__________________________

And here we included a rough packing list for the forest:

  • Solid shoes (closed shoes if you want to learn climbing)
  • A tarp or a tent (we have a few sleeping places to offer)
  • Warm clothes / warm sleeping bag (we have some stuff spare)
  • Coffee and peanut butter and other stuff for the kitchen if you can!

__________________________

Train

If you are coming by train, get the s19 (it goes from Cologne, also from Cologne/Bonn airport) to Düren and get off at Buir. (You can ride the s19 pretty easy without a ticket, they only rarely check). When you arrive at Buir station, walk down the steps and turn left (away from town) cross over the highway/railway for about 5 minutes till you reach a junction, turn left and from there after another 5 minutes or so turn right down a dirt track leading straight to the main forest entrance.

Car

You can park a car/van/caravan either at the main entrance to the forest (closest to the gathering itself) or at Hambi Camp, a legal camp in the nearby village of Morschenich, about a 40 minute walk away.

Hitchhiking

For hitchiking good stops to aim for are Merzenich junction off the A4 autobahn, which runs between Aachen and Cologne, Merzenich train station is just one stop from Buir. Or Frechen-konigsdorf Europark, off the A4. From here it’s not a far walk (good description on the Cologne hitchwiki) to Frechen train station which is a few stops from Buir, from here you can get the s19 direction Duren to stop Buir (see above).

…… When you get to the main forest entrance, just follow signs until you find us! Safe travels 🙂

Workshops/discussions

Featured

Hey people,

We wanted to say something about workshops/discussions. There are a few already confirmed. We are leaving space on the timetable for you to propose your own stuff. Email us if you want (maybe we can help with transport costs) or just add them to the timetable when you arrive. We find it really important to have this kind of anti-national exchange once in a while, but this also depends on your participation!

Now to say something about wheelchair accessibility and accessibility in general. The forest is not a wheelchair-accessible place but we would like the event to be accessible to anyone who wants to come. Send us an email and we will try to make it possible.

p.s. We are still looking for more people to help in the kitchen. If it’s something you’re interested to do, again shoot us a message.

Stay safe, stay dangerous!

Cya soon!

FOREST ANTI-SPE DAYS #4

Featured

ANIMAL RESISTANCE, SPREAD THE DESTRUCTION

JOIN US FOR A GATHERING FOR ANIMAL LIBERATION, AUGUST 17-20 2023, HAMBACHER FOREST

We send these words to our comrades, known and unknown, those who feel in their hearts that the death of speciesism needs fierce and uncompromising resistance, outside organizations of every sort, without wishes of reforming this wretched civilization.

Those looking for legalistic campaigns, vegan savourism or cop-hugging pacifism are in the wrong place. These days are about attacking human supremacism and its world, its technologies and ideologies, all the cages that attempt to oppress us – and which we can empower each other to escape.

We warmly invite you to the Hambacher Forest, still squatted after 11 years, to share skills, perspectives, stories, proposals, inspiration, love, rage… whatever we need to go further in our struggles for total liberation. You don’t need money and you definitely dont need to register. Just pack your bag and find us here in August!

Propose your workshops by email or once you arrive. Come early if you want to help set up. Bring vegan food for the kitchen and other fun stuff if you like/can (but there will be free meals for everyone). And stay well away if you have racist, sexist, transphobic or otherwise oppressive views and behaviour.

Wild friends of animal liberation, you are not alone. Let’s meet each other and have some fun!

Travel + workshops [english/français]

Oh what’s up antispeeeeeee people ????

Here’s an update on the access to the event in Hambacher forest and on the discussions and skillsharing to come !

Still happening from the 21st till 25th (caffeine heads update we now have lots of coffee! but if you’re into the fancy shit maybe bring your own (; and if you want/can, please bring vegetable milk and peanut butter etc for the mornings!). And a t shirt if you want a serigraphy of the event visual !

We’re super excited with this event and to meet new people who share similar hates and passions.

We are still available on the mail adress forestantispedays[at]riseup.net if you want to reach us.

See you !

Travel

When you arrive at Buir station, walk down the steps and turn left (away from town) cross over the highway/railway for about 5 minutes till you reach a junction, turn left and from there after another 5 minutes or so turn right down a dirt track leading straight to the main forest entrance.

