On May 19 an action against the bill №2646-1 took place in L’viv to give support to the All-Ukrainian action “We are for desired children.” The goal of the action was to deny any birth control of the state. The bill was proposed by the opposition party “Svoboda” (“Freedom”), which prohibits not only abortions but even considering them. The right-wingers are going to implement criminal liability in form of 3-7 years of imprisonment for both, a woman and a doctor for an abortion.… Continue reading

PAPELES PARA TODAS O TODAS SIN PAPELES
“Regarding the right to freedom of movement, the defendant is not a German and therefore does not have this basic right.” (German Judge in a trial about Residentzpflicht, February 2013)
Thousands of people, among them sambistas from Edinburgh, Vienna, Frankfurt, Kiel and Berlin supported the Refugee Revolution Demo on the 23rd of March in Berlin. No pink, no silver – these were plain clothed sambistas that mixed with the other protestors.… Continue reading
Call out G8 Northern Ireland
One Common Struggle
This June the leaders of the G8 (the world’s richest countries) are meeting in Northern Ireland. As economic crisis bites, and the planet burns, the bosses and their politicians are celebrating business as usual. Capitalism: a system that kills, exploits, and degrades the many for the profit of a few.
On June 10-18 we are organising a week of action and events in London. London is at the heart of global capitalism.… Continue reading
NO PASARÁN
13th of February, a mourning march was called by the german extreme right to happen in Dresden, at the anniversary of the Allies bombing of the city.
It was snowing. About 20 sambistas from Kiel, Hamburg, Leipzig, Heilbronn, Vienna, Berlin and Dresden came out to the streets to take direct action against the Nazi exhibitionism.

Dumstering at the Bremen carnival
Once more, like in the last 6 years, ror delivered radical politics to the samba carnival of Bremen. 30 RoR Sambistas and space creators from Bremen, Witzenhausen, Oldenburg and Berlin participated in the Sambodromo under the motto “fairkehrtewelt”, along with more than 60 other samba bands attended.
Every year a different motto is chosen by the carnival organization. RoR Bremen picks up the motto and makes a radical interpretation of it to rise awareness about an issue through cool dressings, a short performance and flyering the crowd.… Continue reading
Magdeburg antinazi blockades 2013
Samba everywhere, nazis raus!
RoR was in Magdeburg (Germany) for the antinazi blockades on the 12th of January 2013.
Some pictures of the day.
A developed strategy and capacity for adapting to very dynamic situations that we experienced that day, have shown that not in vain we have been doing the same shit for 12 years, and we are good at it!
The nazis will come back next year, so will we.
Website Relaunch
Hello world,
this is the new website of the Rhythms of Resistance network. The old version was really out of date so it needed a complete rework.
As you will find us rather in the streets than in front of a computer, this page does not claim to be totally up-to-date in the future. But at least we try.
