THIS FRIDAY NIGHT (22nd Sept)

From 8pm this Friday, come down to the rampART for our first 'collective night', an informal social intended as a low stress event for us to hang out together and chat. With open mic, open decks and open stage, this event will be what you make it. Bring your friends, and a few of your favorite records to spin, either vinyl, CD or mp3. If your play an instrument, why not bring it along and see if the mood takes you. Most important, bring yourself. There'll be nibbles and drink and we'll keep the volume low enough for conversation without shouting!!

p.s. We've also table football now.


THIS SATURDAY NIGHT (23rd Sept)

Talk from Anarchists Against the Wall

For several years, an Israeli direct action group named Anarchists Against the Wall (AAtW) has participated in the Palestinian-led joint struggle against the so-called “separation barrier” in the occupied West Bank – a racist segregation wall created in violation of international law, which cuts Palestinians off from their lands and may well prevent any remaining chance of Palestinian self determination. AAtW activists have destroyed parts of the wall, forced open gates in the wall and removed roadblocks. They marched together with Palestinians to their lands and stood in front of bulldozers with farmers whose olive trees were threatened. Their contribution to the struggle has been recognized by all those involved.

The group's work has also been recognized by the Israeli authorities which have rewarded it with violent repression, hundreds of arrests and about 40 indictments. Although to a lesser extent than Palestinians, they have also been shot at, tear gassed, beaten with batons and injured. The legal costs of defending against these charges are around $20,000 and counting. AAtW is now seeking the support of communities and organizations in Europe for its legal fund in order to fight back against the legal persecution and continue its part in the fight against the wall.

Sarah Assouline and Saif Abukeshek are an Israeli and a Palestinian who have dedicated themselves to the popular struggle against the Israeli separation barrier (the wall). They are speaking together as partners in this struggle and in the larger struggle against Palestinian dispossession. They are touring Europe to raise awareness and much needed funds to sustain their campaign. They would like to meet people interested in supporting grassroots activism between Israeli and Palestinian people.
