Taking responsibility for the paints attack on the Kipseli Municipal Market

From Act for Freedom Now!

In recent years, a dense surveillance and control network has been created, especially in central neighborhoods, which jeopardizes our anonymity in public spaces, squares, and neighborhoods. This network primarily consists of security cameras, both public and private (in shops, entrances to houses and apartment buildings, etc.), which violate our right to privacy to a very large extent. This is complemented by the incessant patrols and checks by countless cops in our daily lives.Another example is that of the Municipal Market on Fokionos Negri Street in Kypseli, which has recently been “secured” by a collection of cameras on each side, which of course record the entire surrounding area. The Municipal Market of Kypseli was in ruins for many years until 2006, when it was occupied by local residents with the aim of meeting the needs of the neighborhood, operating in a self-organized and direct democratic manner.

Input of Libertatia squat on the topic of squats/social centers at BAB2025

From Balkan Anarchist Bookfair

A few words about Libertatia squat

Libertatia squat, the neoclassical listed building at the junction of Sarandaporou and Stratou streets in Thessaloniki, has been squatted since May 2008. In these 16 years it has been a hospitable place not only for those in need of housing but also for the ongoing struggle against the state, capital, capitalism and fascism.

Anarchist squats and autonomous social centres

From Balkan Anarchist Bookfair

In the context of the capitalist crisis and intense repression, we watch our cities submitting to the business of tourism and increasingly accommodating activities mediated by commodities and profit. This is a form of enclosure of public space, that displaces people from the cities. Squats are being evicted and it is becoming increasingly difficult to secure our material conditions of existence for social centres. Yet the existence of social centres is vital for the sustainability of relationships of solidarity between people trying to breathe in a suffocating world.

Celebrating 30 years of the Base for Anarchy and Solidarity in Easton (BASE)

As the Easton-based social centre reaches its thirtieth birthday, we explore the history of the much-loved volunteer-run community space, which began life as a squat back in the mid-1990s

As the winter of 1995 drew in, a group of Bristol’s anarchist squatters started to talk about where to go next. One comrade heard that a building at 14 Robertson Road, which had previously housed the Bristol One Parent project, had been empty for over six months.

Squatting in Defense of Queer Autonomy

From AntiDote Zine, Your friendly neighborhood anarchists since 2013

AntiNote: With permission from our comrades in Montreuil, we present two recent blog posts from La Baudrière, a queer-feminist squat that was valiantly defended and ultimately evicted this past week. While we mourn the loss of this stronghold of joyous queer life and resistance, we celebrate all of the possibilities that La Baudrière has opened up for young queer anarchists and the solidarity networks they have built across struggles more broadly. We present their call to defend the squat, as well as their update on the eviction, as a means to uplift and applaud their fight for queer autonomy. Their words stoke a fire in our hearts that inspire us to imagine a more liberated future, where free time, good snacks, and feeling safe enough to make mistakes are just a part of life, for all of us.
