bus that is departing from the congress on the 31^st  of May

The "March For Freedom" is going to start on the 18^th    of May in Strasbourg. Refugees and supporters will cover a distance of 500 km when marching from Strasbourg (France) to Brussels (Belgium. There will be numerous actions and international border crossings on the way.
On the 31^st of May there will be a bus leaving the buko-congress to Perl-Schengen (Germany)to participate at the collective "border crossing" on the 1^st of June. The price for a solidarity-ticket will be around 15-25? per person, the bus departs around 11pm on the 31^st    of May from Leipzig to reach Schengen on the following morning. If required the bus is heading back to Leipzig in the evening of the 1^st    of June (still self-organised return, especially to other cities is favored). For people, who intend to travel back to other cities, there will be a forum for private car sharing).
Therefore, the request to people who have access to a car and who want to travel from the Buko in Leipzig to the "border crossing" in Schengen: go by your own cars in order to give other people a ride, so that even more people will be in Schengen.

Bus-tickets as well as a forum for rides in private cars to Schengen will be at the Buko-congress.

Confirmed registration for the bus untill the 25^th of May 2014 under the following email-address: marchforfreedom_leipzig@riseup.net  

Private cars, and people without cars, that intend to go to Schengen and/or back again to other cities, can inscribe in a calendar under the following link. teamup.com/ks1cf90ea0e240e04b/

Demonstration for a "right to the city"

On the 31^st of May there will be a huge, colorful and noisy demonstration through Leipzig which focuses on expulsion, evictions and the upgrading of the city. In particular it is about the specific plans of the city council to restructure (in fact: depopulation of the area,demolition of alleged dilapidated buildings)an area which is squatted by the "trailer place" Focke 88 . All this is happening in line with an urban development policy that more and more excludes participation from "below". Everybody from the Buko-congress is invited to join the demonstration!

Further information will be provided here soon.

City- tours

In the course of the congress there will be two city tours that focus on free spaces and subculture in Leipzig.

Further information will be provided here soon.
