Stammtisch der Utopien
How do we want to live in this world that is about to ruin itself? At our monthly regulars' table, we want to create space for an exchange about everything that concerns us. The regulars' table should be a place where we can discuss the current world together, imagine a new one and sketch out the way to get there. The bar is open, people from the revolutionary climate collective (RKK) are there and are looking forward to being together.

Critical Mass Basel
Once per month we temporarily reclaim public space on our bicycles. We show that there are more sensible transport options than motorised private transport.
The Critical Mass is a peaceful event.
The Critical Mass has no organiser. When the critical mass is reached at the agreed meeting point, it sets off. There is no predetermined route. Whoever rides in the front determines the direction.
The Critical Mass takes place every last Friday of the month. We meet at 18:30 on Petersplatz (near the Kollegienhaus) in Basel.
Snippet Festival 2024
Snippet is a biennial live feature festival. It offers local and international artists a platform to produce their audio pieces live. This gives the audience a direct insight into the creation process of contemporary and sonically
sophisticated audio productions.
The festival promotes the practice of active listening and sees it as a contribution to a diverse society with the joy of debating. The Snippet festival program brings together a curated showcase of experimental audio features. Thematically, the contributions cover a broad spectrum, with artists from a wide range of fields such as acting, sound art, music, anthropology, poetry, performance art and coding.

Revolutionäres 1.Mai-Fest
With a cultural and political program, we want to offer a prelude to this year's 1st of May, create a place for exchange and education and give each other a strengthening moment in the fight for a better world!
In addition to food and drinks, there will also be many information stands at the festival. Here you will have the opportunity to get to know revolutionary groups and projects from Basel and stock up on information material.
The event program:
Marxist perspectives on the climate crisis with Laura Meschede 14:00
"Climate struggle means class struggle!" Good, but what does that actually mean? What is the connection between capitalism and climate destruction? And what strategic conclusions do we need to draw from this? Journalist Laura Meschede has been working on a Marxist perspective on the climate crisis for years and is herself active in the Munich Anti-Capitalist Climate Meeting.
When the Bosch plant in Munich was to be closed under the pretext of climate protection, the comrades of the Climate Meeting joined forces with the factory workers and fought shoulder to shoulder against greenwashing and the capitalist logic of profit. Laura will talk about this labor struggle and about the analysis and perspective of a revolutionary climate movement.
Learn from S.I. COBAS 3:30 pm
The grassroots union S.I. COBAS is shaking up the logistics sector in Italy. Their goal is not a social partnership deal, but to organize in the companies in order to build effective counter-power. With collective, determined struggles, they are teaching the bosses to fear.
A delegation of striking workers from Florence reports on their experiences and methods. We can learn from this for our grassroots work and at the same time find starting points for solidarity. Because the production chains are international and so must be our organization!
Community of squatted Prosfygika 5:00 pm
The "Community of squatted Prosfygika" is a self-managed neighborhood in the heart of Athens that has been squatted since 2010. In the eight blocks of the neighborhood, 400 people live together in a mosaic of different cultures and ethnicities of the oppressed class, within which the residents organize their coexistence and political struggle based on the needs of the community.
The Prosfygika neighborhood is a practical response to the social and economic conditions into which our class has been forced and thus part of the international class struggle. Internationalism and confederalism, as well as influences from the Kurdish freedom movement, are central to the community's common ground.
Comrades from Prosfygika will present the project, talk about the structures on the ground and the political perspectives of their form of organization.
Live music from 19:00
Kathiravan
While his songs are repeatedly blocked by Instagram and YouTube, the Tamil rapper Kathiravan fights tirelessly with the mic and strong, political tracks for a liberated Tamil Eelam.
Sorah
Berlin rapper Sorah brings us raw, political rap in English, French and German. From stage to stage, from street to street, Sorah never stops spreading empowerment! Nique la police et vive la lutte feministe!
And then... Out for May 1st!
On May 1st we will all take to the streets together in an anti-capitalist block! You can find all the info on instagram @erstermaibasel and here https://barrikade.info/article/6383
