What is this project all about?

Our action is for the benefit of the families of political prisoners in Chile. For more than a year, the Chilean people have been protesting for reforms to reduce the enormous political, social and ecological inequalities. Among the demands are the deprivatization of water, a solidary pension and health system as well as better access to education. The government has responded to the protests with severe repression: More than 30 demonstrators were killed, Mehr anzeigen

What is the project goal and who is the project for?

Our donations go to a non-profit organization in Chile: "Coordinadora 18 de Octubre por la liberación de lxs prisionerxs politicxs" - Coordination of activities in favor of political prisoners "October 18th". October 18th is the beginning of the social protests in Chile in 2019. The "Coordinadora" was founded in October 2019 and bundles nationwide civil society activities in favor of political prisoners and their families. Its supporters gather informationMehr anzeigen

Why would you support this project?

In times of social isolation, general insecurity and individual financial worries, it is not easy to collect donations. But our experience so far has shown us that caring for others has something hopeful about it. To give away one's scarce time and money for people who have had everything taken away from them, but who do not lose their courage and creativity, is a constructive act.

With the movement in Chile, you support a social project that is searching fMehr anzeigen

How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?

The final amount of donations will be transferred to Chile at the end of 2020; we will cover the transfer costs. Neither we nor the "Coordinadora" charge administrative costs. Accordingly, 100% of the donations directly support the political prisoners and their families. We will report in our blog and on our Facebook page when the donations have arrived in Chile and how they will be used there.

Who are the people behind the project?

We are Acciones Berlin, an informal collective that supports the social movement in Chile from Berlin. We started collaborating in Berlin in October 2019 and regularly organize information, cultural and political events, and send financial support to various partner initiatives in Chile. We are independent of political parties. Our members work voluntarily.
