Freedom Zone -- now in Munich 🕊

We invite you to a festival in support of political prisoners in Russia and their loved ones. Over the past three years, "Freedom Zone" has already taken place in 15 countries. This year, the festival will run in 20 countries over a single weekend, from Australia to the USA and from Armenia to Brazil. And for the first time, it comes to Munich on October 31!

We're coming together to learn more about the lives of political prisoners and their families, write them letters, and raise money for care packages, lawyers, and family visits. We'll also talk about the things that matter to us, meet friendly initiatives from Munich, listen to anti-war songs, think about the future, and finally meet in person the people from our local chats.

Program:💌 Letter corner: write a letter to a political prisoner📣 Fair of friendly NGOs and local initiatives: they'll tell you about their work, and you can ask questions and buy something to support political prisoners🎭 Performance by Sasha Skochilenko, artist and former political prisoner🎬 Film about the families and loved ones of political prisoners (in Russian with English subtitles)🎙 Public talk with Mikhail Lobanov, leftist activist and mathematician💸 Charity auction: all proceeds go to supporting political prisoners🗣 Panel discussion on a topic that's still secret, but very interesting (speakers to be announced soon!)🎶 Music set: songs by Monetochka, Okean Elzy, and other favorite artists🍸 Free mingling, food, and drinks

We'll announce the detailed program and talk topics later, so follow our channel for updates. In the meantime, save the date:
