Portugal: Disgraça - help us buy our anarchist social centre

From gofundme

Disgraça – a story about an anarchist social centre

9 years ago, we decided to break the boredom that haunted our routines and get together to open an anti-authoritarian space. A space where we could discuss and create collective solutions to problems that we had been individualising. Today, in a city devastated by real estate speculation, the housing crisis and the elitisation of culture, we have come together in resistance, this time to put an end to the monthly extortion we are subjected to and collectively acquire the space of Disgraça.

For a new Anarchist Center in Lisbon!

Received via email

Three collectives that belong to the history of Portuguese anarchism – Centro de Cultura Libertária, BOESG (library) and A Batalha (newspaper) – got together to buy a new Anarchist Center in the Lisbon region: a common space, open to old and new collectives, that will rid us, once and for all, of the pressure brought about by gentrification and real estate. The new Anarchist Center will be a social center but will also host the relevant archives and libraries of the three collectives. In the coming months, we will be hosting a massive fundraising campaign, and we are asking for the contribution of all persons and collectives solidary to the anarchist cause.

In solidarity: The Libertarian Cultural Centre of Almada

From Autonomies

For a new space for the Centro de Cultura Libertária/Libertarian Cultural Center!

The space that the Libertarian Cultural Centre (Almada, Portugal) has occupied and rented for almost 50 years is again in danger. The continued pressure exerted by gentrification and the real estate market that has evicted and forced out of city centres hits us once again. After years of threats and eviction processes that we resisted, in March 2024, the CCL will have to leave its historic headquarters in Cacilhas.

Anarchist Comrade Gabriel Pombo da Silva Arrested

From Anarchists Worldwide

We have received news of the arrest of anarchist comrade Gabriel Pombo da Silva, who as some of you would know, had been in hiding for about a year and a half.

We send the comrade our warmest and most sincerest, hugs, and for comrade Elisa and the others. The comrade’s clandestinity may be over, but the solidarity is not.

Celebrating an anniversary: The 100 years of the anarchist newspaper A Batalha

From autonomies.org

We share below, in translation, a text that appears on the portuguese website, Portal Anarquista, marking the one hundredth anniversary of the anarchist newspaper, A Batalha.  We do so for the newspaper’s historical significance, as a testimony to a tradition in anarchism of publishing as an intrinsic part of political struggle.
