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.”

https://incorporealcommittee.wordpress.com/

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!

Atenas: solidarity occupation/ broadcast at Flash 96 FM

On the morning of January 10, about twenty members of the assembly of solidarity with the case of Revolutionary Struggle (Epanastatikos Agonas, whose trial is currently underway), joined the corporation flash.gr radio station in the Kifisias Avenue and stopped the program from the station to transmit a message of solidarity with the accused.

Although neither the direction of the station or its staff formally requested the intervention of the police, dozens of them (DIAS motorcycle units, such as MAT squads, plainclothes police officers, among others) soon arrived at the scene and surrounded the building. At about 14.00 hours, after hours of being locked in the offices of the radio, the anarchists who participated in the intervention of solidarity were arrested en masse and taken to police headquarters on Alexandras Avenue: two prosecutors , along with squads of police, stormed the radio station, forcing the partners to leave the premises, all were handcuffed and held in police buses, while their mobile phones were confiscated.

As soon as the news spread, anarchists gathered outside the police headquarters (GADA), where a solidarity protest of about 100 people was conducted.

Here is part of a text published by the same 20 detainees’ s:

Today, January 10, 2012, the companions of esapcio anarchist / anti-authoritarian we conducted an intervention in the company’s FM radio station Flash 96 in the context of a series of solidarity actions in the case of Revolutionary Struggle, trial was conducted from October 5, 2011, in the special court Koridallos prison.

We have taken this action in an effort to break the wall of silence and the political order of muzzling the judicial and political discourse of the defendants in the case of Revolutionary Struggle.

It appears that all comrades l @ s @ s s are accused of a misdemeanor of “inciting violence”. ‘S are now threatened to be arrested and should be tomorrow at the hearing, 11 / 1, in the courts Evelpidon in Athens, around the 12:00 BHRS. We call for unconditional absolution!

End the persecution s @ s comrades who participated in Flash 96 FM!
Freedom now to everyone!

Solidarity with the three members of the revolutionary struggle, Nikos Maziotis, Pola roupa, Kostas Gournas, otr l @ s @ s @ s Plead in the same case, Vaggelis Stathopoulos, Nikitopoulos Sarantos, Christoforos Kortesis, Beraha Katsenos Marie and Kostas. We demand the immediate release of K. Katsenos hostage remains in custody.

Solidarity is our weapon.

La Floresta: Ateneu i Cooperativa desallotjat per Mossos antiavalots

 

Desallotgen l’antiga seu de Caixa Terrassa a la Floresta

Àgata Guinó
Poble Els Mossos d’Esquadra han desallotjat a primeres hores d’aquest matí el local de la Caixa Terrassa a la Floresta, que estava ocupat des de mitjan novembre. L’espai s’utilitzava com Ateneu i com a seu d’una cooperativa ecològica

L’antiga seu de Caixa Terrassa a la Floresta, ubicada a la plaça Miquel Ros, ha estat desallotjada a primeres hores d’aquesta matí de dimecres pels Mossos d’Esquadra. En el moment de l’entrada dels cossos de seguretat, l’espai no estava ocupat per cap persona. Al matí, els ocupants del local han arribat i han trobat els antiavalots que els hi han permès treure els llibres, materials i altres objectes que tenien dins l’antiga seu bancària.

Els ocupes han lamentat l’actuació policial ja que han explicat que el local donava servei d’Ateneu al barri i que ara cap espai cobrirà aquestes necessitats. També han exposat que abans del desallotjament no havien rebut cap avís judicial. D’altra banda, han afirmat que hi havia una quinzena d’agents antiavalots de la policia catalana, però que no hi ha hagut cap incident i han assegurat que els Mossos s’han portat correctament. Segons fonts dels usuaris del local, els cossos de seguretat han esbotzat la porta principal de l’edifici per entrar. A les nou del matí tres paletes tapiaven la porta d’entrada al local amb rajoles.

Fonts policials han explicat que una dotació d’antiavalots, més tres patrulles de la comissaria dels Mossos d’Esquadra de Sant Cugat s’han desplaçat fins a la plaça Miquel Ros per desallotjar el local ocupat a les set del matí. A més han destacat l’ordre pacífic en què s’ha portat a terme l’actuació.

Ateneu i cooperativa ecològica
El local ocupat donava el servei d’Ateneu del barri. Cada dia es programaven diferents activitats i tallers en els quals podien participar els infants. Per aquest dimecres a la tarda hi havia programat un taller de fang per a la mainada. A més, l’espai s’utilitzava com a seu de la cooperativa ecològica el senglar. Els membres d’aquesta utilitzaven el local per intercanviar productes d’horts ecològics de la zona.

Occupy Seattle: Rent is Theft !

    Squatting has become more and more common (or more conspicuous) as part of the Occupy movement. An unfinished duplex at 23rd and Alder has been occupied by a collective of people since mid November. That group of unnamed defendants have been summoned to court for eviction. The court date has been set for December 28.

occupy Seattle

2:44PM – UPDATE – Slog says they spokewith some of the former residents who told a slightly different story about the house occupation:

They held up the house key. An anonymous “elf” had come by the Occupy Seattle encampment at SCCC a few weeks ago and handed them the key and the address, they said. (A different anonymous donor also gave them a sailboat that they’ll begin using and painting in the spring.) Inside, they’d begun painting a forest landscape, and planned a waterfall down the staircase; they titled the house “Water.” They denied doing damage or being a haven for any kind of destructive activity and said they didn’t know of any complaints from neighbors. Instead, they saw the house as a home base for adding art to the immediate neighborhood. To that end, they’d completed a mural nearby yesterday, on Fir Street between 14th and 15th, on a garage wall offered to them by a resident. Also yesterday, another donor gave them furniture: a futon, bookcases.

Two of their fellow occupiers are still in jail, set to be released on bail this afternoon. The third person arrested was not part of the occupation and never had lived in the house, they say. He, along with about 50 other protesters against the raid, had come to show his support, and when he stepped onto the grass, he was arrested, the occupiers say. He is the one charged with weapons violations, they say: He had a pocket knife in his pants pocket, which he then offered to the police, for which they booked him on the weapons charge.
