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

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
Climate Justice Basel
Call for climate justice in Basel and worldwide!
The electorate approved the Basel2030 climate justice initiative with 56.7%. In the run-off question, the counter-proposal was accepted with a majority of 61.9%. With this result, climate justice, the polluter pays principle and "1.5°C" are written into the constitution as a guideline for state action! The desire of the people of Basel for consistent climate targets is great. Now it is about the implementation.
Measures for climate justice
We demand that emissions be reduced particularly quickly over the next 5 years. The population should be involved in the process and those who are particularly affected should receive additional support. It is important to move forward in many different areas, e.g. to immediately stop climate-damaging projects such as the Rhine tunnel, to promote innovative start-ups or to introduce further training for teachers to support them in communicating the climate crisis in the classroom.
We demand all this and much more. In the "Necessary Measures for Climate Justice and Net Zero by 2037" we have thought about what the implementation of the initiative requires. We have handed over the list of measures to the government and look forward to continuing to implement the initiative in the future. There is a lot to do.

We are a bunch of different people who want to live in wagons.
We are also up to to share our everyday life with many others, build things together, make fires or go swimming in the Rhein.

Ignorance Unlimited watches: We thematize and criticize the ecological destruction of local companies, the entanglement of Basel with global exploitation.
Under the name of IGNORANCE UNLIMITED, various action groups have come together to denounce the ignorance of the city of Basel. Actions under the name Ignorance Unlimited show that a globalised economy has global consequences and therefore a responsibility that does not bounce off city or country borders. The history and richness of Basel and Switzerland is based on the exploitation of man and nature in other parts of the world.
Ignorance Unlimited watches: Ecological destruction of local companies, the entanglement of Basel with global exploitation must be addressed and criticized. No additional tax income and no additional job for Basel justifies the behaviour of large multinationals and must not be used as an argument for justification. Let's talk about ignorance.

R.A.B. - revolutionary antipatriarchal alliance basel
R.A.B. is an alliance of anti-patriarchal forces of the extra-parliamentary left in Basel. Our focus is on the 25th of November which is the international day against violence towards women and genderqueer people as well as the 8th of march¹.
Every day we experience being suppressed by the patriarchy. In a capitalist system, patriarchal structures lead to the exploitation of women and genderqueer people.
We don't want more gender diversity in the head positions, we want do abolish capitalist systems. Part of that is to overcome gender specific work segmentation, specifically reproduction and care work. We want to overcome the binary gender roles of “men” and “women”. The liberation from patriarchy must go hand in hand with the liberation from imperialism.
In R.A.B. we summon our anger towards daily sexism and transphobia, towards the daily violence that far too often even leads to femicide and murder of trans people. Let us use our differences as strength. Together against the patriarchy!

Open meeting for women and genderqueer people
At Lilith, women and genderqueer people from very different parts of the world meet. We talk to each other about everyday and political issues that concern us. What we all have in common is that we know from our own experience what it means to be a woman or genderqueer person in a world characterized by social inequality and violence. We also see ourselves as part of a larger feminist movement, exchange ideas about feminist struggles in different countries and show solidarity with these struggles.
