a.k.a. the Amsterdam Conference, a.k.a. the Netherlands Conference

In early September 2026, organizers from dozens of groups in Europe gathered in the Netherlands to discuss strategic coordination.

We used the Conference as part of a reiterative process. So, we had an ambitious preparatory process and we aim to follow up the strategic construction afterwards.

We focused our attention on four main topics that have high relevance for movement-level thinking currently: the climate justice movement; Big Tech and artificial intelligence; militarization, war and imperialism; and borders and migration.

Here are some of the conclusions of the working groups.

In the climate justice movement:

• We see the need to build a large social base for the movement by organizing the frontline communities of the climate crisis. We are inspired by the International Movement of Peoples Affected by Dams, Socio-environmental Crimes, and the Climate Crisis, an international construction process initiated by social movements in Latin America.
• We want to establish a network of rapid response the climate disasters, which would combine material solidarity, narrative interventions and supporting organizing efforts.
• We acknowledge the need for a coordination space for discussion, decision and reflection on our strategies. We are intrigued and excited by the possibilities offered by the United for Climate Justice

On militarization, war and imperialism:

• We are keen to connect various aspects of the militarization and war economy in Europe. We will join the European mobilizations on 20-22 November “Fight for Our Future, Not Their Wars” initiated by the youth movement and already gathered wide support from various social movements. We are commited to using the mobilization as a movement building opportunity.
• We reject the escalated agression by the US as well as the economic, political and social collaboration and cumplicity of the European states in this project.
• We see ourselves as part of an international solidarity movement against imperialism. Our solidarity is always informed by the concrete requests by local comrades and is directed at building a trust relationship. In this context,
  • we support the solidarity brigades for Venezuela, as well as
  • Raiz International’s campaign “Amor con Amor se Paga” in solidarity with Cuba.
  • We are also commited to educate ourselves about the revolutionary processes taking place in the Sahel region.

On Big Tech and artificial intelligence:

• We will confront the narrative of Big Tech companies that relies on mistification of artificial intelligence, higlighting the material and social infrastructure it depends on.
• We discussed concrete points of leverage connecting today’s material conditions to democratic control of technology, with strategic priority on
  • establishing self-managed infrastructure,
  • building workers’ power in workplaces either producing or adopting digital technology, to both resist and reshape it, and
  • increasing critical digital literacy within the movement and within the communities we organize.
• We are also committed to pushing back the anti-democratic and extractive agenda of Big Tech and their political representatives, by connecting the struggles against data centers.

On borders and migration:

• We commit to integrating the aspects of migrant justice, reparations and transformative justice in our praxis in all our movements.
• We acknowledge our need for narrative guidelines to educate us on how to approach the topic of borders and migration, as well as on how it affects our overall communication.

The above paragraphs are separated by topics. However, they are structurally interlinked and also coincide in our praxis. There are plent of strategic intersections, including:

• the overlapping action targets of technology companies involved in the military-industrial complex (tech + war);
• learning from the anti-ICE movement in the US (militarization + borders and migration);
• the frontline communities fighting against data centers (tech + climate);
• that a self-managed digital infrastructure only makes sense if there is active demand from all other movements.

In parallel conversations, we also reached some new places:

• We recognize the three pillars of mass movements (organizing, mobilizing and radicalization) and identify mass organizing and base-building as urgent tasks for our movements in the upcoming political conjuncture.
• We see resilience capability both as movement infrastructure as well as a movement culture, enabling our movements to grow under conditions of stress. We think of resilience as a strategic need and we think of resilience strategically.

We also commit to paying attention to the larger movement ecosystem, not only influencing it but also letting ourselves influenced by it. We mandate ourselves to

• anchor our international solidarity on the understanding that we the oppressed of the world have a shared demand and desire for justice;
• institute a culture of coordination based on building relationships that enable comradeship and trust; and
• produce strategy papers (with conclusions from the Conference, as well as ongoing reflections on movement-level thinking);
• organize political trainings that are strategy-driven and silo-breaking, in order to build a ruptural movement ecosystem; and
• continue the strategy conversation by actively using the mailing list of the movements in Europe.

We feel the urge and the responsibility to build a coordinated revolutionary movement in Europe that is articulated with the revolutionary struggles around the world.

N.B. The above items will have their own lives from here on. The Working Groups will wither away as we move on to concrete collaborations and projects. Any events, initiatives, articles which are of interest to everyone, we are happy to share on the All In website and newsletter. The Conference itself, on the other hand, will not have a structured follow-up. For any questions, you can reach us by email.
