies which link the apparent opposites: spirit and matter, sexuality and spirituality, light and darkness, consciousness and unconscious, masculinity and femininity.

By using the keys to the door of connections, to regain our inner strength, we are giving right direction to the flow of energy.

Ad 5: Male and Female energy




Nowadays not so many people are aware that within each of us exists male and female energy. It doesn't matter what sex we are, the balance of those energies determines our health, our contentment, our happiness and fulfilment in our relationships.
 In this workshop we meet the inner woman and man within us, and recognise their energies. We will hear from them how is to live with us, what are their needs, their concerns. How we can improve their (our) life...


We will get to know the differences between male and female bodies and learn how to approach them in a way that allows beautiful sexual energy of love to flow freely, not be forced or imposed on someone or be blocked by some wrong behaviour.

Ad 6: Sharing about the course

Ad 7: Dance with Tantra

Like all my invitations, you may already learn and experience something very useful from them. But only when you read it with your heart and follow with your body... only when you use it, not lose it :)

There are a few passions in my life. One of course is tantra, so being love, making love, giving and receiving love. The other passion is dancing, which is very connected to tantra. Like making love, massage (my other passion ) and dancing are best if I let my mind go. This is not a time for thinking; it is time for feeling. To fall into dance, to follow the sound or even become a sound, to unite with the music. Being tuned like an instrument, fully harmonised with the music. Here and now. Letting go all your thoughts. When we are able to be in that state there is more space for our heart, for our body. Then it is easier to make the connection. Deepening into ourselves... into others.

This is my journey that I would like to share at this workshop with you.
To get more connected we will use some tantric methods like shaking off stress, dancing with blindfolds, different music and movements activating different glands, hormones and different chakras. We will use various touches and approaches. We will awake ecstatic dance in you :)

Meer gedetailleerde beschrijving kun je hieronder lezen:

Ad 1: "Taste of Tantra" - Introductie tot de praktijk

In deze introductieworkshop geven we kleine voorbeelden van eenvoudige, veilige oefeningen die je later kunt blijven beoefenen met jouw partner of in je eentje. Iedereen die de instructies van deze introductie volgt kan snel en dramatisch haar/zijn leven verbeteren. We laten je proeven wat tantra is, en wat we onderwijzen als een gehele cursus bij de School of Tantra Movement. Een beetje van alles:

- Theorie; wat tantra voor ons betekent en ons praktische gebruik ervan
- Seksuele meditatie     
- Herkennen en trainen van de bekkenbodemspier
- Open communicatie
- Herkennen van jouw Innerlijke Man en Innerlijke Vrouw
- De zintuigen ontwaken
- Samen ademhalen in Shiva Shakti positie

Ad 2: Verruiming van Bewustzijn 

We nodigen je uit om de ruimte te creeren om bewustzijn te verruimen. Je zult ontdekken:

Wat bewustzijn is? Hoe ervoor klaar te zijn om je te openen voor volledig bewustzijn ? Hoe op bewuste wijze de blokkades op te lossen en jezelf te openen voor de stroom van de energie van Liefde? Hoe we in het dagelijkse leven ons innerlijke bewustzijn kunnen ontwikkelen en cultiveren ?

Het verruimen van bewustzijn is een van de hoofddoelen van tantra. In deze workshop gaan we het bewustzijn van het ?Hier en Nu? ontwaken, ontdekken, verkennen en verruimen.

Bewustzijn van vrouwelijke zowel als mannelijke energie, bewustzijn van de getuige (observator), bewustzijn en energie.

Deze workshop kan je ogen, hart en geest openen op een manier waarbij je nooit meer hetzelfde bent.

In deze workshop zouden we uit de volgende oefeningen kunnen kiezen:

1. Kundalini OSHO dynamische meditatie, gevolgd door een geleidde ontspanning (korte versie)
2. De handen te openen door de intelligentie van het lichaam
3. Handen te voelen
4. Het reinigen van Auras
5. Golf massage
6. Het herkennen van de innerlijke man en innerlijke vrouw meditatie
7. Ademen - langzaam en sterk
8. Uitbalanceren van energien in de lepel positie

Ad 3: Van jezelf houden. Herken je innerlijke geliefde.

