Sunday 6.6.2021 – 02:00pm (14:00) – Mehringhof

Berlin. We invite your structures and you people to the General Assembly (GA) on 06.06.21 at Mehringhof, for a general reflexion and discussion about our tactics in the pasts months but also, and most importantly, about how we continue the struggle for our spaces that are under constant attack.
