Critical Mass is a monthly mass bicycle ride that takes place on the last Friday of each month in cities around the world. It was started here in San Francisco in 1992 by cyclists and activists who wanted to increase the visibility of bicyclists and reclaim public space by making social use of the streets on a regular basis.
Die erste Critical Mass hat sich in San Fransisco im Jahr 1992 gebildet. Die Idee hat sich schnell auf der ganzen Welt verbreitet. Heute gibt es in über 300 Städten weltweit eine monatliche Critical Mass.
Die Critical Mass hat keinen Organisator. Wenn am vereinbarten Treffpunkt die kritische Masse erreicht ist, fährt die Masse los. Es ist keine Route vorbestimmt. Wer zuvorderst fährt, bestimmt die Richtung.
Wer sich mit seinem Fahrrad in den Verkehr begibt, setzt sich täglich grossen Gefahren aus und wird als minderwärtiger Verkehrsteilnehmer marginalisiert. Finden sich jedoch hunderte von Velofahrer*innen, um gemeinsam eine Rundfahrt zu machen, so können sie dem motorisierten Verkehr auf Augenhöhe begegnen.
Die Critical Mass blockiert die Strasse nicht absichtlich. Durch die hohe Anzahl Teilnehmer*innen entsteht kurzfristig ein Stau. Im Gegensatz zum motorisierten Verkehr, der tagtäglich unsere Strassen versperrt, handelt es sich hierbei um einen Stau ohne jegliche Umweltverschmutzung. Zudem erlaubt dieser Stau eine soziale Interaktion zwischen den Verkehrsteilnehmer*innen, da sie sich nicht durch eine Karosserie isoliert sind.
Wo die Critical Mass auftaucht, erfahren die Autofahrenden, was den Velofahrenden täglich widerfährt: Das Auto wird zum machtlosen Gefährt, das sich den anderen Verkehrsteilnehmer*innen (hier Velos) unterordnen muss.
Während der Critical Mass wird der öffentliche Raum vorübergehend zurückerobert und wird zum Ort des sozialen Austauschs. Dadurch wird der Gesellschaft gezeigt, dass es sinnvollere Verkehrsmöglichkeiten gibt als den motorisierten Individualverkehr.
Die Critical Mass ist eine friedliche Veranstaltung.

We are a collective from Kleinbasel. We organise various events (non-commercial and with collection only) in our space and in the garden.
Our schools! Our universities!
End Fossil Basel is getting things moving in our schools and at the University of Basel! Together we make the education system - our schools and the University of Basel fit for the future. Come to an event or contact us - Join us!
END FOSSIL: OCCUPY schools and universities!
Between September and December 2022, we occupied more than 50 schools and universities around the world to #EndFossil.
It is important that we organize ourselves as youth at work, at university, but also at our schools! For a social ecology and the end of the fossil industry, as well as its influence on society!
Our 3 principles:
1. youth led - The occupations are organized by young people. All are welcome to join!
2. climate justice - The political framework behind the occupations is that of climate justice. We want an end to the fossil fuel industry in order to achieve climate neutrality and global social justice. We want to achieve our goal through a global and socially just process.
3. occupy until we win - Our intention is to occupy (high-)schools in a wide variety of locations, disrupting public life until our demands are achieved.
We take our inspiration from countless historical examples, such as the 2006 Penguin Revolution in Chile, the 2016 Primavera Secundarista in Brazil, the global mobilization in and after 1986, and many others that have shown us that young people have the power to change society from the ground up. Our goal is nothing less: we start as students, but we want the whole society to take action for climate justice.
We are unstoppable - Another world is possible! We will not give up until the fossil era is over!

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!
