Hey all, friends of ours are co-organizing a big Palestine fundraiser taking place at Bum (Paul-Linke-Ufer 21) to raise money for two grassroots mutual aid funds in Gaza operated by their Palestinian & Egyptian friends. One is for critical emergency essentials (https://t.me/+gvm8F6tmpyNkMDU0), and another a mobile school that offers psychosomatic education to children who can one day help to rebuild their society (https://www.gofundme.com/f/fpd9k-schools-without-borders)

They've got a full program led by majority Palestinian & Arab artists, researchers and activists - live musicians, DJs, talks on AI & tech’s impact on Palestine, poetry, a Dabke dance workshop, Tatreez making, food and more.

They really need a lot of people to come support to help the funds reach their targets! Hope to see you there

📢 From 19 to 22 March, Disruption Network Lab will hold a four-day conference to assess and discuss the concrete impact of WikiLeaks on war, the military system, intelligence and cybersurveillance, government and diplomatic cables, global economy and art and culture. What remains of this spirit today, and why has this work been so important? How have society and politics changed since WikiLeaks began operating on a global scale? Thirty speakers will discuss the impact and legacy of WikiLeaks materials and leaks at the theater HAU Hebbel am Ufer (HAU1) in Berlin, followed by an activation event where possible future strategies will be shared.

What is the photo behind our poster « Exposing Crimes is not a Crime »?
On April 5th, 2010, WikiLeaks has released a classified US military video shot from an Apache helicopter gun-sight. It depicts the indiscriminate slaying of two Reuters news staff and two young children who were seriously wounded after the attack.

Reuters sought the video via a Freedom‑of‑Information request but never received it. The military didn’t disclose how the Reuters staff died or how the children were hurt. After Reuters pressed for an inquiry, the U.S. military investigated and concluded the soldiers’ actions complied with the law of armed conflict and its own Rules of Engagement.

On their website, Wikileaks stated: « WikiLeaks wants to ensure that all the leaked information it receives gets the attention it deserves. In this particular case, some of the people killed were journalists that were simply doing their jobs: putting their lives at risk in order to report on war. Iraq is a very dangerous place for journalists: from 2003- 2009, 139 journalists were killed while doing their work. »

On March 19, Disruption Network Lab invited 5 whistleblowers and journalists to discuss the impact of Wikileaks on War and military, beyond the 2010s.
