Free The Soil: Protest

Dear friends of Grounded,

We have big news for you! In an action to protect the Lutkemeerpolder from a gigantic distribution centre, that is planned to be built on this land in Amsterdam, we are organizing a protest, and manifestation, coupled with a 4-Day camping experience, filled with workshops, diverse music, delicious food, and lovely people from our community. We want to give voice to the soil. Let's see, hear, and feel how our lives are determined by the way we treat the soil. Let's demonstrate our impatience with the slowness of change. Let's resonate with urgency through action, workshops, food, music, dance, and networking.

Lutkemeer belongs to us! Feel welcome to be part of something that must remain ours. Celebrate with us the love for the land and those who take care of it, humans and non-humans alike.

The area is already home to a diverse range of Community Supported Agriculture initiatives. They have generously invited us to camp there because they believe it will help showcase the importance of the land and allow it to flourish or create value for people and nature. Moreover, it will demonstrate that young people are actively standing up for this cause in a positive, constructive, and inclusive manner.
