[rohrpost] Berlin als Technopolis: SILENT WORKS Warm-up Event am 23.9.

[Krystian Woznicki]

Hallo rohrpostler,

ich möchte Euch zu einer Podiumsdiskussion mit Aktivist*innen von
"Berlin vs. Amazon" und "Berlin Tech Workers Coalition" einladen. Dies
ist eine englischsprachige Warm-Up-Veranstaltung zu dem Berliner Gazette
Ausstellungs- und Konferenz-Projekt SILENT WORKS
(https://silentworks.info) und wird von Magdalena Taube (Berliner
Gazette) moderiert.

*Berlin as Technopolis*

Big tech is using the Covid-19 pandemic to take over Berlin. Amazon, for
instance, one of the biggest profiteers of the crisis, is turning its
logistical empire into ‘critical infrastructure.’ Meanwhile, workers are
being romanticized as an ‘essential’ labor force in order to suppress
their bargaining power: ‘heroes’ are expected to sacrifice themselves
for ‘the greater good’ rather than go on strike. This big tech-driven
neo-feudalism is crowned by Amazon’s soon-to-be erected tower in the
heart of the city. How can workers, that is: how can we, join forces
against the rising Technopolis?

This event takes place in cooperation with and in the context of MODELL
BERLIN.