Liefde hebben voor onszelf is de basis van echte liefde, wanneer we van onszelf houden, kunnen we pas echt van anderen houden. Wanneer we ons goed voelen over onszelf, zullen we het zelfvertrouwen hebben dat nodig is om in liefde naar anderen te handelen.
Om echt van onszelf te houden zal de liefde vergroten met onze partners, familie, dieren, natuur, de planeet en het hele universum.
Het heeft niets te maken met egoïsme, maar juist met de expansie van liefde op een gezonde manier.

Ad 4: Heilige energie. - Het aanbidden van je hele lichaam, je wilde ziel herkennen.

Samen creëren we een veilige ruimte en samen ervaren we transformatie processen. onthoud wel dat de echte verandering buiten je comfort zone ligt. We werken in de groep, in paren en individueel. Op deze dag gaan we focussen op de energie flow die door het lichaam stroomt, hoe we die ervaren en hoe we die kunnen inspireren en cultiveren. Wat blokkeert ons en hoe kunnen we die blokkades bewust doordringen?  
Het Tantrische pad opent ons om onze eigen, onze partners en de diepe energie levels van de groep te ervaren.
Dankbare Tantrische en seksuele Tao technieken, we worden ons bewust van de subtiele energieën die ons verbinden met het schijnbare tegenovergestelde: geest en materie, seksualiteit en spiritualiteit, licht en donker, bewust en onbewust, mannelijk en vrouwelijk.
Door de sleutels naar de deuren van verbindingen te gebruiken, krijgen wij onze innerlijke kracht terug, en geven we richting aan de flow van onze energie.   

Ad 5: Mannelijke en vrouwelijke energie

Tegenwoordig zijn niet zo veel mensen zich ervan bewust dat er mannelijke en vrouwelijke energie in ons bestaat. Het maakt niet uit van welk geslacht we zijn, van evenwicht tussen deze energieën hangt onze gezondheid, onze tevredenheid, ons geluk en vervulling in onze relaties af.

Tijdens deze workshop zullen we onze innerlijke vrouw en man in ons ontmoeten. We zullen hun energieën herkennen. We zullen van hen horen hoe het is om in ons te leven, wat hun behoeften zijn, welke zorgen er zijn. Hoe kunnen we hun (ons) leven verbeteren…

Daarnaast zullen we de verschillen tussen mannelijke en vrouwelijke lichamen leren kennen. We zullen leren hoe ze te benaderen op de manier dat mooie seksuele energie van liefde vrij zal stromen, niet geforceerd of opgedrongen zal worden aan iemand en niet geblokkeerd zal zijn door verkeerd gedrag.

Ad 6: Sharing of the whole course

Ad 7: Dans met Tantra

Zoals van al mijn uitnodigingen, kun je alvast iets heel nuttigs ervan leren en ervaren. Maar alleen wanneer je het ook met je hart leest en met je lichaam volgt… alleen wanneer je het gebruikt, niet verliest :)

Er zijn enkele passies in mijn leven. Eén daarvan is natuurlijk tantra, dus liefde zijn, liefde bedrijven, liefde geven en ontvangen. De andere passie is dansen, wat zeer verbonden is met tantra. Net zoals bij liefde bedrijven, massage (mijn andere passie) en dansen is het beste om mijn geest te laten gaan. Dit is geen tijd voor denken. Het is tijd voor voelen. Om in dans te vallen, het geluid te volgen of zelfs een geluid te worden, te verenigen met de muziek. Gestemd zijn als een instrument volledig geharmoniseerd met de muziek. Hier en nu. Al je gedachten laten gaan. Wanneer we in staat zijn om in die toestand te zijn is er meer ruimte voor ons hart, voor ons lichaam. Dan is de verbinding makkelijker. Verdieping in onszelf… in de anderen.

