Berlin's organizing landscape is rich but often threatened. Refugee rights groups, housing justice campaigns, anti-racist networks, and workers' movements frequently operate in isolation from one another. They are weakened by political repression, competing strategies, and gaps in solidarity across the broader left. This event is intended for organizers, campaigners, and grassroots initiatives, as well as cultural workers, researchers, and funders, who wish to transition from isolated efforts to a genuinely coordinated movement infrastructure.

The evening opens with an interactive panel. Organizers from Regularización Ya!, the nationwide coalition of migrant-led groups that spent six years building a single shared campaign for the regularization of undocumented people in Spain, meet organizers from migrant-led initiatives in Berlin. They talk about how coalitions hold together, how people are moved to act, and how momentum survives the long stretches between one win and the next. The panel then opens outward into a facilitated conversation in which the whole room takes part. A networking break follows, and the night ends with a live music performance by Siba & Monkyman.
We want to find the ground that communities hold in common when their struggles sit far apart on the map and still run on the same practices of care and resistance. This is a space in which political, cultural, and ecological knowledges meet and engage in dialogue. Mending the Net makes room for migrant justice movements to learn from one another and to turn six years of Spanish organizing into travelling tools that can keep the Berlin landscape from splintering.
The event is open to everyone. However, to help us keep track of the number of simultaneous interpreters needed for German, English, or Spanish, we ask that you please register briefly using this form.
On April 14, 2026 migrants gathered in El Raval to celebrate this collective victory together.
