National Squat Meetup. 14/15 March. Bristol Area

NOW IS A PERFECT TIME TO SQUAT
Now is a per­fect time to come togeth­er to share our col­lec­tive cre­ativ­i­ty, rage, and pride in our cul­tur­al iden­ti­ty; to come togeth­er for our­selves and look to our future with sol­i­dar­i­ty and pas­sion. Let’s meet and empow­er our­selves in our com­mon strug­gle!

CRACKS ARE APPEARING…
We feel it nec­es­sary to meet at a time when those at the top are los­ing their grip to dis­cuss ways we can work togeth­er to change our world from the bot­tom up. New spaces and oppor­tu­ni­ties are open­ing all around us and there is a grow­ing poten­tial for more wide­spread recog­ni­tion of the need for autonomous hous­ing action. The threat of evic­tion and home­less­ness hangs over more peo­ple every day. There are over a bil­lion squat­ters in the world. Now is the time to build a stronger net­work of resis­tance.

THIS IS A CALLOUT
This is a call­out for all those involved in secur­ing and main­tain­ing squats and autonomous spaces across the UK, and beyond, to meet and dis­cuss issues that affect us all as a com­mu­ni­ty. Fol­low­ing on from the huge­ly suc­cess­ful nation­al meet­ing in Leeds last year, and many small­er local gath­er­ings, that have hap­pened through­out the year, this year’s meet up will be in the Bris­tol area. Please bring your pos­i­tive ener­gy, enthu­si­asm and thoughts to share skills and engage in open dia­logue.

WE CAN CONSTRUCT A POSITIVE VISION OF THE WORLD
We hope to dis­cuss ways of strength­en­ing our net­work in defence of autonomous spaces, share suc­cess sto­ries from last year’s day of action and for­mu­late future plans and schemes for cre­ative chaos! The agen­da will be decid­ed between us all on Fri­day evening. Please arrive ear­ly if pos­si­ble to help us cre­ate the space.
