Bologna – Smash Repression – Street Rave Parade Vol.II – April 22, 2023 [EN]

Start from Giardini Margherita/Porta Santo Stefano, 14.00 h
end in Parco Nord, Via Stalingrado, 81, 23:23 h
We are back to the streets after last December’s event, when thousands of people, in Italy as in France, poured into the centers of several cities dancing together to the beat of the bpm.
We want to return to dance to affirm that we are not inclined to the commodification and repression of our bodies and wishes. We chose the street to reaffirm that we do not accept, neither the anti-rave law decree, nor the annihilation that affects not-conformable forms of life.
We will parade through the streets of Bologna against the criminalization of dissent and free expression, alongside those who are fighting against a state that seeks to annihilate all forms of opposition and resistance, in the same days when we commemorate the liberation of Emilian cities from the Nazi-fascist invasion..
Our cry is against the society of control and the prison system, we bring our solidarity to Alfredo, Anna, Juan… and to anyone , individuals and collectives, who will not stop fighting despite the heavy prison sentences they have received.
Through self-management we build increasingly safe spaces for everyone, by sharing transfeminist and antiprohibitionist practices; we fight against patriarchal oppression that punishes those who do not become meeks.
We claim the legitimacy of opening up spaces for freedom of initiative and expression, by taking care of our respective subjectivities.
That is why we meet again in the streets and squares
crying ‘SMASH REPRESSiON’! Let’s give them the party they need! 🙂 🙂
