Berliner Reggae-Location in Gefahr


Aufgrund des Interesses eines deutschen Projekteentwicklers steht die Existenz des Yaam am Ostbahnhof akut auf dem Spiel. Das Bezirksamt Friedrichshain / Kreuzberg hat uns darüber informiert, dass es konkrete Hinweise gibt, die für die Bebauung des Geländes am Stralauer Platz sprechen, wo das Yaam seit über 8 Jahren erfolgreich ein multikulturelles, soziales Projekt mit den Schwerpunkten Familie und Jugend, Integration, Sport, Musik, Graffiti u.v.m. betreibt. Wir bitten Euch, diese Petition zum Erhalt des Yaam zu unterschreiben.

The YAAM project by the river Spree is under urgent threat to be closed down! We demand the preservation of this open space! Please sign this petition against the closure of the YAAM and support our cultural and youth work! Spread the word!

† Lloyd Brevett of the Skatalites

Lloyd Brevett did not survive his son for very long. According to the Jamaica Gleaner, he died today at the age of 80. In the Jamaica Observer, his wife “said the 80-year-old’s health had rapidly deteriorated following the shooting death of his son, Okine, in the early hours of February 26 near his home in Seaview Garden, St Andrew, where the family lived.” Lloyd has touched millions of hearts and will always be remembered as one of Jamaica’s greatest. Condolences to his family.
