<div><em>Transparency note: Consuelo’s name and gender differ from his legal documents, and we reject revealing his deadname or assigned sex as we fight the cisheteropatriarchal systems that weaponize bureaucracy against trans lives. Funds will be managed by Micaela Dans, Consuelo’s trusted friend, to cover his legal and survival expenses in jail, and direct cash support upon his release.</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dear friends, family and community,
</div>
<div>We’re reaching out as friends of Consuelo, a beloved member of our international community who has been unlawfully detained by German authorities since April 3rd. With no clear timeline for his release, we’re coming together to raise funds to support his survival now and his transition to stability after this unjust detention.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Consuelo is a black trans man from Murcia, Spain. He moved to Berlin in 2019, hoping to build a stable life and support his mother, sister, and nieces back home. Despite facing systemic racism and underpaid labor, he worked tirelessly until his arrest.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On the night of April 3rd, police stopped Consuelo without reason while he was driving. After moving his car slightly, he was handcuffed, mistreated, and arrested.
</div>
<div>He was then subjected to hours of degrading interrogation, with police repeatedly accusing him of carrying fake ID and misgendering him. He was forced to undergo invasive body checks, mocked for his gender identity, and held for additional days without access to a phone or any contact with the outside world. This treatment reflects a pattern of systemic violence against trans people, who are criminalized, disbelieved, and subjected to abuse by law enforcement.
</div>
<div>Furthermore, the charges against him are exaggerated and fabricated with false accusations.
</div>
<div>He is currently detained in the women’s unit at Pankow jail, where he is expected to remain for at least 3 months until trial.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The unlawful detention of Consuelo is the predictable violence of a system built on anti-Blackness, colonial dispossession, and transphobic dread. The prison industrial complex does not "rehabilitate"; it disappears the marginalized, cages the poor, and enforces the gendered/racial order through brutal force.
</div>
<div>We refuse this colonial tragedy and fight against a regime that pathologizes resistance and criminalizes survival. Prison is not a place of "justice", it is a site of racial capitalism’s bloodiest transactions, where Black, trans, and migrant lives are traded for profit and political spectacle. We reject the myth of "criminality".
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To support Consuelo, we’re raising €15,750 to cover:
</div>
<div>For his time of detention:
</div>
<div>Lawyer costs: 4000€
</div>
<div>Legal and trial costs: 1500€
</div>
<div>Rent incl. bills for 3 months: 3000€
</div>
<div>Supplies in jail, health insurance, phone bills, current medical expenses: 1500€
</div>
<div>Upon his release from jail:
</div>
<div>Rent until he can find an employment: 3000€
</div>
<div>Health insurance: 750€
</div>
<div>Food and daily necessities: 1500€
</div>
<div>Medical and other essential expenses: 500€
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Prisons are crimes. Policing is violence. Detention is torture.
</div>
<div>Every bail demand is extracted from our communities. This is not justice, this is the relentless machinery of cisheteropatriarchy’s violence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the spirit of trans ecofeminist abolition, we fight for transformative justice and against the world that builds prisons.
</div>
<div>Consuelo is a kind, caring soul and important person in our community, and we believe he should not be in custody. We stand by him and aim to support him. Please consider donating if you can, every little donation and share will help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your time and support.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In Solidarity,
</div>
<div>Consuelo’s friends

</div>
<div>Queridos amigos, familia y comunidad,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nos comunicamos como amigos de Consuelo, un querido miembro de nuestra comunidad internacional, quien ha sido detenido ilegalmente por las autoridades alemanas desde el 3 de abril. Sin una fecha clara para su liberación, nos estamos uniendo para recaudar fondos para apoyar su supervivencia ahora y en su transición hacia la estabilidad después de esta detención injusta.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Consuelo es un hombre trans negro de Murcia, España. Se mudó a Berlín en 2019, con la esperanza de construir una vida estable y apoyar a su madre, hermana y sobrinas en casa. A pesar de enfrentarse al racismo sistémico y al trabajo mal pagado, trabajó incansablemente hasta su detención.
</div>
<div>La noche del 3 de abril, la policía paró a Consuelo sin motivo mientras conducía. Tras mover ligeramente el coche, le esposaron, maltrataron y detuvieron.
</div>
<div>Consuelo fue sometido a horas de interrogatorios degradantes, durante los cuales la policía lo acusó repetidamente de llevar un documento de identidad falso y de mentir sobre su género. Lo obligaron a someterse a requisas corporales intrusivas, se burlaron de él por su identidad de género y lo retuvieron días de más sin acceso a una llamada telefónica, ni contacto alguno con el mundo exterior. Este trato refleja un patrón de violencia sistémica contra las personas trans y negras, que son criminalizadas, descreídas y sometidas a abusos por parte de las fuerzas de seguridad.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Además, los cargos que se le imputan son exagerados y están fabricados con acusaciones falsas. Actualmente se encuentra preso en la unidad de mujeres de la cárcel de Pankow, donde se espera que permanezca por lo menos 3 meses hasta poder presentarse ante la corte de justicia.
</div>
<div>La detención ilegal de Consuelo es la violencia previsible de un sistema construido sobre la antinegritud, la desposesión colonial y el pánico transfóbico. El complejo industrial penitenciario no «rehabilita»; hace desaparecer a los marginados, enjaula a los pobres e impone el orden de género/racial mediante la fuerza brutal. Rechazamos esta tragedia colonial y luchamos contra un régimen que patologiza la resistencia y criminaliza la supervivencia. La cárcel no es un lugar de «justicia», es el lugar donde se llevan a cabo las transacciones más sangrientas del capitalismo racial, donde las vidas negras, trans y migrantes se intercambian por beneficios y espectáculo político. Rechazamos el mito de la «criminalidad».
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Para apoyar a Consuelo, estamos recaudando 15.750 euros para cubrir
</div>
<div>Por su tiempo de detención:
</div>
<div>Los gastos de abogado: 4000€
</div>
<div>Costes legales y de juicio: 1500€
</div>
<div>Alquiler incl. facturas durante 3 meses: 3000€
</div>
<div>Suministros en la cárcel, seguro médico, facturas de teléfono, gastos médicos corrientes: 1500€
</div>
<div>Al salir de la cárcel:
</div>
<div>Alquiler hasta que pueda encontrar un empleo: 3000€
</div>
<div>Seguro médico: 750
</div>
<div>Comida y necesidades diarias: 1500€
</div>
<div>Gastos médicos y otros gastos esenciales: 500€
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Las prisiones son delitos. La policía es violencia. La detención es tortura.
</div>
<div>Cada petición de fianza se extrae de nuestras comunidades. Esto no es justicia, es la maquinaria implacable de la violencia del cisheteropatriarcado.
</div>
<div>En el espíritu de la abolición trans ecofeminista, luchamos por la justicia transformadora y contra el mundo que construye prisiones.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Consuelo es un alma amable y solidaria, un artista con talento y una persona importante en nuestra comunidad, y creemos que no debería estar en prisión preventiva. Estamos a su lado y nos proponemos apoyar de manera absoluta.
</div>
<div>Por favor considere donar si puede, cada pequeña donación y participación ayudará.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias por su tiempo y apoyo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>En solidaridad,
</div>
<div>Amigos de Consuelo
