Amandine Gay directed the movie Open the Voice, released October 11 th. Crossed portraits 
of 24 black women from France and Belgium, his ambition is to be a "  story of powerful 
and touching women  ". She answers our questions about the context of the film's creation 
and the messages it carries. ---- Libertarian alternative: Can you introduce yourself, and 
present your film ? ---- Amandine Gay: I'm 33 years old and my activities are articulated 
between research and creation. I left France in 2015 to settle in Montreal where I resumed 
studies in sociology. It took me four years to release this documentary called Open Voice. 
I would like to be a director in a sustainable way, but it will depend on the number of 
movie entries. Open the voice was made to three people: me, my spouse, and a friend, 
Coralie Chalon. We do not pay but I was able to do the film without anyone hindering me or 
changing my narration. This film is: "  From the day we discover that we are black the day 
we decide or not to leave France Because it's a project I started the day I decided to 
move to Canada, with the idea of leaving a trace. I wanted to find a distribution box, to 
be supported by people whose job it is. But I was offered bad contracts, so I created my 
production and distribution box: we are the ones who release the film. First in a dozen 
rooms, then twenty, with a big tour of screenings-debates.

The film opens on the chapter entitled "  It will be necessary to fight  ": is it an echo 
to this fight so that it leaves in rooms ?

Amandine Gay: It is especially the idea of transmitting this notion that we learn very 
early in our lives, as a long fight that begins. How, when we belong to racialized 
communities [1], we understand that everything we do is going to be a fight. During my 
experience as an actress, I was told things like: "  We do not use the Blacks because you 
are difficult to light, you take less light  " or "  It's a film of niche  ". As if what 
does not relate to the majority group could not be universal. Fortunately, the blacks, the 
Arabs are able to identify with the majority group, because otherwise we could not 
appreciate the cinema! Why the opposite would not be true ? A friend advised me to apply 
for CNC writing assistance [2]because the CNC is a cascading system. For example, you must 
have already received assistance from the CNC to request assistance from the Diversity 
Images Fund, or production support, post-production. I did not have help. The operation of 
the CNC is interesting, the idea of financing auteur cinema by taking money from 
blockbusters is a brilliant idea. But the question afterwards is: how is this money 
distributed ? He goes to those who already have them. The rules put in place make money go 
to the most powerful in the world of auteur cinema.

"  Live happy, live hidden  " is the title of another of your chapters. This is what you 
choose not to do. At what price ?

Amandine Gay: It's hard, but I did it once, I will not do it two. I do not have the money, 
the energy anymore. Nothing is permanent, this national outing is a tour de force, which 
is expensive financially, emotionally, physically. I am very tired. It's problematic, 
because it means that very few black women have the opportunity to do that. The last time 
a black woman had a national trip to France was thirty years ago, and yet in thirty years 
there have been black women with talent. I did Sciences Po, so I can also do my accounting 
and administration, in addition to being an artist. In addition I am visible in the media, 
I take the floor easily. But people who have "  just Talent, who can accompany them ? My 
father swept the streets but I have a mother teacher. My school career is completely 
linked to the fact that she was able to push me to school. So it depends on luck and 
individual will. That bothers me. What is set up so that girls who do not have my 
background can make films ? I do not see many answers.

In the film, you chose to make these women speak individually and yet we feel that the 
collective (the family, the community) is very present. How in your struggles, one passes 
from the individual experience to the collective ?

Amandine Gay:This film is for young black girls. This is the movie I would have liked to 
see when I was 15 years old. It's about talking to people who have no militant background, 
and showing them that the private is political. The goal is to legitimize the individual 
experience by multiplying the stories, that they realize that what happens to them, it 
does not happen to them. Because this awareness is the condition sine qua non a 
mobilization. I often find that, in militant circles, we forget that to mobilize we must 
already be aware that our situation is political, and that it is not based on individual 
merits. People in very precarious situations end up being held responsible for what 
happens to them. From a perspective of popular education, I am targeting people who are 
not politicized, who are not mobilized, I want to tell them that these issues are social 
and political. The other goal, by highlighting individualities, is also to bring nuance. 
We Blacks are often presented as a homogeneous group. It is necessary to leave a 
globalizing, totalizing vision of the blow, which takes away our individuality. I wanted 
to give back this complexity.

