Ungdomshuset Solidarity Action in NYC
*forward widely*
Descend upon Danish Consulate on Tuesday March 6th at NOON
In response to the repression of our brothers and sisters in Denmark
and the seizure of Ungdomshuset, a community center which has served
Danish youth, activists and musicians for years, we call for a
solidarity action at the Danish Consulate on Tuesday, March 6 th at
noon. We must defend the right of communities to organize and defend
their spaces from the State.
The Danish State sold Ungdomshuset to the right wing Christian group,
Faderhuset, in 2000. The residents of Copenhagen have resisted the
sale of their community center and have fought back against the State
numerous times, culminating with wide spread resistance on March 1
st, when the police forcibly evicted the residents of Ungdomshuset.
We demand the release of all those arrested during the resistance to
the eviction. We demand that the State end its violent attacks
against the people of Copenhagen. We demand the return of
Ungdomshuset to the people. We join with others across the world in
condemning the Danish State.
