>We r up here alone in d roof so that one day w cn b down dr with people, cuz to us this is what being rebels is, to gather enough experience to push to help those that wouldnt or couldnt do at first, to b up here then up dr, again? nd dn ultimatedly down dr,to talk with people nd learn what they hav to say nd so that we get to tell them how we see d world too, nd hopefully we agree nd we get to work and do stuff together to change it so we all like who we are being. so far in just a couple of days we got many many thank yous and some tears even from the one's without a voice in hackney.well it doesn't even matter where we come from nd how we look like.what is in it for us they asked? they know we r freezing and worse, even when we have our little zapatista balaclavas on to give us warmth and strength and to remind us that our noses are too big and that that is the point, that us with the long noses and white skins and gringo accents are the ones that are eating the world, and so that we also must take the responsability and fight to participate in the solution and that alone we cannot make it and that for sure if we use what we learned and speak it slowly and with respect in the streets and among ourselves as a collective and we learn to listen to those down there looking up and smiling tho they are sad too like us, deep inside, that then we will be part of another day where we send the world in a different direction opposite to where the baddies are sending it and that with enough pushes in enough days with enough of us, then one day enough will be enough nd we would really have helped those with the shorter noses and the forests and the rivers and the seas and the sky where we live and everything that lives in it to take what the baddies wont give us and keep what they want to take from us. ANd that process starts here now in hackney and it doesnt matter anymore that we were few and that we dont know what we r doing really, because now we have our territory and we are going to defend it with whatever is left of the comuntity here or with whatever common unity we can all build... Don't really expect people reading dis to be in hackney or to be the kind that is looking up and smiling,more think of u as i think of me, like u are activists like we are and that's why you read and post in this site, so there is no point giving u trendy words and special facts and figures, trying to convince u about the real state of d world and the big shit we are turning it into, u must b paying attention... instead we ask you to come and join this project we just started with hackney, and share what u have and learn what u dnt know. we have a great space nd a great bunch of companyeros inside and in the area,so if u live here come take part in this and if u are far away, keep fighting with ur friends, build networks large nd small, dont give up & keep in touch. Please feel free to make this post better.