One of the people you are interviewing refers to "  traumatic postcolonial stuff  " to 
refer to the fact that white people often touch her hair without asking her opinion. In 
which aspects of the artist's life do we feel this "  traumatic postcolonial trick  " ?

Amandine Gay: Already, in the roles we are offered, girls all have the same first name, 
Fatou or Fatoumata. And there are two types of roles that we are offered when we are a 
black actress. Either a girl out of prison, violent, drugged, prostitute, etc., or a 
migrant woman, with a story related to a forced marriage, where in addition you are asked 
to "  focus  " ! There are 53 countries in Africa, what does it mean ? Why can not the 
role of "  Corinne, secretary  " be played by a Black woman ? We will have passed a course 
when we will be entitled to banality. The only way out is to create our own stuff.

The Anarchist Network Southwest * (A-Net) now becomes a regional federation of the 
Federation of German-speaking Anarchists (FdA). Through the FdA, the A network is also 
part of the International Anarchist Federations (IFA). In addition to the Anarchist 
Federation Rhine / Ruhr (AFRR, currently 5 groups) there is a second regional federation 
within the FdA with the A network. ---- Six groups in six cities / counties have decided, 
following the idea of ​​anarchist federalism, to officially form a regional federation. By 
anarchist federalism, it is meant that organizations based on the voluntary agreement are 
decentralized in small units (federations). The information and decisions of the groups 
are transmitted and represented by group representatives (delegates) to the next federal 
level. The group delegates are not allowed to decide on their personal opinion at 
federation level, but are bound by the group order of their member group. So you have an 
imperative mandate of the group. At the same time, the local groups continue to be 
independent in their practice and decision making towards the Regional Federation and the 
FdA. Similarly, the A network as a regional federation remains independent from the FdA.

Originally the Southwest Anarchist Network * had the character of a loose network in which 
one supported, exchanged and discussed each other. We now want to make use of this 
political networking and supraregional cooperation, which has existed for seven years now, 
to get more involved in the FdA. We want to create a link between regional organization 
and networking on the one hand, and the supraregional structure of FdA on the other. 
According to the anarchist idea of ​​federalism, the decentralized organizational 
structure of the FdA should be further developed by our regional federation. We see the 
formation of a regional federation within the FdA as a course set for further growth of 
the Anarchist Federation in the future as a total federation as well as at the regional 
level to remain able to act. At the same time, we understand our move to the regional 
federation as a signal to other FdA groups to establish regional federations in their 
regions as well.

With the regional federation we are taking another small step as an A-net in the direction 
of the establishment of liberal socialism in the southwest *. For the near future, we are 
aiming for further growth and are committed to promoting the founding of anarchist 
structures in the cities and villages of our catchment area. Interested groups or 
individuals are welcome to contact the A-net via e-mail.

An introductory article about the situation of Catalonia and the position of some Catalan 
anarchists. ---- If some of our Spanish comrades cannot understand the complexity of our 
position neither can the worldwide fellas. I'm writing this article with my very best 
English to try to explain the position of a lot of anticapitalist Catalans who support the 
Catalan Republic. ---- I'm a member of Embat, a political organization centered on 
Catalonia who works for social anarchism, so my position comes from this point of view. 
Some details will not be shared by other positions, such as other anarchists or the left 
independentist movement (Arran, Endavant, CUP...), but, for what I've seen and heard, 
there are a lot of similarities. ---- For what I've seen, there's a lot of ignorance about 
the participation of the social movements in the Catalan process and every argument is 
reduced either to nationalists causes or parliamentary actions. First, I'll try to explain 
the political history of Spain and Catalonia, and then, give you my point of view of what 
have happened this days and our opinion of this.

Spain

As you should know, Spain has been ruled, for 40 years of democracy, mainly by two 
parties. The first is Partido Popular (or PP) that represents a wide spectrum of the right 
and its fundators were members of Franco's government. The other party is Partido 
Socialista Obrero Español (or PSOE) that represents a left-center position after 
abandoning the Marxist ideology.

For more than 30 years, nothing have really changed in an deep way in the Spanish state 
and a popular claim in the Left is that these parties represent the '78 Regime, in 
reference of the Constitution of 1978 that is still active.

