Women and Trans DIY-SQUATTING Weekend in London, 28th-29th June

This is a call­out to all women and trans-folk that would like to be involved in a week­end of work­shops around diy-squat­ting

We plan to take advan­tage of all the usu­al chal­lenges that semi-derelict build­ings pose as a plat­form for shar­ing our knowl­edge, skills, and expe­ri­ence in all the tasks relat­ed to open­ing and main­tain­ing a healthy and hap­py squat!

These are all the areas that we’ve thought of so far, but more ideas are always wel­come:

* Elec­tric­i­ty
* Plumb­ing
* Gas
* Secu­ri­ty- doors/locks etc
* Bar­ri­cad­ing
* Legal
* Deal­ing w/ cop­s/own­ers- talk about experience/share tac­tics
* Women/Trans squat­ting- open dis­cus­sion on expe­ri­ence of squat­ting from a wom­en/­trans-per­spec­tive.
* Sus­tain­able ener­gy

All lev­els of expe­ri­ence in any of the above areas are wel­come, and even if you have no expe­ri­ence in any of the prac­ti­cal, diy-relat­ed areas, we hope to have a plat­form to share
expe­ri­ences, sto­ries and advice relat­ed to all aspects of squat-liv­ing from a trans/woman’s per­spec­tive.

Please get in touch if you’d like to help out at all in organ­is­ing this week­end — We’ll need help find­ing a suit­able space and prepar­ing it for the week­end, pub­li­cis­ing the gath­er­ing, and then run­ning work­shops on the week­end itself, as well as col­lect­ing and prepar­ing food.
We also hope to pro­vide child­care (on a rota-basis), so please let us know if you can help with that.

This gath­er­ing will be held on the week­end of the 28th — 29th June.

Please spread the word!