You can park a car/van/caravan either at the main entrance to the forest (closest to the gathering itself) or at Hambi Camp, a legal camp in the nearby village of Morschenich, about a 40 minute walk away.

For hitchiking good stops to aim for are Merzenich junction off the A4, which runs between Aachen and Cologne, Merzenich train station is just one stop from Buir. Or Frechen-konigsdorf Europark, off the A4. From here it’s not a far walk (good description on the Cologne hitchwiki which for some reason doesn’t want to load) to Frechen train station which is a few stops from Buir, from here you can get the s19 direction Duren to stop Buir.

The s19 also goes from Colgone/Bonn airport and Cologne central station all the way to Buir, there’s usually no controllers (more likely on weekends) but it’s easier to spot them if you sit at the very back or front. There is also sometimes security on the train but they only check for covid masks.

A bit of us is dying for promoting any blablabla capitalist blablabla but the railway overlords of germoney, Deutche Bahn, have so kindly offered the general masses the 9 euro ticket! Which you can use for one month on all regional trains throughout germoney (no fast trains) with August being the last month you can buy one. One ticket means infinite travel for the month you buy it. You can buy with cash or card at any ticket machine in germoney or online. It seems most regional trains are now very busy because of these tickets which can maybe also help you if you don’t/can’t get one.

Version francaise

Salut les antispe ca va ou quoi ???????

Voila une mise a jour sur l’acces a la foret pour l’evenement et pour les discussions et partages de savoirs a venir !

Ca se passe toujours du 21 au 25 juillet, si vous pouvez, ramenez du lait vegetal et du beurre de cacahuete ! Et un t shirt si vous voulez une serigraphie du visuel de levenement !

On est super excite.es par cet evenement et de rencontrer de nouvelles personnes avec qui on partage des haines et des passions similaires.

On est toujours dispo sur l’adresse mail forestantispedays[at]riseup.net si vous voulez nous contacter.

A+

Accessibilite :
Quand vous arrivez a la station Buir, descendez les marches et tournez a gauche (a loppose de la ville) traversez le pont de lautoroute et de la voie ferree et au bout de 5min vous arrivez a un croisement, prenez a gauche et au bout de 5 min vous pouvez prendre a le chemin de terre a droite qui amene tout droit a lentree principale de la foret et plus loin a levenement

Vous pouvez garer une voiture un van ou une caravane soit a cette entree principale soit a Hambi Camp, un camp legal au village proche de Morzenich, a 40min a pied ou 5min de voiture.

Pour faire du stop il faut viser la sortie Merzenich de l’autoroute (autobahn 4), cette ville est a un arret de train de Buir. Ou viser la sortie d’autouroute 4 Frechen-konigsdorf Europark.

Le s19 va aussi depuis Cologne/Bonn aeroport et Cologne gare centrale vers Buir, normalement ya pas de controleur.euses (plus probable sur les weekend) mais cest assez simple de les reperer si vous vous asseyez tout au fond ou tout devant. Il y a parfois de la securite dans le train mais qui check juste si vous avez votre masque covid. Mais normalement c’est tres simple de le frauder.

On se deteste a promouvoir le capitalisme blablabla mais les grand.es chef.fes du ferroviere allemand, Deutche Bahn, offre si genereusement aux masses le ticket a 9 euros ! La periode du ticket est pour les mois de juin, juillet et aout sur tous les trains regionaux d’allemagne (pas les trains rapides). Le ticket achete dure juste le temps du mois ou tu l’as achete pour autant de trajets que tu veux, donc tu dois en racheter un autre au debut du mois d’apres.

Tu peux l’acheter en cash ou par carte a n’importe quelle machine a ticket en allemagne ou en ligne. Il semblerait que la plupart des trains regionaux sont tres occupes a cause de ces tickets, ce qui peut aussi vous aider si vous voulez pas en acheter.

Voila le lien…une partie de nous meurt quand on appuie sur ‘coller’.

https://www.bahn.com/en/offers/regional/9-euro-ticket-en

L’evenement est accessible en fauteuil roulant.