In 2011, after three years of financial crisis, the Occupy movement (called in Spain 15-M 
movement) appeared and it was an opportunity for different parties to grow, mainly 
Ciudadanos (a liberal political party) and Podemos (a left-wing party). With Podemos, a 
lot of smaller left-wing parties joined them into coalitions to win the municipal 
elections of 2015. After winning on Barcelona and Madrid, Podemos and the other political 
parties tried to do the same in the general elections of 2016. Unfortunately, this 
coalition didn't work, PP won the elections and Podemos got the third position (the second 
one was for PSOE, of course).

The main social movement in Spain these days is Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca 
(or PAH), a housing rights movement very close to Podemos. They've done a great work 
stopping evictions and drove an initiative for housing rights but it was dismissed by the 
PP government.

So, for now, the only alternative in Spain is represented by Podemos and a possibility of 
a left coalition in the general elections on 2020. Nevertheless, in the main polls, 
Podemos is losing votes and PP keeps growing.

Catalonia

In Catalonia, the '78 Regime have its own two-party system protagonists: Convergència i 
Unió (or Ciu) the wide right-wing party and Partit Socialista de Catalunya or PSC, which 
is the Catalan federation of PSOE.

In 2011, the Catalan people also joined the 15-M movement and Ciudadanos and Podemos also 
appeared in the Catalan political spectrum but with less influence. Also, Candidatura 
d'Unitat Popular (or CUP) appeared as the left independentists party with a clear 
anticapitalist and feminist approach. The independentists movement started to grow with 
the creation of the Assemblea Nacional Catalana (or ANC) and the growth in popularity of 
Òmnium Cultural and the huge protests during the national Catalan day on the 11th of 
September. These two organizations have national-independentists ideals and are very close 
to the main independentists coalition Junts Pel Sí. This candidacy rules now the Catalan 
government have members of the civil society but also from other independentists parties 
such as Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (or ERC) and CiU.

So, before the referendum, the only great alternative in Catalonia against the '78 Regime 
was represented by this independentist movement which have no social content.

At that moment, we understood that we couldn't fight the nationalist ideals neither create 
an anticapitalist alternative. Nevertheless, we supported the idea that a fracture in the 
structures of the '78 Regime in Spain could be an opportunity for the anticapitalists 
collectives to grow, as people will get closer to radical ideals and practices. So, we 
supported the referendum and the independence without many enthusiasm.

The defense of the Referendum

With the PP government trying to ban the referendum and the possibility of a large scale 
repression, things changed drastically. On the 20th of September, the Spanish police tried 
to enter into the CUP headquarters and arrested some official workers from the Catalan 
government. Also, some Spanish unionists protests started to happen, with the 
participation of many fascist groups.

In many villages and neighborhoods, the left indendentist movement started the creation of 
Comitès de Defensa del Referèndum (or CDRs) which are local popular comittees to defend 
the neighborhoods and electoral colleges from the Spanish police and fascists.

We understood that this independentist movement had become something more than a 
nationalist or parliamentary movement. It had become a social movement, diverse and with a 
lot of potential. As anarchists, we thought that, it would be better for our movement to 
participate in these comittees, so we should have and opportunity to propose our practices 
and ideas and relate with people that normally see us as freaks. In our neighborhoods and 
villages we also started or joined the CDRs.

For example, in the neighborhood of Vallcarca (Barcelona), the anarchists were one of the 
firsts to propose the creation of a local comittee. The main squatted social center became 
the headquarters of the comitee and the reunions were made in assembly, taking turns and 
being as horizontal as possible.

Also, the alternative worker unions (mostly CGT, COS and IAC) started to talk about a 
general strike in the 3rd of October in order to answer in case of a big repression.

On the day of the referendum, the Spanish police attacked with brutal violence some of the 
election colleges, causing nearly a thousand injured in Catalonia, but the comitees 
answered with direct action methods. Trucks and vehicles from the rural areas blocked the 
way for the police, people hid the urns, change it for fake ones, made human walls, 
organized the communication and the care for the injured, etc. There was an universal 
census for the referendum (we could vote in wherever college we wanted) so there was a 
great coordination within the comittees to redirect the voters to other closer colleges. 
At the end, the participation for the referendum was on the 42% and only the 14% of 
electoral colleges were closed although nearly 20000 Spanish policemen were deployed in 
the Catalan territory.