Dit is mijn reis die ik met jullie wil delen in deze workshop. Om meer verbonden te raken zullen we sommige tantrische methoden gebruiken zoals het afschudden van de stress, dansen met blinddoeken om, verschillende muziek en bewegingen die verschillende klieren, hormonen en chakras activeren. We zullen verscheidene aanrakingen en benaderingen gebruiken. We zullen ecstatische dans in jou ontwaken :)

Stand with Greece - SIGN PETITION

This week, Greece could be forced to accept grinding and failed austerity policies, or be forced to exit the Euro -- causing chaos. Or we could help create the biggest people-powered push for social democracy ever, get Merkel and others to give up their austerity crusade, and allow Greece's economy space to recover. The Chancellor is hugely influenced by public opinion. Let's create a massive European call for people before banks -- and plaster our voices all over the media. Join now: Sign now Dear friends across Europe, This week, Greece could be forced to accept grinding and failed austerity policies, or be made to exit the Euro -- causing chaos across Europe. Or we could help create the biggest people-powered push for social democracy ever, and pull this crisis back from the brink! Let's be clear, behind all the debate and jargon there are only two things we really need to know: 1) the most vulnerable Greek people have borne the brunt of brutal public spending cuts -- 4 in 10 kids live in poverty, infant mortality rate has increased by 43%, and youth unemployment has nearly hit 50%! And 2) it's been for nothing -- the debt problem has got worse, not better. So more of the same will mean, well, more of the same -- more pain and more debt. Yet Chancellor Merkel and the creditors keep flogging this irresponsible policy, and claim that is what the public wants.  This week, Prime Minister Tsipras has courageously turned to democracy, and called on his country to say "No". 70% of Greek Avaaz members say they will vote "No". Now if enough of us stand with them, we can show our leaders that the public wants to stop inflicting harm and move instead to debt reduction. Sign now -- when enough of us have joined, Avaaz will cover the media with our call: https://secure.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_greece_loc_eu/?bwQkDab&v=61419 Chancellor Merkel listens to what the people say, and has been known to change course when the moment demanded it -- after the Fukushima nuclear crisis, and massive public protests against nuclear energy in Germany, she agreed to switch off Germany's nuclear power plants. Yes, political corruption, misgovernance and reckless borrowing by previous governments are ingredients of the cocktail that has brought Greece's economy to its knees. But while 90% of the bailout funds have gone to foreign banks, the Greeks have complied with austerity, privatised and deregulated, cut pensions and salaries, and raised taxes. But, as many predicted, it hasn't helped the debt problem. And the misery is hitting the poorest -- rich Greeks have pulled a lot of their money out already. This acrimonious standoff doesn't need to be taken to a Greek referendum between two tough choices. A wide spectrum of economists, and powerful world leaders agree on the answer for Greece: a debt conference to restructure and reduce Greek debt, giving the economy breathing room to recover and gradually pay off the rest of its debt over time. We have a tiny window of opportunity this week to show Merkel and other key leaders that the world supports a "No" to these failed policies. Join now --  let's be the impetus for a critical transformation to put people before banks: https://secure.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_greece_loc_eu/?bwQkDab&v=61419 Turning a crisis into an opportunity is what a community of our size and power does best. This could be a historic disaster, but if enough of us speak out, we could persuade Merkel to change course, and be European social democracy in action. Today, it's up to all of us to stand up for a humane, people-centred economic system, and it can start in Greece.

Heat wave in the westpoort Amsterdam, ADM outreach project!! zibabu, bucket boyz, ADM in juli

Hellloh sweet people on this hopefully not to annoying maillinglist.

There's lots happening all of a sudden. Seems like when it's to chill out people decide to start organizing lots of things. We can miss out on that. First of all the ADM is under threat of eviction. The owner finally after 18 years decides that he/it want's to do something with our home/livelihood/oasis. We won;'t let this happen so we're planning different ways of keeping our little squatted village ours. One way you can help is by signing our petition.
