Planned for next November, SAVE BERLIN shall function as an agit-prop campaign against gentrification and other developments that have changed the cultural landscape of East Berlin. From Exberliner:

Twenty years ago the citizens of East Berlin brought down the Wall that divided their city in a peaceful revolution. Since then Berlin has developed into the city we love - an island of affordable civilization for outcasts and dreamers. But the city is also in danger! Mega-malls, fake Prussian palaces and luxury lofts are threatening to turn the city into a sterile global capital. Don’t let grey bureaucrats and investors lacking imagination shape our future. DO SOMETHING!
