Past events
November 24 – 26, 2023 | LEA offsite workshop in Potsdam
On Friday we started with a city tour through Babelsberg – many thanks to the Rotes Nowawes history workshop for the interesting insights into the history of the city. This time the focus was on the topic of strategy – we discussed various strategies and tactics of political action, the situation of the left and possible scope for action in the current environment. A focus was also on the “Turn off the tap for Tesla” alliance, which we co-founded in June 2023, and the further course of action. On Saturday we continued working on our position papers and discussed the topics of the state and antisemitism. On Sunday we focused on practical aspects, including our website, social media strategies, the process of having new members join and reaching out to like-minded left-wing groups for cooperations.

The meeting began on Friday with a small tour of the city with a representative of “Vernetzung Süd” and an introduction to the challenges of the initiative, which is committed to the issues of housing, rents and urban development in Connewitz and Südvorstadt. On Friday evening the topic of the Ukraine war was discussed again.
On Saturday, we took on the topics of anti-racism/colonialism and feminism/queer feminism to develop a joint basis for our position papers. The conclusion on Sunday was discussions about next steps, forms of action and networking.
