NATIONAL SQUAT MEET 2009
Title: NATIONAL SQUAT MEET 2009
Location: Bristol

Description:
The last round of capitalist growth profoundly reshaped our cities forcing many from the centre to the outskirts as the yuppie flats went up. Now as that economy falters possibilities emerge to start taking things back!
Even as recently as the last National Squat Meetup in Leeds, and before that the international gatherings in Dijon and Berlin, the threat of corporate expansion, to squats and autonomous spaces, was top of the agenda… now its time for us to start expanding. Of course this doesn’t mean for a second that the repression will cease (perhaps quite the opposite) but it’s a good reason to get our heads (and hearts) together to think about how to move forward.
THIS IS A CALLOUT
This is a callout for all those involved/interested in squats and autonomous spaces across the UK and beyond, to meet and share ideas, stories and practical strategies and discuss issues that affect us all as a community. Following on from the Leeds meetup last year to discuss the april2008 days of action, many smaller local gatherings and actions have taken place and ongoing processes have begun. As thousands face homelessness whilst half the city sits empty we want to keep thinking about ways of strengthening our network in defence of autonomous spaces, share success stories from last year’s days of action and formulate future plans and schemes for creative chaos!
