#Sea Rescue

[antifainternational]

November 4, Amsterdam - Alarm Phone Benefit

It would be amazing if you can come. Even if it’s only to donate €7,50 so we can call 1 minute with those in distress at sea. Yes really, it costs seven euros and fifty cents per minute. Because we call on satellite phone. If you want to know more, come on saturday and get informed!

THE ALARM PHONE is an emergency hotline for people on the move who are in distress at sea. The aim is to support rescue operations and prevent human rights violations. The short-term focus is to ensure that rescue missions are carried out promptly and to prevent pushbacks and other violations. The long-term goal is to create open borders and freedom of movement for everyone. International phone calls are highly costly, requiring substantial amounts of money to keep this operation running and save lives.

So come out, donate your hard earned euros and dance to:

ONEGG – Analog Electronix! Amazing electronic music, synthesizer electro beats.

CLITTEBAND – Hilversum Punk - New new wave of metropolitan punk. Highly energetic, captivating and cool!

M4CHT – sweet DJ Set Seasoned Rotterdam punk turned super sweet electronic DJ poised to make bodies move!

É a história de um salvamento, de uma embarcação que partiu ao meio numa noite de temporal. A equipa de salvamento, apesar do temporal e dos escassos meios conseguiu salvar a tripulação, sendo até hoje o maior salvamento de pessoas num bote. A base da história é boa, mas a o tratamento das imagens é excessivamente digital, como a caracterização das personagens é frágil, e nada no filme, excepto a história, cria empatia.

I just learnt about them at my job (a community TV station) so I thought I should let you all know they are worth donating to.

In light of europe's inhumane migration policies getting more attention since the titanic spectacle, i wanted to share a few organizations which are worth supporting. These are all based in germany but please feel free to add more to the list.

Seebrücke donation link

Sea-Watch donation link

Pro Asyl donation link

Mission Lifeline donation link

They are always in need of donations as there are no sea rescue laws that would guarantee safe passage. Instead, borders are constantly being made more isolated and unaccessible, leading to thousands of deaths per year. For more information i recommend any of the sites about pages as well as the Pro Asyl news feed. Please contribute if you can.

According to NBC here in the US, the missing titanic sub has been found. As debris. Off the bow of the Titanic wreckage.

And it looks like the sub suffered what we all suspected, and what was undoubtedly the more merciful of the two options: a catastrophic implosion from the pressure.

Also, more info has come to light about the fishing trawler with the hundreds of migrants that sank cataclysmically off the coast of Greece, indicating that the greek coast guard knew about the vessel AND how much trouble the vessel was in, and were towing it at a speed that made it capsize, at which point they unhooked the tow line and watched the trawler sink without helping the passengers to safety. Despite a bunch of other ships trying to help as well throughout the whole ordeal.

So a lot of people are dead, all because of regulations (and the lack thereof) regarding sea-faring vessels and rescue protocols. People shouldnt be allowed to make a business charging a ton of money for a ride on an uncertified, unsafe, un-seaworthy ship going deep into the ocean with no distress beacon or tether to the mothership. People also shouldnt be allowed to enact laws that criminalize the ferrying of refugees, which then force the refugees to hitch rides on fishing trawlers, and which also prevent people from helping those fishing trawlers full of refugees due to fear of legal consequences.

Hopefully BOTH of these events spark changes on an international scale in terms of what is legally allowed to be sailed, who is legally allowed to be the passengers, and what the rescue protocols are in the event of disaster for any seafaring vessel, illegal or not. It shouldnt be just the global 1% who get 24/7 search parties and remote-operated submersibles helping rescue them.
