Despite being evicted from the Old Tory Club, we're going to carry on with some of our workshop plans.  Here's the revised timetable

Tuesday

3:30- Smash Edo A brief introduction on the origins of the campaign and past actions. -A legal workshop in the form of QnA.  A talk on direct action tactics. What we would like from the Summer of resistance.

5:30- Prisoner Solidarity- Those who participate in resistance against the state and capitalism run the risk of spending time imprisoned. This workshop aims to develop ideas and practices which mean that those who end up behind bars to not become isolated from the communities they were part of, as well as thinking through practical ideas to support imprisoned comrades.

Wednesday

13:00- Critical Mass, which starts from the N30 rally at Market Square in town and will end at the Sumac Centre.

15:00- A hot meal for the strikers and those who have participated in the pickets and actions througout the day. Along with a facilitated discussion about the anti-cuts movement. What's going on? How are we doing? How can we win?

17:30- "The Take"

In suburban Buenos Aires, thirty unemployed auto-parts workers walk into their idle factory, roll out sleeping mats and refuse to leave. All they want is to re-start the silent machines. But this simple act - The Take - has the power to turn the globalization debate on its head.

Armed only with slingshots and an abiding faith in shop-floor democracy, the workers face off against the bosses, bankers and a whole system that sees their beloved factories as nothing more than scrap metal for sale.

19:00- Dinner and discussion about the day's strikes, the wider workers' struggle and how we can extend it.

Thursday

3:30- Self defence foundation course pt.2 - Covering defences utilising use of opponents energy.

The Taqwacores
Yusef, a first-generation Pakistani engineering student, moves off-campus with a group of Muslim punks in Buffalo, New York. His new "un-orthodox" house mates soon introduce him to Taqwacore- a hardcore, Muslim punk rock scene that only exists out west. As the seasons change, Taqwacore influences the house more and more. The living room becomes a mosque during the day, while it continues to host punk parties at night. Ultimately, Yusef is influenced by Taqwacore too, as he begins to challenge his own faith and ideologies. The Taqwacores deals with the complexities of being young and Muslim in modern-day America.

Friday

4:00- Permaculture- "What is permaculture and can it help fix the mess were in?"

5:00v Off-grid electrics - Theoretical and practical workshop on off-grid, solar panels and battery power.

6:00 Dinner and a film

END:CIV examines our culture’s addiction to systematic violence and environmental exploitation, and probes the resulting epidemic of poisoned landscapes and shell-shocked nations. Based in part on Endgame, the best-selling book by Derrick Jensen, END:CIV asks: “If your homeland was invaded by aliens who cut down the forests, poisoned the water and air, and contaminated the food supply, would you resist?”
