to our friends

we have heard from some supporters that there were problems with wise and the transfer to our bank account.
in one case wise justified it with the sanctions against russia – the bank to which the account belongs is located in donetsk. did wise already accept the russian annexation?
in any case, we are currently checking what we can do about it. in the meantime we recommend another donation account for bank transfer, crypto is still working. all those who have transferred something and whose money has not yet arrived: please check whether it has worked, complain if not and otherwise simply send the money again to the account of abc dresden.

we have already received the first deliveries of aid, as we reported on our telegram channel. here is a small insight.

in russia there is a call to take to the streets tomorrow – against putin and against the war. a good time to take to the streets worldwide against the invasion, against the dictatorship and for freedom!

in the meantime there are a lot of big organized help offers for people who are fleeing from ukraine. we took a look at some of them:

https://warhelp.eu/
–> humanitarian but seems really okay; offers of accomodation/transport/help with administative shit/translation in GER/POL/SLO/CZ/HUN/SZ/AUS
–> uses google-form as base

https://www.unterkunft-ukraine.de/
–> humanitarian, kinda professional, ok

https://wunderflats.com/page/ukraine/landlords-who-help-en
–> commercial. if people want to rent a furnished flat at lower cost, it might be okay, but it is commercial hipster start-up

further flixbus is offering free transport from the polish borders – and is not depending on your citizienship.

anarchists and antifascists on the run who want to stay with comrades are very welcome to contact us directly. but we also help everyone else where we can.

solidarity will win

to our friends,

the situation with our structures on the ground is complicated. we cannot report on it in detail for security reasons. but we are working hard to maintain and expand our structures under difficult conditions.

our blog is now also regularly mirrored in french.

there is also a new site that tries to counter the russian propaganda with analsis. let’s see how it develops, feel free to check it out.

in germany, soli-shirts were printed for us. on the one hand, the proceeds go into our structures and on the other hand, we hope that the wearers will be able to talk to people and distribute counter-information directly.

ukainians looking for a place to stay in germany could check out this page.

solidarity will win

to our friends,

we are currently establishing stronger and stronger networks and thanks to your solidarity we can move a lot!
please send us pictures and reports of your solidarity actions worldwide, we want to publish them as a gallery in the next days.

at the borders to poland there is more and more racism towards bipoc on the polish side – we have collected some useful links and coverage.

to keep up to date with activities of polish no border activists we recommend the channel of No Borders Team here

german-speaking comrades can now find our blog mirrored in german at anarchistisch.ch.

We are aware of the extra difficult situation of BIPoC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) trying to leave the Ukraine. They are confronted with a racist border policy and also with fascists from Poland. Some of our supporters already got involved in practical anti-racist solidarity. Here comes a collection of sources and coverage which might be useful for you.

Solidarity structures & self-organization

There are info- and support websites for BIPoC. they link to telegram groups that spread updates and give a platform for self organization.

There are BIPoC volunteer structures supporting at neighbouring countries [you can donate here]

Coverage

• 200 BIPoC collectively protested and finally successfully pushed through the ukranian-polish border after 2 days. The guards tried to stop them and tried to block the way with vehicels but they were stronger. (Sources: 1 / 2)
  Alexander Somto Orah participated in and filmed the break-through, the video got viral. he afterwards gave some interviews about the situation of BIPoC at the borders.

• Fascists in Poland are now chasing BIPoC who fled from Ukraine (Source 1 / 2). This are some of them.
• there is reports of broken bones of BIPoC by polish border guards

• also BIPoC were threatened be shot as can be seen by a video posted by Michael Morgan

• BIPoC are kicked out of trains or prohibited to get on them (also you can see this in this video gone viral)

• According to Vukile Dlamini, a medical student who is volunteering in these structures, two BIPoC died of cold while they had to wait on the border at 2 degrees for 2 days

Sources:

• Activist who tweets & retweets a lot of personal reports about reports of racism at the borders!

• Dr. Awofaa, a doctor who is doing medical emergency response at the Ukranian-Polish Border after he himself had to flee Ukrania tweets about the racism that BIPoC are facing at the borders. He is still searching for medical volunteers.

to our friends,

there are more reports of putin using prohibited weapons. we urge you to spread these reports as widely as possible.

we ourselves are currently very busy sorting and structuring ourselves on the ground in ukraine. our people in europe are very busy coordinating and collecting all the offers of solidarity. therefore there is not much content from us here at the moment.

whoever has useful information about support possibilities at the borders: feel free to send it to us as well. we always try to create direct connections between all of you – mutual aid!

there is a great willingness to go to the border. that’s great, however, mindless driving there is not helpful – here’s a recent post from #leavenoonebehind. if you want to help individually at the border, contact them in advance.

enjoyers who need a ride from warsaw – we’ll have one for you tomorrow. get in touch.

we also updated our how to help page today! check it out.

this war is also a war for information. so please share our page and anarchist analyses (for example you can find them on crimethinc.com). we also got a new sharepic. in the next days we want to collect all the graphics, it’s just not high on our priority list right now.

by the way, this telegram channel here also reports in daily updates.
