  • Open meeting on Saturday, 2nd of May at 16:00

    Yesterday, Forsvarsbygg and Norconsult sent their new “proposal” for the areal plans of Chemring’s explosives factory to Naturvernforbundet. They instantly criticized these plans, as they suddenly affect a much larger area of the forest, nearby towns, streams and lakes than initially suggested. In addition, certain criteria have been adjusted in a way that Hurummarka appears to become the only viable location for this project. 

    While misleadingly calling their plans as a “proposal”, nothing essential about this factory is up to debate. A “no” is not – and has never been – a possible answer. Instead of being honest about this truth, Forsvarsbygg continues the theatre of “democracy” by now inviting citizens to “open meetings”.
    We invite everyone to no longer accept this show as a inevitable normality. Join us for our open meeting on Saturday, 2nd of May, at 16:00 here in Avgrunnsdalen.

    Let’s dream together about how this valley can develope into a place of ardent resistance and solidarity.

  • The geese are staying strong

    Yesterday, the local municipality voted in favor of kicking us out of the house. They will ask the police to do it for them.
    The municipality rather want to remove us instead of the british/american owned company Chemring that bombs children for profit.

    We are neither surprised nor frightened.
    The Geese are now making themselves ready for the weekly bonfire at 19:00, where they will strategize about how to move forward. We invite you all! 🙂

  • Letter to Asker Kommune

    Letter to Asker Kommune

    Tomorrow, Asker Commune will take a decision about how we can stay here.

    Let’s let them know our demands! We want to stay in this beautiful house to….
    …. protest against Chemring Nobel,
    …. protect this beautiful forest and the Oslofjord,
    …. build alliances against militarisation,
    …. create a social center.

    You can send this letter directly to the 55 members of the communestyre to show them: We Are Many!


    Kjære Asker kommune,

    Vi ønsker med dette å rette kritikk mot deres krav til aktivistene i Hurummarka om å forlate den gamle militærbrakka i Rødbyveien 43, Avgrunnsdalen.

    Aktivistene tar vare på både eiendom og natur ved å ta i bruk hus og friluftsområder. Huset var i elendig forfatning da aktivistene ankom, og det har siden blitt ryddet og vasket av dem. Deres tilstedeværelse vil bidra til ivaretakelse av et bygg som ellers ville forfalt.

    Mange i lokalbefolkningen støtter aktivistenes mål om å stoppe Chemring Nobels utbygging av en sprengstoffabrikk som både vil rasere Hurummarka og forurense Oslofjorden. Sivil ulydighet er en ikke-voldelig, demokrati-bevarende og bredt akseptert protestform i Norge.

    Aktivistene bidrar til å fremme et positivt sosialt miljø i nærområdet. De oppfordrer til besøk, planlegger aktiviteter for barn og voksne, og forbipasserende har fortalt om hyggelige møter og samtaler.

    Vi er mange som stiller oss bak aktivistene i Hurummarka. Derfor ber vi dere: møt dem med dialog og vennlighet fremfor utkastelseskrav. La dem få bli værende!

  • ✊ Solidarity from Hambi to

    🔥Hurummarka – Knus Krigsmaskinen

    the forest occupation defending Hurummarka against Chemring Nobel’s explosives factory, about 1.5h southwest from Oslo.

    The big beautiful forest shall be destroyed for a new explosives-factory for Chemring Nobel. Chemring’s largest single costumer is the US Departement of Defence (Lockheed Martin and through this the israel military). Other customers include Diehl Defence, SpaceX and Boeing. If built, the factory’s highly specific products will be a crucial corner stone for ongoing future imperialist wars and settler colonial projects.

    The forest creatures see no other option but to organize and become sand in this transnational military industrial machinery!

    Luckily there is already a strong (and angry!) civil resistance and some locals have shared their desire for more direct actions.

  • Race against the war machine!!

    Race against the war machine!!

    We dont like cars and we hate nationalism, but we see some common ground with the participants of the Hurumsprinten in the fight against Chemring and the military industry that destroy Hurummarka. Thats why we are here today with info material, coffee and pancakes (waffle iron broke again…), ready to chat about what we can do to support each other.

    Come by ☕️🧇

    Knus Krigsmaskinen (og Nasjonalisme)!!

  • Hurumsprinten with waffles

    This weekend theres gonna be a big event happening in Hurummarka. A lot of people will come to watch the annual car race and camp in front of our house.

    We wish to connect with others that care in one way or another about this forest and to see how we can fight the factory together. Therefore we thought it would be nice to hand out waffels, tea, coffee and self made prints. In the evenings we will create a cinema space and watch ‘Earths Greatest Enemy’ and ‘Flåklyppa’.

    If you wanna help us you can come by, donate to us and/or help us with giving out waffles and making this house even more cozy.

    We are thrilled to see you all!
