FORTNIGHT OF FIGHT AGAINST THE EVICTIONS AND TO DEFEND FREE SQUATS
BARCELONA FROM 26 SEPTEMBER TO 10 OCTOBER

From the Squatters Assembly of Barcelona we have organized this Fortnight of Fight in the street denunciating all that we have been doing in our daily one from squats, community and diverse collective centers. We have a new big wave of evictions of squats and community centers foreseen for next autumn. So we have the need to organize some days of fight that serve to assemble the maximum number of people around the reality of these squats and to take part, hereby, in the denunciation against the speculation and against the evictions of the free spaces. The spaces like Les Naus, Ateneo de Korneyà, la Kasa de la Muntanya, el Ateneo de Viladecans and La Rovira are under serious threat of eviction.
The journeys are already organized, and they will take place from September 26 to October 10. We attach the programming and the calendar of activities, from wich we want to make attention to the International Demonstration summoned for October 4 trough the streets of Barcelona.
This is basically a call to the mobilization of which we want to make you participate, especially to those of you that want to come to Barcelona and want to be present at the summons.
The organization is preparing some places to house the people that is coming but we need that you confirm assistance in order tol look for places to sleep, otherwise we might not assure it. For any question you can write us to [email protected]

Thanks to everybody and we wait you all in Barcelona!!

http://www.sindominio.net/quinzenaokupacio
has english pages explaining the issues and seminar/day/journey plans.

Accomodation for participants is available, bring the usual: (tent/sleeping bag etc.,)

In addition many of the more established CSO (centre social okupe= occupied social centre)
and CSOA (centre social artista okupe = occupied social centre officially recognised by the Municipal authority of BCN as being an artistic association and therefore of artistic merit to the city) have internet sites/pages.
Some of these are translated to English and browsing the sites will give you some idea of the history and work of these places.

CSOA Les Naus- established 9 years.
http://www.sindominio.net/lesnaus/

CSO Ateneu Cornella (unemployed of Cornella)
established in 1987.
http://www.sindominio.net/ateneucornella/

CSO Kasa de la muntanya
This building is perhaps one of the most bitterly disputed propertie and title deeds in Barcelona. Built by the Güell family (who were the Catalan nationalist patrons of Gaudí) it sits on the hills at the entrance of the famous Parc Guell designed by Gaudí. It was comandeered by the Guardia Civil and liberated by Okupes. It has succesfully resisted illegal and armed evictions many times.

In addition CSO Can Pascual and CSO Can Masdeu operate organic and collective farms in the outskirts of Barcelona.
You may see some photos of CSO Can Pascual at
http://barcelona.indymedia.org/newswire/display_any/50091
CSO Can Masdeu became the first liberated space to not only resist eviction but be "presented" with more land by it's surrounding community as a sign of support. see a back issue of that conflict. http://barcelona.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=19888&group=webcast

you can sign a petition to help "Les Naus". (if you can't come to visit)

CSOA Les Naus is a "art against repression", "if they come for me at dawn they'll come for you at dusk", circus loving, music loving, trapeze loving, computer loving, squatted social and arts centre.
if you go the link you can find a 5kb downloadable pdf petition.
http://barcelona.indymedia.org/newswire/display/54750/index.php
you can visit the home site:
http://sindominio.net/lesnaus/
you can read something in english on Les Naus at
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2003/07/274732.html

If you are in visiting distance of Barcelona

Remember from the 4th to the 5th of October the "media activism" seminar journey days of the Barcelona fortnight against speculation and in defence of autonomous and free spaces.

C/alegre de dalt, 52 - vila de gràcia
Joanic.
Les Naus is opposite the KGB club and the Beckett Theatre, 200 metres uphill from the metro turn left at Plaça de Pi i Maragall.

If you can't sign the petition /dsitribute it amongst your spanish speaking pals and return it a.s.a.p.

images for you to gawk @ think about & repeat in your language and country.