The general strike started two days later with ANC, Òmnium Cultural and some employer 
organizations joining. In front of the cameras, the strike had none labour content, but it 
had been driven by the alternative unions. Neither CCOO and UGT, the main Spanish unions, 
were part of the strike.

On the next days we saw the rising of the fascists in many protests that ended up with 
some people injured in Barcelona, Valencia and Mallorca with the total complicity of the 
Spanish police and government. On the other hand, the CDRs have started to grow and 
increase, becoming a local defense spot for the declaration of independence. However, ANC 
and Òmnium Cultural still have an important influence over the movement that we must dispute.

Our position for now on

What we've seen these days is the polarization of the Spanish and Catalan society into 
more radical positions, a political fracture that is nowadays represented by the 
declaration of the Catalan Republic and the suspension of the Catalan autonomy with the 
155th article of the Spanish Constitution. We have a great portion of the independentists 
movement turning to the left and some worker organizations trying to maintain this pulse 
with the right wing parties.

We have also a rising of the fascism, mostly in the Spanish territory and there's no 
movement capable of confronting it. Podemos is trying to have a kind profile in order to 
win the next elections (they are confronting both the declaration of independence and the 
Spanish government repression).

In Catalonia, we must keep pushing for the defense of the Republic from the CDRs. In order 
to create a great left pole, we must start talking about the constituent process that 
follows the declaration of independence. This could mean the empowering of the 
anticapitalist organizations and the regaining of rights for the workers, the women and 
the environment. Maybe we have an opportunity of having something more that another 
liberal European state.

We also understand that this fracture can be an expansive wave into other movements to 
grow in Spain and Europe, so we think that defending the Catalan Republic from a left-wing 
point of view in Europe could mean in the growing of the popular movements around the 
continent. I think that's the reason the Kurdish movement is supporting us.

So I wrote this to explain our position, but also to ask for solidarity in a political 
level. Please, spread the word with other anticapitalists, feminists, ecologists, 
anarchists and other radical leftist and keep fighting.

The anarcho-syndicalist group rounds up its recent activities in the city, where it has 
been having a lot of success organising against mistreatment of tenants. ---- Three groups 
of tenants organising with Brighton Solidarity Federation Housing Union over the past 
three months have each secured victories in their disputes. Working with our Housing 
Union, these tenants used the everyday tactics of solidarity and mutual support to take 
direct action - to win back stolen cash and to improve their conditions. ---- The first 
dispute was a group of tenants whose landlord and lettings agencies had left them living 
in damp, infested accommodation for a year. The landlord switched agencies half way 
through the tenancy, though both failed to address the problems in the house. After a 
direct action campaign, the landlord and the two agencies paid out £3,900 in relation to 
the damp issue. Together with the tenancy deposit the campaign had demanded to be returned 
in full, the six tenants received just over £6,000 as a result of the campaign.

The second dispute was a tenant who had £510 withheld from her deposit for cleaning and 
maintenance charges. The tenant had the house professionally cleaned before she left, and 
had evidence that she had not caused the damaged alleged. The letting agency refunded the 
withheld amount after a direct action campaign.

The third dispute was a tenant whose landlord left him without a working cooker for a year 
and a half. The tenant and Brighton SolFed wrote to the landlord about this, and he 
installed a new, gas safety certified cooker after the threat of a campaign.

We're really pleased about the compensation, refunded deposits, and improved conditions 
that these tenants have won. We're also really excited that tenants are taking the 
solidarity that so many of us undertake every day - helping friends with their housing 
situation, supporting one another to stand up for ourselves against the bullying landlords 
and agencies - and fighting back against the poor living conditions, extortionate rent and 
fees, and neglect that will be familiar to so many people living in Brighton and beyond. 
Through direct action and solidarity, we have the power to improve our lives!

We'll have full write ups of these disputes soon - for now, if you're having trouble with 
your landlord or letting agency, you can get in touch with us by emailing 
housing@brightonsolfed.org.uk, or by texting 07427239960.

Like Chelsea says, We Got This!

