If you have a mobile phone and would like to stay informed about any
urgent news on social centre eviction threats or the openning of new spaces etc, subscribe to the free SMS alerts service on twitter.
It allows a large number of people to be informed very quickly should
there be an attempt to evict a social centre and hopefully mobilise enough people to make such attempts unsucessful.
To join, text 'follow londonscn' to 07624801423. You will receive a
message in return and you should reply to that text as instructed with a
name of your choosing.
Subscribing will cost you the normal fee for sending two text messages
(probably 20pm in total) and there is no charge to receive the alerts.
We don't run the service, it is provided by an american company (see
twitter.com). There are privacy implications but we don't believe they are
significant in this particular context. If you are the paranoid type,
don't sign up.
In the future, this service will be used to annouce events taking place at
London Social Centres but currently it will only used for emergency
alerts and callouts.
You can unsubscribe at any time following the instructions that are texted
to you when you join up.
