Fun fact: in the 80′s the Dutch Unemployed Union held ‘fridge raids’ to protest against poverty.
They’d find out when a politician of big boss who upheld poverty and starvation wages was speaking at some public even, then they’d carefully break into his house with a LOT of people and they would eat EVERY piece of food in his house and leave the empty dished behind without taking anything else.
Direct action at its finest.
We should bring this back.
Except it wasn’t the unemployment union that organised the protest, it was an action of individual teenagers. When the union organised those raids again 5 years later they didn’t actually happen.
SOMEONE ELSE WHO KNOWS ABOUT THESE EVENTS 😀 😀 😀
Do you remember where you heared/read about them? do you have any advise where I could read the things you found? I came across this in little snippets while I was doing research on a totally different protest. I never thought this little Tumblr post would get so popular and I’ve been trying to piece together a more detailed account of what happened ever since but sources are scarce.
