So you want to be an aid worker, huh?

Frontline aid work is hard work and takes a special type of person to deliver effective aid, let alone survive in the field. After a disaster, a war, a famine or drought, villages and communities are harsh places to live. Food and clean water are scarce as well as sometimes there are serious security issues.

anarchism in Occupied Social Centers.. anarkismo el los CSO

We’ve counted some 140 ”Occupied Social Centers”  the Spanish state. (en castellano abajo)

 ”In every neighborhood an occupied social center… The movement is no longer so defensive, enclosed in a comfortable (and sometimes thankless) ghetto, and has begun to expand. It’s a good time to welcome without fear new people from other political traditions, and above all, people never politicized.”

In ‘A las Barricadas’ magazine we published a map some  months ago of social centers (squats or not), cultural associations, think tanks, foundations, social libraries, bookstores and other places of anti-authoritarian character.The very variety of the Iberian anarchism today, makes it difficult to categorize or locate many spaces.

Occupy free space, starting Jan 28th– COPY SPAIN

”Occupy Everything! Call-Out to Occupy Buildings on January 28th, 2012 January 12, 2012 at 9:53 pm

We call on people to reclaim space in their areas on January 28th in the spirit of the occupy movement, but first and foremost to move past the idea of private property and build communities of resistance.

Groups in multiple cities have already announced plans for building takeovers on this date. We urge people to partake in actions that match their capacity. Momentum is on our side; resistance is building.

The natural next step of the occupy movement is to create a political squatting movement that will be a base of power for the continued struggle against the state and capitalism.”

Comment and 10 Tips.. COPY Spain!!

In Spain also squatting is a criminal offence. Yet in Catalunya alone there are dozens of thriving ‘ Occupied Self managed Social Centers of every description.’ How is this possible? any movement to grab a bit of free space in the US could learnlots from our ideas and tactics.

Occupied self managed social center.. barcelona 2012

Here ae some tips from an ancient squatter.

1. Pick a building that’s long disused or forgotten or that it’s a disgrace to be abandoned.

2.Invite the neighbours to open house type participation from the start.

3. Immediately start all kinds of daily activities, from yoga to dance to ‘freegan’ cafes etc

4. Decide things by assembly, seeking consensus, this short circuits the ‘politicos’ and power obsessed men

5. People living there have first choice, maybe we can ‘adopt’ one person with problems, but we

can’t invite in all the drug and mental casualties of the brutal capitalism-

6.Good Squat Centers are often begun by an already strong group of friends.

7. The local economy is often based on recycling and benefit parties.

8. A great tactic is to have a backup place in case you don’t survive the first crucial days

9. A theme is a good idea, from Circus Squats, Womens centers, Prisoners Aid, rural permaculture, etc.

10. Above all look out for each other, beyond personal irritations, and enjoy the adventure!

(en) The world of environmental direct action has remained a secretive one, until now. Emily James spent over a year embedded in activist groups such as Climate Camp and Plane Stupid to document their clandestine activities. With unprecedented access, Just do It takes you on an astonishing journey behind the scenes of a community of people who refuse to sit back and allow the destruction of their world. Torpedoing the tired clichés of the environmental movement, Just Do It introduces you to a powerful cast of mischievous and inspiring characters who put their bodies in the way; they super-glue themselves to bank trading floors, blockade factories and attack coal power stations en-masse, despite the very real threat of arrest. Their adventures will entertain, illuminate and inspire.

Occupy Seattle, Occupy Everything

Building Occupied in Seattle!

by Estudiante Insurgente

From Tides of Flame

On Saturday, November 19th, a group of about 60 people marched from the occupation at Seattle Central Community College in solidarity with Occupy Oakland and against the police repression and evictions of occupations across the country. At the beginning of the march, it was announced that a building would be taken over at the end of the march.

The group moved through Capitol Hill chanting “Banks and landlords, we don’t need ‘em/ All we want is total freedom!” before plunging down 12th Avenue to the King County Juvenile Detention Center. The group stopped outside the main cell areas and made noise for the children and teenagers imprisoned inside. Marchers chanted “Our passion for freedom is stronger than their prisons,” and screamed that those on the inside would not be forgotten.

After the noise demo, the group marched into the Central District, one of the most rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods in the country. The term ‘skid row’ was coined here at the beginning of the twentieth century. The Central District was 80% black in 1970. Now it is 15% black, with many new condo developments and apartments having sprung up within the last decade. As the march came closer to the soon-to-be-occupied building, the majority of the drivers passing by yelled and honked their horns in approval.

The group surrounded an abandoned building on 23rd and Alder. A banner reading “OCCUPY EVERYTHING – NO BANKS – NO LANDLORDS (A)” had been draped across the front façade. Someone opened the front door and everyone streamed inside, celebrating the occupation of this new space. People started redecorating with paint and other items while a group outside held an assembly to figure out what to do. At the time of this writing, people are still occupying the building. The current plan is to hold it until Sunday where a public re-furbishing of the building can take place.
