Skillshare “Bust Bundeswehr advertising!” December 4-6, 2026

What is Adbusting? Adbusting? The Bundis all over the country are terrified of this. Because if people simply deface the Bundeswehr's advertising posters with paint, paper, scissors and paste beyond recognition, there won't be much left of the image of a safe, action-packed, good workplace. Instead, the changed posters then dominate themes such as death, murder, command, obedience and sexism. Skillshare? We want to practice this adbusting. In Berlin on the Skillshare weekend in theory and then in practice with a real action the week after around December 10th. This is International Human Rights Day. We want to use this date to advertise asylum for conscientious objectors with self-made posters in all the cities from which you come to Skillshare. We created our own posters using paint and paper. These are green like emergency exit signs. They also have the typical white door, arrow and human pictogram. But the pictograph dropped a steel helmet and a rifle in front of the emergency exit. The slogan “War Resisters Welcome!” is written in white on green on the poster.

A lot has happened in the last ten years thanks to defensive solidarity work. At that time, the GETZ counterterrorism center dealt with adbusting four times, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution warned of adbusting as a danger to the republic in its annual report for 2018, and the Berlin cops desperately kicked down the door in 2017 and 2018 to everyone and everything they could associate with adbusting. That has changed: In 2023, the Federal Constitutional Court declared house searches due to adbusting to be illegal. In Berlin, proceedings for adbusting have been stopped since 2020 if nothing was stolen or broken when hanging up self-produced posters. The Tübingen public order office tried unsuccessfully in 2025 to claim an administrative offense. In Schwerin there was even an acquittal in 2026.  Oldenburg? But in Oldenburg the public prosecutor's office just conducted a house search against self-printed adbustings. Shitting on verdicts from Karlsruhe is “usual procedure” there, says the public prosecutor’s office. Good chances We think that, given the legal situation in Oldenburg, we have a good chance of getting out of trouble if we then collectively defend ourselves appropriately against repression. But it is clear: successful protest in a democratic constitutional state initially leads to repression and a lot of work; This must be clear to everyone who gets involved politically in this way. Please note the talk on solidarity planned for Saturday, December 5th, 2026 in the program. Join in? You are asked: Get involved, get involved! This is a self-organized event.We would also like to do the rest DIY: cleaning up, making food, child care, awareness, etc. You and your groups can get involved here too. That's why we make a list at the beginning with different tasks, such as cooking, washing up, cleaning, in which everyone can write down. Then the repro work is spread across many shoulders. Money? Thanks to the DFG-VK Berlin-Brandenburg, we can rent a conference center and buy food for everyone. We welcome donations.  Please pay your travel costs yourself. If that doesn't work, please write an email toantimil_aktionsnetzwerk@riseup.net. Please do this if you cannot otherwise attend. We also collect the ashes and treat them discreetly in front of the other people.  When and where? If possible, please be at the venue by 5 p.m. This is about an hour away from the main train station. We will let you know exactly where you need to go after you registerantimil_aktionsnetzwerk@riseup.net Bring along? Duvet cover, pillowcase, bed sheet. No sleeping bags please (the conference center doesn't like it because they're afraid of bringing in bed bugs). It's a real conference center with real beds. Warm clothes; Berlin is cold in December. And rain gear. We also go out the door. program Friday, December 4th, 2026 5 p.m. Awareness Workshop In this workshop we agree to work together and explain important terms in awareness work. So much in advance: We expect respectful treatment from all participants; We respect the power of definition of those affected. We also appeal to our personal responsibility. Anti-Semitism, racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination have no place at this event. Anyone who gets cheeky when it comes to awareness gets thrown out. 6:30 p.m. Dinner 7:30 p.m. Suggestion: Practice action for asylum for conscientious objectors Thursday, December 10th. is Human Rights Day. On this day we want to draw attention to the human rights of asylum and conscientious objection with a nationwide adbusting campaign. We made posters ourselves. These are green like emergency exit signs. They also have the typical white door, arrow and human pictogram. But the pictograph dropped a steel helmet and a rifle in front of the emergency exit. The slogan “War Resisters Welcome!” is written in white on green on the poster. You can take them with you and illegally place them in advertising showcases in public spaces in your city with your gang without asking. You can find out how this can come true here. 8 p.m. Learning workshop on asylum and conscientious objection We are doing a learning workshop on asylum and conscientious objection. In small groups you will work through material on the topics of escape, asylum, conscientious objection, adbusting and action photography. This is the preparation for the action on December 10th.  