IGA Interprofessionelle Gewerkschaft der Arbeiter:innen

info@igabasel.ch

0616819291

We advise you on legal issues in the areas of work, unemployment and social security.
We support you in your company if you want to defend yourself against unfair conditions, for example

We are committed to improving working and living conditions

We defend the interests of wage earners
We are clearly partisan, because we always side with the wage earners!

The IGA is the trade union for precarious workers, those who work temporarily, on an interim basis, on call and in several part-time jobs at the same time. The job seekers, those who have been excluded, those with reduced pensions, those who are on the subsistence level, the self-employed, bogus self-employed, undocumented workers - and of course all those who still have a permanent job.

Opening hours: Mo, Di und Do 14-17 Beratung

CCJ Collective Climate Justice

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!

MEO Basel

1312 Basel

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

QuSol - Quartier Solidarität

QuSol is a grassroots social center in the Matthäus district that brings people from different backgrounds together and provides space for political projects.

In our society, many people are affected by rising rents, job losses, poverty or police violence and are therefore struggling with psychological and material problems. In QuSol, we can come together as a neighborhood to get to know each other and build solidarity-based, emancipatory networks.
For example, the open café, regular free German courses or the "Lilith" meeting for women and genderqueer people take place here every second Friday. You can also come with your own ideas, we look forward to it!

Opening hours: Jeden zweiten Freitag 17-21 Uhr

End Fossil: Occupy Basel

Basel

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!

Fiasko Magazin

critical intervention against migration regimes

Fiasko against fiasko

In Switzerland, Europe and many places throughout the world, migrants are judged “unwelcome”. Arriving people are rejected, isolated, administered and locked away. Somebody who wants to fight against this, who is searching for reliable information, is confronted with an impenetrable jungle of laws, orders and official despotism. Medias publish mostly superficial articles, repor- ted always from the same presumptuous perspective. Structures and conditions should not be questioned – we place a totally different demand on this newspaper!

face it: more than informing and commenting

In this newspaper there will be place for critical and self-determined texts written by people who no longer want to go along with a migration regime that categorizes, oppresses and exploits. By people who have had enough of a society who grants privileges and excludes, who want to rise their voice – silently and cautious, aloud and angry. By people who want to choose freely with whom they want to live with and in which manner and where their life should happen. People who demand this for everybody – open and in solidarity.

deal with it: think along, exchange and intervene

The point of this newspaper is to enforce awareness and to come into action against any illegalisation, discrimination and exclusion. Contribute with your own texts to criticize fundamentally all the social, economic and political structures that back up the migration regime. Different kinds of contributions are welcome – apart from reports and articles there will be place for creati- ve inputs such as pictures, drawings, comics and poems. All the contributions come out in the original language and with an English translation.

UFO Mink

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.
