True Counterpower #5

This event will conclude the True Counterpower series with the ambition that the network of the True Counterpower body will continue its efforts and existence inside and outside the walls of the museum. During this day we welcome organisations and participants who have been part of the True Counterpower series since its beginning, for a day of celebrating being together in a common struggle. We invite you all to a day of exchange, sharing of tools and a manifestation of solidarity between the forces of True Counterpower in the Netherlands and beyond.
