trafalgar square occupation press release
06-05-2011 01:24
the fifth trafalgar square 'occupation against the cuts' takes place this weekend. a 24-hour overnight occupation will begin at 18.30 tomorrow (saturday).
this is the press release from the occupying committee
Trafalgar Square Anti Cuts Occupation continues 7 May for 24-hours
Now going into its second month, the Trafalgar Square Anti Cuts Occupation
continues with another 24-hours peaceful occupation from 6.30pm Saturday
7 May. Last week’s 48-hour May Day weekend occupation was a great
success, with campers engaging the public and those in attendance for
the May Day rally.
Given the local elections and the AV referendum taking place, this weekend
could be an interesting as the results come out and the ramifications
become clear. As such, the camp invites people to bring their tents and
join the occupation which includes anti cuts activists, students,
workers, trade unionists, professionals and homeless people.
People are welcome to come for as long as they want, whether camping for the
entire occupation or just to pop in for a cup of tea or workshop.
Artists, performers, speakers and workshop leaders are also invited.
Mutual respect and personal responsibility are central to the camp
ethos. All attending are coming as individuals - there are no organisers
- so people are asked to be aware of their rights. People are also
asked to bring food to share, to look after the area and put litter in
the bins provided.
Key aims of the occupation are:
- To raise awareness of the ideological cuts that the Government is
instigating - without mandate - and how they are affecting the most
vulnerable in society. - To create a safe space for all, including parents and children, where
alternatives to current policy can be learned about and discussed, with
workshops, talks, debates and creative art. - To defend the right to protest. The recent actions of the police,
including pre-emptive arrests, have made this particularly important. By
simply being present in Trafalgar Square and by engaging with the
public, we defend the ability to dissent without fear of the
consequences of doing so. The group also intends to show that without
police presence, protesters can organise themselves peacefully and
lawfully. This has already been demonstrated on previous occupations,
when the police stayed at a distance and there was no conflict. If there
are attempts to remove participants, they will resist non-violently.

Workshop :: Medellín :: Colombia :: Recent years have been marked by multiple crises -- of an economic, social, political and environmental nature. It is quite clear that the neoliberal model, based on fossil energy and consumerism, has reached its limits. Against this background it is more than reasonable to consider social and economic alternatives.Video: may day demo in Germany (Riots)
