Housing Advice Hour and action at No Border Camp 2024

It is broadly recognized that we live in a time of unprecedented housing crisis. However, the cause of this crisis is still being debated in the political arena. Our recently elected far right government wants to convince us that migration is the main cause. Not only is this their favored scapegoat for every problem in our country, but it allows them to disguise their own failings. In fact, the impact of migration on housing is infinetely small compared to that of around 20 years of neoliberal policy. It is our government that cannot provide adequate social housing. It is their friends in the real estate business who continue to exploit this crisis for their own gain. Don’t let them blame this on migration!

Stop the eviction of Van Baerle Voor Buuren

Amsterdam is increasingly losing its soul and integrity. Once a city for and by the people, now a city for project developers and big capital. Communities that have shaped the city and are being driven out for the sake of profit margins. The resident group Van Baerle Voor Buren, however, is one of the last bastions standing in the gentrified Museum Quarter. The tenants come from diverse backgrounds and ethnicities and represent the aforementioned communities. However they might be forced out as well by H&R Holding, a major property investor in Amsterdam.