Un espace FLINTA existe pour les personnes qui en auraient besoin (meuf, lesbiennes, intersexe, non binaires, agenres)

Le temps change rapidement, amenez des vetements un peu chaud et de pluie !

Pas de comportements oppressifs acceptés.

Venez comme vous pouvez et on se voit bientot :)))

FOREST ANTI-SPE DAYS #3

Featured

CHAOS AND RAGE, SMASH EVERY CAGE

BORDERLESS CALL:

JOIN US IN THE HAMBACHER FOREST FOR A GATHERING FOR ANIMAL LIBERATION!

In the factory farms and vivisection labs, our nonhuman comrades are already fighting back. The time is ripe – let’s share skills and perspectives on how to support their resistance! By “anti-speciesism” we don’t mean online activism, vegan capitalism or cop-hugging pacifism – we’re opening a space to plot against human supremacism, and we’ve no need for bureaucratic organizations of any kind.

Many animal rights groups have become a hotbed for fascist/homophobic/cissexist/macho/white supremacist/colonialist views and behaviour. Others promote liberalism, the state or single out human activists as animal “saviours”. We want to build on two years of anti-spe days explicitly pushing against these tendencies, uncompromising in our rejection of all forms of oppression and domestication. Let’s meet each other and make some trouble!

You can find us again in the Hambacher Forest, one of Europe’s largest autonomous spaces, still squatted after almost 10 years. (It’s a forest so be ready to camp).

We want the workshops to be more horizontal this year – you can help us by proposing your own! Some ideas we have so far:

– First aid/veterinary care for other animals

– Action planning/scouting

– Hunt sabotage

– Tech workshop

– Sharing international struggles

– Anti-civilisation anarchy + anti-speciesism

– Animal liberation + chaos

– Open discussion on abolishing pets

– Graffiti skillshare

– Self-defence

– Action climbing

– Movie night

– Theater performance (!?)

– Open mike night

Pack a sleeping bag – and coffee and peanut butter if you got it! Make it here however you can and see you in July!

More workshops/other info to be announced over next while. And be in touch if we can answer questions or otherwise help.

Make trouble + have fun (;

What to bring and to expect

Featured

FRANÇAIS EN DESSOUS

Hey people,

We’re two weeks away from the event! So we wanted to update you with some info on what to bring/expect of the gathering.

WHAT TO BRING: Your rage! Also a sleeping bag + mat, tent, personal cup + cutlery, waterproof clothing, a headtorch (with red light included is better). Also texts for the distro, if you got some. Info from your struggles, and proposals for discussions would be great as well.

ACCOMMODATION:
There will be communal structures for those who need it. (These could easily get full, so coming with a tent is nice). There is also a FLINTA* (female, lesbian, intersex, nonbinary, trans, agender) camping area/communal structure for those who want it.

FOOD: We will be providing vegan food for everyone. You are welcome to make a donation to the kitchen but this isn’t expected. For anyone with the easy possibility to donate food (also coffee!!) that would also be cool.

COPS: Previous anti-spe gatherings in the forest suggest the cops are also pretty into the topic. They might hang around a bit at times – be prepared. (Previously they tried to ID control some people, but usually you can sneak around).

CORONA: Please try not to bring corona to the forest. Masking up is anyway a good idea. We will have a limited number of rapid tests for free/donation for people who want them. The event is open air and very well ventilated.

p.s. You’re welcome to come early! And to stay longer if you want. Help with setting up/packing down is a great way to help the organizers.

p.p.s. A timetable of workshops will be posted online a few days before the event begins.

FINDING US…


BY TRAIN:
The nearest train station is Buir, which is a roughly 20 minute walk from the edge of the forest. Buir station can be accessed via the S19 train route, which runs between Cologne and Düren.

When you arrive at Buir station, walk down the steps and turn left, cross over the motorway (walking away from the town). Mostly people turn left at the junction 5 minutes from there, and from there after another 5 minutes or so turn right down a dirt track leading straight to the main forest entrance. (You can also go straight ahead at the junction instead, walking about 20 minutes down a road, turning left into the forest towards the end of it).

