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

Lotta ist eine revolutionäre, basisdemokratische Organisation aus Basel. Wir kämpfen für eine gerechte, herrschaftsfreie Gesellschaft, an der alle gleichermassen teilhaben können und in der die zentralen Entscheidungen gemeinsam von unten getroffen und umgesetzt werden. Gesellschaftliche Bereiche wie die Produktion, der Wohnraum und die Infrastruktur sollen gemeinschaftlich verwaltet und organisiert sein.
Die heute herrschenden Verhältnisse sind erdrückend. Wenige Konzerne besitzen unglaubliche Mengen an Ressourcen und Macht. Nach wie vor prägen sexistische Strukturen unsere Leben. Menschen werden aufgrund ihrer Herkunft, ihrer Religion oder ihres Aussehens diskriminiert und ausgegrenzt. Arbeitsbedingungen verschlechtern sich und die sozialen Verhältnisse verschärfen sich für die Mehrheit der Bevölkerung. Während die Umwelt zerstört wird, der Rechtsextremismus erstarkt und sich Millionen Menschen auf der Flucht befinden, glauben viele Menschen nicht, dass eine grundlegende Veränderung der Verhältnisse möglich ist.
Doch Widerstände und hoffnungsvolle Kämpfe gibt es überall. Von der neuen weltweiten feministischen Bewegung, zu migrantischen Kämpfen über die gilets jaunes in Frankreich. Von dem revolutionären Gesellschaftsprojekt in Rojava bis hin zur neuen, jungen Klimabewegung.
Wir wollen nicht bloss zusehen. Wir organisieren uns. Um der Vereinzelung und Ohnmacht entgegenzuwirken, möchten wir damit beginnen, den Aufbau von selbstorganisierten, ausserparlamentarischen und solidarischen Strukturen zu stärken. Lokal im Quartier verankert und doch verbunden mit Bewegungen an anderen Orten auf der Welt. Beteiligt am Aufbau von kontinuierlichen Strukturen, welche uns in den Problemen des Alltags Stärke geben – und gleichzeitig fähig mit Aktionen und Demos spontan in das Zeitgeschehen einzugreifen und revolutionäre Positionen in die Gesellschaft zu tragen. Gemeinsam möchten wir Erfahrungen sammeln und einen Schritt vor den anderen setzen.
Überall auf der Welt gibt es Menschen, die für ein anderes Leben einstehen und kämpfen. Durch unser Handeln haben wir die Macht, unsere eigene Zukunft zu gestalten. Erkämpfen wir uns unser Leben zurück!
March against Bayer & Syngenta reveals the destructive practices of the huge agrochemical corporations and calls for sustainable, future-oriented and fair agriculture for everyone.
Over 70 percent of the global seed and pesticide market is currently controlled by four major corporations. These corporations stand for an agricultural system that destroys biodiversity, erodes soils, poisons groundwater and devours vast amounts of fossil energy.
In Switzerland and Basel we have to take responsibility! Since 2015 we have been organizing regular demonstrations, a variety of activities and events to raise public awareness of the dark sides of Syngenta, Bayer, BASF + Co. and to point out alternatives.
After the strike is before the strike! We are feminist, we are in solidarity and we don't back down. Open to all FINTA people (women, inter, non-binary, trans and agender people)!

A platform open to everyone: Those directly affected by capitalist urban revaluation, displacement.
*meeting as needed - contact the network of concerned persons via e-mail.
Basel is becoming more and more exclusive, affordable living space is disappearing, there is no room for non-commercial living together.
But we do not let ourselves be repressed and organize ourselves in "Häusertreff". As those affected, we offer mutual support and plan strategies to resist isolation and displacement.
Support us, come by, interfere, it concerns us all!

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.
