Local members of the public have occupied the disused Job Dentre in Deptford as a response to the brutal cuts to public services being carried out at both a local and national level. 124 Deptford High StreetAs of Tuesday 15th of March 11, they are still keeping it, and are holding an open day on Wednesday the 16th from noon onwards.
They aim to create a space from which the anti-cuts movement can organise resistance to the cuts imposed by the Con-Dems and carried out by Lewisham Council under the control of Mayor Steve Bullock and other Labour councillors. As part of that, many participants in the social centre will be gearing up to the demonstration on the 26th of March.
They also aim to create a public space for other members of the local community in Deptford and the rest of Lewisham. Steve Bullock has announced the closure of five libraries, childrens centres and other public centres, which are vital to the local people's everyday lives.
The local people who have opened this social centre in Deptford do not believe that we can not afford vital services like a health and an education systems, after billions of pounds have been used to bail out bankers who will be receiving over 7 billion in bonuses.
They feel part of a growing movement across Britain where people are determined to defend their communities and challenge those who seek to control normal people's lives by taking control themselves.
The social centre in what was the job centre in Deptford is a self-organised space, run by people from a variety of backgrounds.
They want Social Centre Plus to be a catalyst for social and political change based on the principles of direct action, solidarity and self-organisatin.
It is a free space for the community to use and every one is invited inside with their ideas for the building and the wider world, or even just to chat over a cup of tea.
They will be running cafés, film nights, workshops, and many other things.
The first of which is an open day tomorrow, Wednesday 16th. People are welcome to come, get involved, or just offer some hours of squat sitting or some of the equipment needed as of the Wish List (see picture). Especially needed are plates, cuttlery and people to be there during day time and nights.
Death of a great humanitarian. RIP Dr Cohen.
