Fukušima

Due to aggressive repression tactics by local security forces, unfortunately the anarchist bookfair is seeking a new location outside of Latvia. If anyone believes there is some way to safely organize it at Fukušima while fulfilling all official requirements, let us know in a private message.

Welcome to The Baltic Anarchist bookfair!
As you might have noticed we have changed our name to "Baltic Anarchist bookfair". The last two years of the bookfair have been so fun, educational and international. That's why we have decided to bring the bookfair to the Baltics! This will give us the opportunity to involve more Baltic comrades, ideas and sellers. The unity between the peoples' of the Baltic is uniqe and special. And we want to cherish this unity, especially at these times, when our societies are being divided, and their parts - isolated.
We have changed our name, but not our values and goals (the website domain and our email will also stay the same [email protected]).
Another reason why, for now the bookfair can't keep happening in Latvia is the increasing repressions against activists and leftists, and overall authorianism. Palestine actions have been shut down, local community spaces lost and no public events can happen without the explicit permission from the municipality. Sadly, we don't have enough human resources and public support to do the bookfair in Latvia and risk our safety and the safety of the participants. For 2026 the bookfair will move to either Estonia or Lithuania (news will follow as soon as we have it figured out). The open call for the next fair should be out soon and we hope that you will stay with us, keep attending and resisting!
Hopefully the political state of Latvia will change and we will be able to organise it there from time to time!

See you at the bookfair

29.10.2025 / 18.00 pie Saeimas ēkas

"Izstāšanās no Konvencijas pret vardarbības apkarošanu nozīmētu atkāpšanos no demokrātijas un cilvēktiesību principiem, signalizējot, ka valsts ir gatava pievērt acis uz vardarbību un nevienlīdzību. Šāda rīcība iekļaujas autoritāros procesos, kuros “tradicionālo vērtību” un “dzimuma ideoloģijas” retorika tiek izmantota, lai ierobežotu cilvēktiesības, sašķeltu sabiedrību un apklusinātu mazāk aizsargātas grupas," norāda protesta rīkotāji.

Rīkotāji uzsver, ka likumprojekts tiek izmantots arī kā instruments, lai vērstos pret transpersonām un citām neaizsargātām sabiedrības grupām, veidojot maldīgu priekšstatu, ka viņu tiesības apdraud sabiedrību, lai gan patiesībā tās to stiprina.

Vairākas nevalstiskās organizācijas aicina pievienoties protestam pret Latvijas izstāšanos no Stambulas konvencijas. Protests notiks 29. oktobrī, kad Saeimā 2. un galīgajā lasījumā tiks skatīts likumprojekts par konvencijas denonsēšanu.

‼️ Zemkopības ministrija šobrīd plāno vēl vairāk palielināt koku ciršanu. Tas nozīmētu vairāk kailciršu, jaunāku koku ciršanu un ciršanu pat piejūras mežos!

Puse Latvijas mežu pieder valstij – mums visiem. Ja Tev rūp Latvijas meži, tieši tagad Tava balss ir jādzird valdībā. Parādi, ka nedod atļauju izcirst valstij piederošos mežus!

Nākamā vasara ir tuvāk, nekā šķiet!
Apsveram dažas jaunas šīs sezonas aktivitātes, kuru realizēšanai nepieciešami papildu darbinieki.

Daudzi no mūsu viesiem ir ierosinājuši labas idejas, kas pārsniedz mūsu pašreizējās iespējas: regulārais darba laiks un saunas, dienas pasākumi, publiski pasākumi ar bezmaksas ieeju, ekoloģijas darbnīcas un semināri, iekštelpu / aukstā laika pasākumu telpa un eirostandarta tualetes. Šie mērķi ir realizējami ar mērķtiecīgu bāra komandu - varam piedāvāt 'izbraukuma' vienošanos esošam SIA.

Ja esi uzticams, atbildīgs un cienāt unikālos izaicinājumus, ko rada sezonālā āra norises vieta - rakstiet uz [email protected] ! Mēs esam elastīgi un godīgi, vienojoties par detaļām, ja vien ir sakārtoti visi nepieciešamie dokumenti un atļaujas.

Fukušima is seeking collaborators!

Next summer is closer than it seems!
We are considering some new activities for this season that require additional staff to realize.

Many of our guests have proposed good ideas that are beyond our current capacity: regular opening hours and saunas, daytime events, public events with free entry, ecological workshops and seminars, an indoor / cold weather events space, and eurostandard WCs. These goals are viable with a dedicated bar team - we can offer an 'izbraukuma' arrangement for an existing SIA.

If you are reliable, responsible, and respect the unique challenges of operating a seasonal outdoor venue - write to [email protected] ! We are flexible and fair about agreeing any details, as long as all necessary documents and permissions are in order.

Jau astoto gadu pēc kārtas Latvijas Dabas Fonda pasludinātais gada biotops ir atrodams Fukušimā. Attīstības draudi ir reāli, taču tāpat ir iespēja pasludināt noteiktas vietas par aizsargātām saskaņā ar ES 30/30 stratēģiju. Ja vēlaties nodrošināt šai vietai nākotni, varat palīdzēt, veicot bioloģiskās daudzveidības apsekojumus un savienojot mūs ar dažādām vides organizācijām.

For the 8th consecutive year, the habitat of the year declared by Latvian Fund for Nature can be found at Fukušima. The threat of development is real, but so is the opportunity to declare certain sites protected under the EU 30/30 framework. If you want to ensure the place has a future, you can help by conducting biodiversity surveys and connecting us to various environmental organizations.

2025 – mala / edge
2024 – mitrāji / wetlands
2023 – kritala / deadwood
2022 – pilsēta / city
2021 – upju straujteces un dabiski upju posmi / river rapids and natural river sections
2020 – parkveida pļava / park-like meadow
2019 – veci vai dabiski boreāli meži [pirms kailcirtes] / old or natural boreal forests [pre-clearcutting]
2018 – dižkoki / ancient trees

Eutrophication = overabundance of nutrients in a water body, due to agricultural, industrial, and sewage runoff. Thanks to the farmers & factories of upstream Rīga, Jēkabpils, Daugavpils, Belarus & Russia, the entire Daugava has looked like this for several weeks.

Eutrophication affects also the lakes where Rīga sources its other drinking water. This research is from 24 years ago but the cyanobacteria blooms get worse every year.
