“In a local and international environment where states, institutions, and people are transforming to cope with a dystopian landscape of crises and globalized conflict, can our societies truly succeed? And if so, how? With which social imaginaries and which social examples?” (Sykapro, 2026).
Right now, as Prosfygika faces another existential threat from the state, the Community resists by any means necessary. Our comrade Aristotelis Chantzis has been on hunger strike – until death – for 75 days now, for the defense of life. A second comrade will begin a hunger strike on May 1st.
There is an urgent need to unify our forces and act now for the defense of the community, locally and globally!
To open the issue to broader society, including perspectives from representatives of the Greek movement, the Community of Squatted Prosfygika will hold an event in Athens on Tuesday, April 21st.
In the invitation is stated:
“The struggle currently being waged by the Community of Squatted Prosfygika, including the hunger strike since 5/2/26 by Aristotelis Chantzis, does not concern only the survival of the community itself and its people. It raises crucial questions about our contemporary world.”
As internationalists who align with the vision the Community of Squatted Prosfygika creates, and who were already prepared to organize its defense in the past weeks, months, and years, we need to escalate our resistance towards the next level.
But why do we need to defend the Community of Squatted Prosfygika?
What does the Community mean for our social struggle locally, and what perspectives can we gain from it?
How can we foster strong movements that form a counter-force to the dominant culture of oppression?
On the event on April 26th, we, as the Internationalist Committee to Save Prosfygika, invite you to discuss these questions and to help define the next steps for how we move forward for the defense of the Community.
The Community of Squatted Prosfygika will present the current situation of the planned attack and the progress of its social self-defense.
The Internationalist Committee will be briefly presented, and we will hear from different organizations around the world about the mutual bonds and visions which already exist.

We encourage all organizations to organize public streaming in their localities.
For the first part of the event, press is invited.
We invite you, whether organizations and individuals, to join our event, mobilize in your localities, and participate in the discussion on how to connect the struggle, strengthen our mutual bonds, and defend Prosfygika.
The world only continues to exist if we share it!
Either we will win or we will win!
