Autonomous activists based in Birmingham are currently facing an injunction and eventual eviction for a local squat that was being prepared for a community centre.

Only having just moved into it eartoday, the landlord and police are already threatening the squatters and activists with an injunction for eviction, so that the building can be demolished and the land taken over to build a local ASDA supermarket store.

Autonomous activists based in Birmingham are currently facing an injunction and eventual eviction for a local squat that was being prepared for a community centre.

Only having just moved into it early today, the landlord and police are already threatening the squatters and activists with an injunction for eviction, so that the building can be demolished and the land taken over to build a local ASDA supermarket store.

The number of people defending the current squat are extremely low, and need all the back-up they can get! The activists intend to create strong fortifications over this weekend in time for next Monday, which is when court applications are said to begin.

They would welcome all kinds of help- whether you can bring food, tools, good background knowledge of squatting and evictions or solidarity in any shape or form, it would be more than appreciated!

Autonomous community spaces are important, defend them!

If interested, get down to 10 Ivy Road, Stirchley, B30 2NX (near the High Street)

Give them a ring if you want to pop down and help out- 07988056867

Many thanks!