Saturday, December 5, 2026 8.30 Breakfast (yes, it's early, we know). 9h Morning Round 9:30h Action Preparation Green Posters On Thursday, December 10th. It's Human Rights Day, and we want to invite you to hang up the green emergency exit posters mentioned in your cities. We discuss how something like this can work, how to organize it, how to define tandems and think about ways to do it. We also talk about fears and stuff.  11 a.m. Present a press release on the joint “Green Poster” campaign 2 p.m. Have lunch 4 p.m. Needs round and interim feedback: How has it been so far? 5-7pm Workshops  Workshop: Arguments for disarmament? Despite Russia? How do you apply pressure non-violently and without armament? B. Putin's regime to end the war in Ukraine and not attack any more countries? What is Social Defense? What opportunities do sanctions offer? Why are we still buying Russian gas instead of expanding renewable energy? Why don't we support those fighting the war with open borders? Why don't we cooperate with the opposition? Why is sharing fake news so popular in the peace movement instead of developing coherent positions on these issues? Antimilitarism and Israel? In view of the war in Gaza and the occupation of the West Bank, anti-Semitic positions are becoming increasingly popular in the peace movement. What can practical antimilitarism look like that does not ignore anti-Semitism and real political events and threats to Jews and Israelis in the Middle East? And how does this get an emancipatory perspective?  7 p.m. Dinner, warm vegan Maultaschen, salad 8:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.:How to press work?  Left and media work? This is a complex topic.Protest like adbusting functions as a socially effective means of struggle, especially on a discursive level. That's why we rely heavily on the media to communicate our actions. But across the movement there isn't a lot of know-how when it comes to practicality. That's why we want to make it clear here how important media work is for successful adbusting campaigns and anti-rep work. 8 p.m.: Discussion groups: How to solidarity? Unfortunately, dealing with repression in the left-wing scene far too often involves inability to act instead of making politics. Those affected primarily look for support and support in the group. Far too often the group looks back just as unsettled instead of providing support and political orientation. The principle of orienting oneself collectively towards the interests of those affected far too often degenerates into an excuse for doing nothing. In the hope of changing that, we would like to talk about how the big, all too often empty word "solidarity" can gain practical meaning with small actions. We look forward to hearing about your experiences and shared learnings.  Sunday, December 6, 2026: 8.30 Breakfast 9h Morning round and evaluation Action planning 11h-13h Learning workshop Arguments against the Bundeswehr With the following stations: - Refuting arguments for the BW - Arguments against the BW - Non-violent means of combat as an alternative to rearmament - BW advertising as a lever 13h Evaluation/perspectives 14h Eating leftovers Cleaning up 16h Everything finished                                    Barriers? The conference center can be reached by tram and on foot.  The portal has four levels. After that there is an elevator. Building a ramp is possible. There is a disabled-accessible wet room. There will definitely be all-gender and FLINTA toilets.  There are individual toilet rooms and rooms with several cabins. The language is mostly German. Because we mostly meet educated middle class children, an English translation is possible. Six and eight of us sleep in rooms with bunk beds. There is a Flinta room.   We would like to try to remove barriers that we hadn't thought of. Please feel free to write to us and we will try to find a solution. Awareness: It is important to us to treat each other as free of discrimination as possible and not to tolerate any oppressive conditions such as racism, sexism and anti-Semitism! We see awareness as a collective responsibility and want to make spaces safer together. There will be no professional awareness team at the weekend.  We will open the space at the beginning of the weekend to talk about awareness and needs and boundaries.  There is also an anonymous awareness complaint box and we consistently support the affected person in the event of allegations of assault.  We want to reflect and learn together about mistakes, because none of us are perfect and mistakes happen.  In order for this to feel safe for everyone, clear boundaries are needed. Anyone who intentionally discriminates or consciously violates boundaries is not welcome and will be thrown out. If you have any questions or requests in advance, please write to us. In terms of awareness, the Antimilitarist Action Berlin (amab), the legendary nucleus of the Antimilitarist Action Network (A2N), created an awareness concept for an earlier weekend that you can find here: >Link< Mehr Infos:  Aufruf: Adbusting-Aktion "War Resisters Wellcome!" zum Tag der Menschenrechte: https://antimil-aktionsnetzwerk.site36.net/2026/10/25/war-resisters-welcome-mitmachen-bei-adbusting-aktion/ What is the Antimilitarist Action Network (a2n)?https://antimil-aktionsnetzwerk.site36.net/2026/02/21/wir-sind-dann-mal-weg-warum-das-jugendnetzwerk-aus-der-friedensorganisation-dfg-vk-deseriert/
