Dalston Lane Theatre Faces Eviction

e4e | 14.10.2006 20:52 | Free Spaces | London

The occupied theatre on Dalston Lane (Hackney, London) is currently facing eviction - the local council has got permission to demolish the buildings from next Wednesday. Dalston Theatre was occupied in February [pics 1 | 2] to protest against the gentrification of the area and has ever since been open as a community centre, hosting a variety of activities and workshops.

The first attempt to evict the building, in March, was successfully resisted. Now, the ocupiers are asking for support to resist the eviction once again. The week of resistance started with a "Day of Celebration" last Sunday, 15th Oct.

Update Nov 1st: Dalston Lane Theatre is getting evicted since the early monrning: pictures 1 | 2

Hackney Resistance Deserves Our Support

15.10.2006 22:57

The Hackney community is being destroyed by the big corporations and the government, and the movement should be supporting the local Resistance in the hope that we can draw attention to the fact that global warming is driving humanity to extinction.
The people of Hackney deserve all the help they can get, and it is worth bearing in mind that there won't be any future generations if we don't do something about this massive problem NOW while there is still time to do something about it.
