Many people are facing eviction today because of the unfair welfare which will force people into debt and arrears.
Join us for an afternoon of housing related discussion, developing ideas for creative protest action and networking. Housing activists from Berlin and Barcelona will present photographs and short films and will share their experience, knowledge and tactics to keep people in their homes.
The workshops are open to everyone, with any level of experience in activism. We'll be looking at:
  • What “eviction resistance” means in other European countries?
  • What can we learn from our own experiences of the anti-poll tax movement
  • Why we might choose to get involved in direct action against eviction?
  • What are the possible legal consequences of different types of protest action?
Inspired by different experience presented by the speakers, we'll come up with ideas how to build up localnetworks to support affected people and work out next steps.
