  • Visit of Latin-Amerikagruppene

    Visit of Latin-Amerikagruppene

    “From when we wake up until we go to bed, there is something to fight for.” – Darinson fra CNA.

    Today we had visitors from Colombia, Guatemala, and Brasil through Latin-Amerikagruppene (LAG). We talked about how our struggles are connected, how we can learn from each other, and in what ways our struggles are also different. While it can be hard in Norway it to mobilize people to go outside their daily routines, our guests live in places where they don’t have a choice but to fight for their existence. And many of their struggles are produced by the norwegian state (e.g. Statkraft, equinor, hydro) and encountered with weapons that are part of the norwegian military industry.

    Check out the work of Via Campesina, MST, CNA, Conavigua and LAG to learn more. Stop norwegian colonialism in Latin America (also the “green” version)! No more explosives for imperial wars and land grabbing!

    Thank you for sharing your experiences and thank you for your support. We look forward to working together in the time to come

  • All is quiet over here ❤️‍🔥

    All is quiet over here ❤️‍🔥

    We haven’t heard anything from the municipality yet.

    We are dedicated to stay and we hope for many more visitors in the next days. We invite you to join our climbing skillshare and waffles on saturday. For next week we are looking forward to prepare a little program for visitors of the “Hurumsprinten” car ralley that will pass by in front of our house on the 18th of April. More infos about both events will follow soon!

    Fight Chemring! Fight Norwegian double standards! In solidarity with the people of Iran, Palestine and everyone under imperial and colonial oppression

  • Come by and support us!

    Come by and support us!

    We are so inspired to keep fighting because of all the support we received in past days. So many locals passed by and shared their appreciation for our squat and we got to connect to local and national organisations. All this shows how broad the resistance against Chemring, the state and their death factory is. We can not let Norwegian complicity in genocide and imperial wars continue and that’s why we decided to stay in the house at all costs. Come by in the next days to support and connect with us. Knus Krigskapitalen!!!

  • An unpleasant surprise

    Hey folks! The municipality left us a break up letter today: they want to have us out before 14:00 tomorrow. But we really like it here!!! So we invited them to a dialogue about how we can continue to take care of this beautiful house. Let’s see if they are interested…or if they prefer dialogue with the cops… We’ll keep you updated!

  • Good morning from Avgrunnsdalen 🦊🌲

    Watch Chemring Group’s propaganda video to understand better what we are up against.

    They present themselves as protectors, even a global community. But Chemring is nothing more than actively fueling the global war machine and US imperialism.

    Chemring Nobel is 100% owned by British Chemring Group PLC. 90% of Chemring Nobel’s production is exported to other countries, most of it going to the US weapons industry like Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman and SpaceX, and from the US military directly to the genocidal regime of so-called israel.

    In the last weeks, stock prices for major arms-producing companies in the US have all risen drastically, including for Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin. Both companies produce the missiles, fighter jets, bombers and radar technology used on killing civilians in Iran.

    Each day we spend here in Avgrunnsdalen our hearts are with those who’ve lost their lives or their loved ones and who face the unimaginable horrors of imperial aggression.

    Enough is enough!

    With our new squat in Avgrunsdalen we are a stone in the gears of this war machine. Let us work together to stop Norwegian complicity in war and genocide now!

    Join our open bonfire tonight to see how we can connect❤️‍🔥 If you want to contribute materially, check our wishlist.

  • After the storm

    After the storm

    The last snow is melting, and so it also feels for us. Yesterday we had a great day where we could expand our network with the local community and the activist scene in norway.
    After rainy days of exploring the forest and hills, with water dripping and singing everywhere around us, the sun showed up with people to befriend and listen to. Its a joy feeling that our house in the forest can be place for us to meet and connect fighting the deathmashine of militarization.
    We came up with several ideas for events and started the first plannings. We have an event overview on our website now ~ looking forward to meet you here🦋🐦‍⬛🐾

  • Easter rainday

    Easter rainday

    We had a quiet night deep in this beautiful forest (with endless opportunities!). Today is rainy and we stay inside, mostly working on improving our website and making it nice for some visitors we expect tomorrow 🦉🐌

    Remember you are always welcome to pop by and stay for a coffee!

  • We are nature defending itself!

    On the first picture you can see the zone where the factory is planned to be built. Our squat is right in the middle orange area, in the upper part where you can see the small crossroad. On the second picture you can see the view on a hill in the hurummark forest. We will not allow this destruction to happen!!
    Come by and join us ❤️‍🔥
