Autonomous Space Events in Reading! Common Ground to be Reopened!

FRIDAY 11TH APRIL:

* Free Cafe Event*

Reading Grassroots Action will hold a free cafe event in a privatised area of the riverside in the Town Centre. The action will aim to temporarily reclaim some space in the town centre, publicise further events and organisation and spread information on several linked up struggles from the autonomous spaces movements to the Zapatistas and from community gardens to Starbucks workers. Hopefully a film will be shown illustrating the global resistance against empire and good free food and Zapatista coffee will be given out.

If the miserable council and moody coppers stop us, we'll go cheer them up...
