  • What is Midsummer?

    In many northern countries peoples celebrate Midsummer.

    🌾 HISTORICALLY 🌾
    … this day marks the midpoint of the growing season, halfway between planting and harvest.

    ☀️ ASTRONOMICALLY ☀️
    … speaking, summer begins on the solstice, which is always around the 20th of June. At this moment, the Sun reaches its highest and northernmost points in the sky, and Earth’s North Pole tilts directly toward the Sun. It’s the longest day of the year. The sun does not even disappear at night in some more Nordic regions of the world. In fact, the Sun’s declination path appears to stop before reversing direction. “Solstice” is a combination of the Latin words sol for “sun” and stitium for “standing.” In late December, the Sun appears to stand still again, when we experience the winter solstice—the shortest day.

    💐 TRADITION 💐
    Celebrations for Midsummer typically begin on Midsummer Eve. Dancing, eating, bonfires, collecting flowers and way more! Which traditions are actually getting practised depends on the area and the people you are with.

    👉 At our celebration we will have a diverse mix out of different practices and it also highly depends on who brings what knowledge. We are really existed to create our own tradition with you!

  • Greetings to the Banny forest occupation!

    Greetings to the Banny forest occupation!

    While we are still giggeling about the fact that the municipality requested the police to evict us citing AI-genereated praragraphs, another local government has dilegitimized itself by evoking the executive force on local resistance with questionable legal footing. This time it happened to a forest occupation close to Frankfurt, Germany called Banny against a gravel company taking away the local forest. There – evicting people – the cops had to stop mid-eviction and left the forest still occupied. The court had confirmed doubts about the legal construction, the municipality had created.
    The pattern of government caring less about law or quality or foundations of life of the people we expect it everywhere.
    So it is only a question of time and place when governing bodies will cast aside their virtue. With their decision to unquestionably follow governmental orders, the police facilitate this foreseeable problem.

    We stand in solidarity with everyone who fights this!

  • “Democracy! Bread and Circus!”

    🎪🤹  Welcome to the performance “Democracy! Bread and Circus!” directed by the Norwegian Defence States Agency, Chemring and Asker Municipality. All decisions have been made, come in and watch the play Democracy!”

    11 May, Tofte Secondary School: What was supposed to be a model for democratic participation and transparent planning from the Norwegian Defence States Agency and Chemring, has turned out to be exactly the opposite: a well-directed mock process. The recently launched planning report and the so-called “People’s Meeting” are nothing more than a play designed to give citizens the illusion of influence, while the decisions have already been made.
    It is very gratifying to see that so many of the locals are not fooled by the leather process, but possess a lot of important knowledge and put the Norwegian Defence States Agency to the wall.

    How has the Norwegian Defence States Agency reached its conclusions? Have they changed the criteria or were the criteria also decided in advance? We cannot accept that the Norwegian Defence States Agency continues to use “open meetings” as an excuse for a lack of genuine dialogue. A planning process that is not willing to accept criticism and adjust its course is not a planning process, it is a decision-making machine. When Chemring Nobel, Asker municipality, the Norwegian Defence States Agency and the State are united in not allowing the local population to take part in deciding whether there should be an explosives factory at Hurum or not, the local population should take matters into their own hands.

    We also invite you to our open meetings in Avgrundsdalen. Boycott or disrupt all of the leather processes set up by the Norwegian Defence States Agency and Asker Municipality, support us in the Avgrunnsdalen Valley and help build up direct democracy and real resistance to the war machine.

  • If you’ve ever wondered what you would have done during world war 2

    If you’ve ever wondered what you would have done during world war 2

    Today we remember the liberation day from the nazi-occupation.
    We remember all those whose names are buried under the amnesia of time,
    who stood up against the nazis,
    to do what is right,
    without getting credit for it.

    We remember the teachers who refused to teach the kids the nazi curriculum.
    We remember the Norwegian police officers who refused to collaborate with the nazis,
    and instead made fake passports for jews,
    and was sent to concentration camps because of it.

    We remember all the women who resisted, with guns, with radios, with any means necessary.
    We remember all those who endured gestapo’s torture, not to snitch on comrades and their loved ones.
    We remember all those who saw suicide as the only way out.

    We comemmorate all those who are imprisoned today, fighting the same fascist ideology as back then.

    How is our world of today different from the times of world war 2? In terms of the need to stand up and resist the horrors resulting from the majority’s ignorance?
    Some say world war 3 has long begun.

    Ask the people of Palestine, Sudan, Yemen, Congo, Kurdistan, Lebanon, Ukraine, Myanmar, Libya, Iran, Afghanistan, or those living on and defending indigenous territories.
    Ask the people who drown under a dinghy (whats that?), trying to flee from western bomb rain.
    Ask the people who survive under modern slavery.
    Ask the thousands of species at the brinknof extinction. (cant ask those thatvare extinct)
    Ask the pigs and chickens in mega slaughter-factories.
    Ask the beings that are stuck in climate disasters.
    Ask the future children of the world, who are fighting over the crops that didn’t fail.
    Ask the people who sleep on the rough streets in the imperial core,
    Ask those who don’t like to sleep on a privileged white pillow soaked in exploited blood from the imperial periphery.
    Ask the people who think nobody is free until everybody is free.

    If you’ve ever wondered what you would have done during world war 2 … you’re doing it now.

  • News from Asker Commune

    Today, Asker Commune informed us that they talked to the police about an eviction. We are expecting the next time to be more stressful than usual. Come by to support on-site or contribute otherwise! Together, we can stop Europe’s biggest war-explosives factory from being built!

    🐞 On April 2nd, we occupied a cabin in the beautiful, old forests of Hurummarka (near Oslo, Norway). In the past month, we have become part of a community concerned about social justice, peace, ecology and decolonial struggels by Sámi and Palestinian people. We were finding union with the trees and creatures around us, connecting more and more to the land. We started living alternatives to war, genocide, and colonialism.

    Now, Asker commune wants us out. Chemring Nobel is interested in selling war-explosives for profit – ignorant about the deaths their weapons causes in Gaza, blind against fueling fascism in Germany by making deals with Diehl Defense. And the Norwegian Government is all to happy to clear the future construction site of protest.

    We need you now to defend this land, to speak up against war, to rebuild utopias. 🐛

    If you have capacities: come by and/or join the struggle against Chemring Nobel! You can contact us and find more infos here

  • Regular meetings every Saturday, 16:00

    Regular meetings every Saturday, 16:00

    Yesterday we had our first open meeting in the forest. As locals, activists and representatives of different organizations we came together here in Avgrunnsdalen over pancakes and coffee. 🙂

    We talked about how we can work together, stay in touch and build a powerful movement. It was so inspiring to hear the different perspectives about the land, the history of the people living here, and what each of us are doing to protect this area and stop the war machine. After the meeting many stayed to help us pull up the beginning structures of a tree house.

    Thank you to everyone that came yesterday. From now on we will have regular meetings every Saturday at 16.00. The meeting is open to anyone that would like to join, and we are looking forward to seeing both old and new faces here next week! Together we can build community and a stronger resistance.
