Enfield Eviction and Media Centre

SOLIDARITY FOREVER | 04.04.2009 16:42 | Other Press | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements

The Visteon workers are taking steps to ensure their struggle reaches a wider audience - to build the support and solidarity they need.

Kimberley Winter will be working to establish a media center at the Enfield worker occupation so as to better publicize the occupation and get the message of the workers out to various media forums. Anybody who can help with this, or with the issue of eviction law relating to commercial property should contact Kimberly directly (She is an admin of the Visteon support group below).

Kimberly's message from the group:

"Enfield workers are still in occupation, there is alot of confusion about the legalities of the eviction order.
WE DESPERATELY NEED SOMEONE WITH EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE OF EVICTION ORDERS SERVED ON COMMERCIAL PROPERTY.
and
WE ALSO NEED TECHNICAL SUPPORT TO HELP RUN A COMMUNICATION CENTRE FROM THE FACTORY!
please contact me directly for more info!"

Hi there,

We have extensive experience setting up media centres in exactly these situations, and we are eager to help (see the Indymedia London website, we're all over this occupation). Is there a way to contact Kimberly without using Facebook?

@ one of IMC London

Thanks for the response. I've posted your message on the Facebook group and I've asked Kimberly to release her contact details. I think the supporters of the occupation have been doing limited organisation on Facebook - hence the current dependency on it - but I reckon we can get it spread out to a wider base.

To clarify, I'm not officially part of the Occupation organisation, I just saw the call out on the FB group and thought it'd be something IMC would be interested in helping out with. I'm glad to say it looks like I was right! With any luck we can all get this ball rolling together.

The occupiers have also been pointed to the 'Haldane Society of Socialist Lawyers' as a potential source of legal help.

Any other advice and experience would be greatly appreciated. Remember, Solidarity is the greatest weapon these workers have. The more people they have working in support, the stronger they become.
