Our collective was founded in the beginning of 2022. In our group there are currently about forty people from different countries in Europe and Latin America. Some of us have been working on ships professionally for years, others have little sailing experience. We come from different political struggles, ranging from environmental topics to queer-feminist struggles to the struggles for Freedom of Movement.
We have consciously chosen the path of networking and organizing with other activists from many parts of the world right from the start. Even if this makes some processes more complex, for example we have to provide simultaneous translations for our meeting, it is our conviction that this is the only way to build an organisation that is shaped by the different perspectives of all and does not only find answers from a European perspective.
Regardless of this, the people who are currently most active in our collective come from Europe.
