The magazine invites you to browse through rebellious stories, exchange ideas and discuss with each other
The space is a self-organised meeting place for anyone interested in anti-authoritarian ideas. And for anyone looking for access to knowledge and history that is critical of the existing social order.
We see the writing, distribution and reading of texts – be they theoretical essays, stories or experience reports – as an important part of resistance practice. Our selection of books and brochures includes historical and current content, but is by no means complete or conclusive. In this sense, we want to broaden our perspectives, strengthen analyses and make them accessible through texts and discussions.
In addition to the library service, brochures, zines and flyers are available to borrow and take with you. Or you can drop by for a chat with us. From time to time we organise information and discussion events, as well as readings and film evenings. We are always open to suggestions. You can also find material from us to write letters to prisoners. Our address can also be used for this purpose, and letters received can be collected during opening hours.
We see ourselves as part of the fight against gentrification and displacement in the neighbourhood. Together with the collectively run neighbourhood pub Capri Bar, which is right next door, we form a place beyond the obligation to consume and the logic of profit. We want to create physical moments of community to counter the increasing shift of social life into the isolation of digital space. Let’s fill the magazine with life together!
Opening hours: Montag 16-21h & Freitag 16-20h
Messenger Event Organisation Basel
Once in the 90's a few messengers sat together and decided to start an organisation, that supports messenger events. At the beginning the focus was on alleycats, later also messenger championships and bike polo turnaments were organised. Some evenings and Pfefferracketen later, the statutes were created and adapted with the elaborate process of "copy-paste". MEO was born.
You search for financial support for your alleycat or for insider contacts? Or you want to get involved in the messenger scene of Basel? Reach out to MEO – or just the next messenger you know
In solidarity with refugee women & genderqueer people
INAYA is a Basel-based structure for refugee women and genderqueer people. It wants to show solidarity directly. One priority is a redistribution of needed money from those who have enough to those whom have too little. In this way, basic needs are to be covered securely and in the long term. For refugee women and genderqueer people, existing support structures are non-existent or difficult to access. That is why INAYA!

At Wortstellwerk public writing workshops, projects and events are realised by and for young writers. In addition, workshops for school classes are organised according to individual wishes.
Creative writing, reading and text performance should be accessible for everyone who's interested. Therefore we create and/or host workshops and events ourselves and develop new formats.
We are organised as an association and meet once a month for a members' meeting. In this meeting new members can join, projects and actions are discussed and designed, projects are presented and there is a free exchange of ideas.
Opening hours: je nach Event
The internet is not only about the sharing ideas and information. It's about decentralizing power. That's why nearly every government and corporation on the planet is against net neutrality. - And why we must fight for it!
Under the name of wolke7 we're providing a local, encrypted and independent cloud service for storing and sharing data with other people.
A tiny team of volunteers maintains ther servers, the website and everything besides that. We are interessed in managing data in a propper way and being a part of a complex challange for our society.
The project is based on open source software of nextcloud and runs on our own servers.

Based on our own experiences as people being displaced in Basel, we deal with the "right to the city" both in terms of content and actively on the street. The "right to the city" group meets regularly, discusses, publishes and plans actions. We are open for interested people =)

Getting wind of "urban development"? It's the wrecking ball.
The history of the displacement in Basel is long and it continues. The wrecking ball is cutting deep aisles into our city, through which the cold wind of displacement is blowing.
Who wants that?
Try to explain to a child why it is fair that an investor who has never walked through a house, never lived there and never worked there can now decide that those who have invested a lot of time, attention and energy in this place must be removed:
Because the world is unjust?
Because it is capitalist?
Because we subordinate ourselves to the market?
No.
Our city is not for sale.
People in this City have the right to help shape the urban space, regardless of the origin or size of their wallet. We fight, together and for all.

The self-organized herbal pharmacy EPPA wants to create a place where people can share health-specific knowledge and find herbal medicine.
EPPA offers an alternative for all those who, like us, would like to become less dependent on conventional medicine and the pharmaceutical companies. In dealing with health, we want to give each other the tools to take care of ourselves.
Concretely, there is this space to share knowledge on medicinal plants and medical topics, to get advice and to pick up tea herbs, tinctures or ointments.
Opening hours: jeden ersten Samstag im Monat (14-17:00)
UFO MINK meets every month in Basel. The main goal of the group is to support people who accompany others in crises and to reflect and work out collective ways of dealing with crises. We always take the time to exchange information about our condition in general and especially about our own support structures and situations.
UFO MINK emerged from the workshop series "Good for nothing" in Basel in autumn 2018. The series revolved around depressive experiences in resistant everyday life and tried to develop a collective approach to individual crises. Following this series of events, this group was founded to support support supporters and to promote collective approaches to dealing with crises. UFO MINK meets every month in Basel. The main purpose of the group is to support people who accompany others in crises and to reflect on and develop collective ways of dealing with crises. We always take the time to exchange information about our condition in general and our own support structures and situations in particular.
The first project of UFO MINK was the brochure "Für Unterstützende von Menschen in Krisen", which was published in December 2019 and can be found under the following link

P.S.
We use underlines to include all people, regardless of gender identity, in the language. In addition, we use the apostrophe to indicate that the category woman or man is socially constructed. Since a reader reads the apostrophe as a short pause, we prefer this instead of the star.
Collective Climate Justice (vormals Climate Games Basel) ist eine Gruppe von engagierten Menschen verschiedener Hintergründe. Aus unserer Sicht sind Regierungen und profitorientierte Unternehmen nicht gewillt und nicht fähig die Klimakatastrophe und die massenhafte Umweltzerstörung zu stoppen. Es ist deshalb notwendig und wichtig selbst aktiv zu werden und zu einer Bewegung beizutragen, welche bestimmt für globale Klimagerechtigkeit kämpft.
Im Rahmen unserer letzten Aktionstage im Sommer 2019 wurden mit dem Hauptsitz der Credit Suisse am Zürcher Paradeplatz und dem Hauptsitz der UBS in der Aeschenvorstadt in Basel zwei wichtige Standorte des Schweizer Finanzplatzes blockiert. Hunderte Menschen blockierten mit ihren Körpern die Zugänge zu den Hauptsitzen der beiden Grossbanken und zeigen, was sie wollen: den Investoren der Klimakatastrophe, namentlich Credit Suisse und UBS, den Geldhahn zudrehen! Credit Suisse und UBS sind die Hauptverantwortlichen des Schweizer Finanzplatzes für die weltweite Klimakatastrophe. Zwar wird hier kein Öl gefördert und keine Kohle verbrannt, aber von hier aus werden derartige Projekte finanziert und dadurch erst möglich gemacht.
Über neue Menschen die mit uns die Welt verändern wollen, freuen wir uns immer!