Palestinians, the declaration represents the moment an imperial power promised their land

Thousands of people have converged on Bonn, Germany, for COP 23, the annual United Nations 
summit on climate change. What is COP 23 and why should we care? ---- COP and the UNFCCC 
---- Climate change is a global crisis like nothing humans have seen before. COP 23 stands 
for the 23rd ‘Congress of Parties', the 23rd in a series of similar climate talks. This 
happens within the UNFCCC or ‘UN Framework Convention on Climate Change' - basically the 
UNFCCC is a plan and legal framework to seriously deal with climate change as a global 
society. The UNFCCC was agreed in 1992 in Brazil and has been built upon each year. This 
came over 30 years after climate change was given serious international political 
treatment by the UN in 1961[1]. The well-known ‘Kyoto Protocol' was agreed in 1997 as part 
of this.

The talks are attended by politicians and diplomats representing almost 200 countries, 
over 11,000 delegates[2]. Many, many, other groups are present as NGOs (e.g. the World 
Wildlife Fund, Oxfam, universities, business groups, unions)[3], IGOs (‘intergovernmental 
organisations' such as the OECD and OPEC)[4], and media organisations. Notably, every year 
there are large, lively, demonstrations to put pressure on negotiations and inform the 
public of what is really happening. While it can feel like ‘no one is doing anything', 
global, grassroots, resistance is growing every year, just it needs to be greater.

Following the Paris Agreement

Very important context for this year's talks is a major milestone in 2015, known as the 
Paris Agreement or Paris Accord. Nations agreed that they were obligated to keep global 
temperatures below a certain level, and also officially recognised the scientific 
consensus on climate change[5][6]. This was important for two main reasons: First, the 
Kyoto Protocol had failed. It aimed to decrease global CO2 emissions by 5% in 2012 
compared to 1990[7]. By Paris in 2015, they had increased by 60%. Second, a wave of 
disinformation (climate change denial) and lobbying by big oil and big agriculture had 
seriously set back progress.

However, despite these successes, the Paris Agreement was denounced by many people, 
including top climate scientists, as too little too late. Dr. James Hansen called it a 
fraud[8]. This is for 2 main reasons, 1) that the target is too dangerous, and 2) that 
there is little chance of us even reaching it.

The aim is to prevent global average temperature from rising 2 degrees Celsius more than 
before the industrial revolution. This is because global average temperature is an 
indicator for how much the climate has changed, with a larger deviation representing a 
greater threat, higher sea levels, more extreme weather, crop failure, etc. Fossil fuel 
emissions kicked off during the industrial revolution, so temperature is compared to 
before then (the year is officially taken to be 1750). Scientists like Hansen and Prof. 
Michael Mann have criticised this target of 2 degrees as way too unambitious, too dangerous.

This goal is to be achieved by nations submitting their own plans and their own targets 
(called ‘NDCs', or ‘Nationally Determined Contributions' - lots of jargon around these 
climate talks). The advantage of this was it was easier to get nations to agree. The 
disadvantage is that when you add up all the NDCs, it means we're majorly missing our 
target of 2 degrees. Progress is being made, but we're on course currently for 3.5 degrees 
or higher, missing the critical target by a wide margin (like landing your plane in a 
ditch rather than the runway)[9].

At COP 23, now, these plans are being reviewed and built upon, as well as the Kyoto 
Protocol. Infamously, Donald Trump pulled out of the Paris Agreement earlier in 2017. It 
can't pull out legally till 2020 though. This would make the US the only nation on Earth 
not to be a signatory of the Paris Agreement. Over its whole history, the US has emitted 
the most CO2 of all countries. The US diplomatic service have travelled to Germany to say 
what the coal industry wants them to say[10]. However, a substantial contingent of 
Americans is attending COP 23 to counter this, under the banner of ‘We Are Still In'[11].

Hope Comes from Action

People often find these issues depressing and avoid it. That's understandable but it's not 
a good idea. If we close our eyes and let the politicians and the lobbyists decide what 
happens, the future is grim. But knowledge is power, and if we inform ourselves, stick 
together, and get up and do something, we can change the world, just as we've done other 
times. In Ireland, the havoc of Hurricane Ophelia is fresh in our memory[12][13]. We have 
to ask ourselves: ‘what am I willing to do to stop this?'. And if not for ourselves, for 
the children yet to be born who had no hand in this, and the poor across the world who are 
already being devastated. Hope is created through action, and every person can act.