BY CAR:
You can park a car/caravan either at the main entrance to the forest (closest to the gathering itself) or at Hambi Camp, a legal camp in the nearby village of Morschenich, about a 40 minute walk away. Those hitchhiking should leave the A4 autobahn, which runs between Aachen and Cologne, at the Merzenich junction. The Merzenich train station is just one stop from Buir, or you can go for a longer walk from there.

We also remind you that you can easily contact us on wire, for questions and such : “forestantispedays”. As explained HERE

As always : no hippies, no yuppies, no liberals !

Against speciesism !

Smash MBR !

See you soon people!!

FRANÇAIS :

Salut tout le monde !

Plus que deux semaines avant l’événement ! Voilà quelques mises à jour à propos de ce que vous devriez amener et ce à quoi vous devez vous attendre.

CHOSES À AMENER : Votre rage !! Amenez aussi de quoi dormir (sac de couchage, isomat, tente par exemple, etc) . Vous couverts et assiettes personnelles, si possible. Des vêtements antipluie. Une lampe (qui éclaire en rouge ça serait encotre mieux). Si vous avez, des textes et zines pour le stand. Des infos sur vos luttes et des propositions de discussions ça serait bienvenu aussi.

POUR DORMIR : On a des structures communes pour les personnes qui en auraient besoin (les personnes venant sans tentes par ex) mais elles risquent d’être complète très vite si tout le monde dors dedans. Donc si vous pouvez amener votre propre tente, c’est mieux. Un espace FLINTA (Meufs, lesbiennes, intersexes, nonbi, trans, agenres) sera aussi dispo.

BOUFFE : Il y aura à manger pour tout le monde. Les donations sont bienvenues mais pas obligatoires. Les personnes en capacité de ramener de la bouffe peuvent le faire aussi. (Amenez du café svp !!)

KEUFS : Les événements précédents ont donné lieu à une présence de keufs accrue autour de la forêt. Il se peut qu’ils décident de contrôler sur les routes autour. Sachez-le. (Il est arrivé qu’ils essayent de faire des contrôles d’identité, mais géneralement, les gens arrivaient à les éviter en se baladant un peu.)

COVID : Faites comme vous pouvez pour pas l’amener avec vous. Porter un masque est une bonne idée de toute façon (Masque chirurgicaux comme masque couleur charbon pour pas être reconnaissable tout court. Les masques “FFP2” sont obligatoires dans les trains et bus en allemagne par ailleurs)
On aura des test rapides dispo aussi, mais limités. L’événement se passe en plein air et sera très bien ventilé. Surtout en cas de cyclone.

ps : Si vous voulez venir plus tôt, c’est pas un problème. Restez aussi longtemps que vous voudrez. Si vous voulez aider au montage/démontage les personnes organisant tout ce tintamare vous en remercieront !

Un planning des ateliers sera mis en ligne quelques jours avant le début de l’événement.

POUR NOUS TROUVER :

EN TRAIN : La gare la plus proche est BUIR, à en gros 20 minutes de marche. Vous pouvez y accéder avec la ligne S19 de la S-BAHNHOF, qui relie Cologne à Duren.

À votre arrivée en gare de buir, descendez les escaliers et allez à gauche. Traversez le pont au-dessus de la quatre-voies (en vous éloignant de la ville). Après le pont, allez tout droit jusqu à un croisement. Au croisement, continuez à gauche jusqu’au grand panneau bleu. Au panneau, tournez à droite et marchez jusqu’à atteindre la forêt.

EN VOITURE : Se garer est possible soit à l’entree principale de la forêt (option la plus proche de l’événement) soit près du “Hambi Camp”, un camp légal dans le village de “Morschenich”, à environ 40 minutes a pied.
Les personnes venant en stop doivent sortir de l’Autobahn A4 entre Cologne et Aachen, à la sortie “Merzenich”. La gare de Merzenich est pas loin non plus, à juste un arrêt de celle de BUIR. Vous pouvez aussi marcher de Merzenich à l’événement.

On vous rappelle aussi que vous pouvez nous contacter facilement sur WIRE, pour les questions etc : “forestantispedays”. Comme on l’explique ICI.

Comme toujours : Pas de hippies, de yuppies ni de libéraux !

Contre le spécisme !

Contre MBR !

A très bientot !!
