<div><em>27.07.2026: Beloved OYA MÜLLEM friends, guests, neighbours, comrades and supporters,</em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We need your support more than ever. We never got rid of the full amount of debts (ca. 38.000€) and carry it with us month by month, day by day which gets even harder / unfightable during slow summer season.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How do we spend the money?</strong>
</div>
<div>We pay our open bills. No profit. No unnessecary costs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1. Electricity &amp; Gas: Our monthly payment was miscalculated last year so we have to repay 5242,95€ (plus adjusted monthly gas &amp; electricity payments of ca. 1000€)
</div>
<div>2. Taxes: ca. 4350€ tax payments open and due to summer low we cannot keep up
</div>
<div>3. Insurances: ca. 3600€ of insurance costs for the space not yet paid
</div>
<div>4. Credit: ca. 58.600€ still open, 1900€ of which have to be paid urgently
</div>
<div>5. Material: 790€ of material costs have not been paid yet
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why It Matters</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>OYA MÜLLEM isn’t just another venue. Since opening in April 2024, we’ve become a cultural and political home in Cologne-Mülheim, a place where artists, neighbors, and creatives come together to share ideas, make art, and build community.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We’ve hosted performances, concerts, birthdays, weddings, workshops, exhibitions, and countless conversations. The response has shown us: this space matters.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We prioritize wages (obviously) &amp; the room rent, so we can continue daily business as flawless as possible.
</div>
