Join us on this Sunday the 30th of June as we stand with the people of Sudan in their
struggle for " Freedom, Peace and Justice" and to commemorate the lives lost on the
infamous massacre of 3rd of June when the military opened fire on peaceful protestors.
---- Since December 18th 2018, the people of Sudan had begun a long campaign of civil
disobedience and peaceful protests to overthrow a 30-year long brutal dictatorship. On
April the 12th of this year they were successful!! They had forced Dictator Omar Al Bashir
to step down. Unfortunately, the Transitional Military Council that currently holds de
facto power is still run largely by members of the old regime.
Since April 6th the people of Sudan had peacefully occupied the military and government
headquarters through organised sit-ins and following the 12th of April they continued with
civil disobedience to ensure a civilian transitional council.
On June 3rd, with the secured funding of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, the
paramilitary and mercenary group The Rapid Support Forces that are led by Mohamed Hamdan
Dogalo (Hamadti) opened fire on the peaceful protestors and forcibly dispersed the iconic
sit-ins. In doing so killing well over 150 peaceful protestors injuring thousands, with
over 50 cases of rape (men and women) and disposing of well over 40 bodies in the Nile.
Following the #MattarBlue social media campaign of changing ones profiles to blue to show
solidarity with the people of Sudan, On the 30th of June Auckland will join London,
Sydney, Melbourne, NY, DC and numerous other cities in a global show of solidarity with
the people who have not only been silenced through violence but also by having their
access to the internet shutoff since the 3rd of June. The military is trying to silence
the people's voice and call for democracy through a complete internet blackout but it's
our role to help their voice reach all corners of the world.
This Sunday 30th of June, join us at Aotea Square, Auckland from 1 to 3 pm and show your
support to the people of Sudan. Join public figures like Rihanna, Naomi Campbell, J Cole,
Ariana Grande and numerous politicians and celebrities in voicing your solidarity with the
people of Sudan.

The COA 2019 anarchist camp is inspired by the libertarian camp of Leon's comrades. It is
open to anyone who recognizes himself in or is interested in anarchist ideas. On the basis
of solidarity, mutual help, free association, self-organization, direct action in every
sense, and therefore against any attempt to mask it (elections, executivism, municipalism,
etc.) against the power, patriarchy, state and capital. The intention is to experiment
with anarchy in the course of 3 days. Especially in the authoritarian social climate in
which we live, which is increasingly worsening, there is a need to mark our real practice
for freedom, absence of domination and individual and collective autonomy.
... To strengthen the struggle for freedom and against all authority
The COA's anarchist camp, in a warm and relaxed environment, will consist of days filled
with debates, discussions, practical workshops, recreational activities, with the goal of
sharing ideas, news, experiences, food, laughter, and everything that happens to us , that
lead us to deepen individual and collective relations, and lead us to find perspectives
and means that can accelerate the overcoming of the established order.

Belarusian cops pretend they are fighting with neonazism, when arresting subcultural
nazis, or imposing the laws, banning swastika.
But in the same time the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Belarus is well-known by its
homophobic and racist statements, following the cult of the Lukashenko and defending the
authoritarian state.
Here our comrade Mikola Dziadok proves that Belarusian cops, or "militia" are the real nazis.
Do not forget to turn on English subtitles!

Fifty years ago LGBTI struggles entered a new era with the Stonewall riots. Today, while
2018 was a dark year for LGBTI people, there is still nothing to expect from the powers.
---- On June 28, 1969, as usual, police raided a New York bar frequented by LGBT people,
Stonewall. But this time, the police violence will find an unexpected response, for
several nights LGBT people will hold the street against the cops, it is the riots of
Stonewall. A year later, the first Pride Parade was held. ---- The Stonewall riots were
the starting point for a period of rich struggles for LGBT rights at the time when
homosexuality was penalized and treated as a psychiatric illness. 50 years later, where
are we ? While advances and rights have undeniably been won at the price of fierce
struggles, the need for radical, massive and offensive LGBTI struggles is tragically felt.
LGBT migrants at risk
74 countries in the world still penalize homosexuality and / or transidentity. In some
countries, it is the death penalty. Migrants from these countries who arrive in France and
need to acquire refugee status are abused by the French administration. Their extremely
painful stories are always questioned by the authorities. To send them back is to promise
them death. We must welcome them all, like other migrant people.
We must therefore fight against racist speeches that try to make believe that homophobia
comes from migrants ! Should we remember that the year in which the homophobic acts were
the highest is the year 2013, when the Manif for All was at its peak ? It is a masquerade
that serves both to ignore French homophobia and to blame the migrants.
2018, a black year for LGBT people
The SOS Homophobie association publishes each year a report on homophobic acts declared in
France. In 2018, and for the third year in a row, LGBTphobic attacks are up 15 % ! Proof
that homophobia is not going back in our country.
Internationally, this year was also marked by the terrible waves of persecution and
torture in Chechnya. Or the arrival of homophobic Bolsanero at the head of Brazil, where
420 LGBT people were murdered in 2018. Everywhere and all the time, only our struggles
will advance our rights. Our solidarity and our fight must be international !
Do not expect anything from power
The government's austerity policies have direct consequences that directly affect LGBT
people: budget cuts for associations fighting against homophobia and transphobia, reducing
the number of foster care spaces for LGBT family breakers or further decline in funding
for AIDS care and prevention policies. Trans people are particularly affected because they
are often the most vulnerable.
But it's not just about defending oneself, it's about making offensive demands. The
opening of the right to the PMA (Medically Assisted Procreation) for all is a major issue.
Today, PMA can only be performed in France for a heterosexual couple. To open it to
lesbian couples and single women is to accept that you can start a family without the
participation of a man. As expected, the Macron government seems less determined to apply
this measure of its program than its anti-social reforms ! It's up to us to put pressure
on him.
We have nothing to expect from governments and powerful, as gay-friendly as they can let
it appear. Capitalism is about to undergo new major crises, as each time the rights of
LGBTI people, as racialized people or women will be challenged. So 50 years after
Stonewall, our struggles must find the offensive !
