callout for squatting actionweekend 8th and 9th of jan. nn - 26.12.2010 02:44
New year, new opportunities. The christmas lights are being taken down but the fireworks just keep on going. Our New Year's resolution shall be the same as it is every year: we will keep squatting! 2011 is a year like every other, with many people still suffering from the housing shortage. Squatting ban or not, squatting remains a necessity since housing shortage remains an issue. And we will keep on resisting against the fact that having a roof above your head depends on money or a years-long waiting list. We refuse to lay our destiny in the hands of speculators and city developers and building corporations. In order to keep up the illusion of habitation, the city places anti-squatters deprived of any rights into empty buildings. And so the owners can keep on speculating happily and the rights of renters are getting eroded more and more. This is no solution! We will keep on actively fighting against emptiness and the housing shortage. During the weekend of 7th-8th of January we want to start the new year with actions across the whole country. We will expropriate empty houses and give them back their original purpose: houses are to be lived in! Come rain or shine we will build and renovate, and where necessary we will barricade and defend, because we will not be driven out without a fight. We call for everyone to show during this weekend that we are still here, that our struggle goes on. And that we will not be stopped by a law that is not only unjust, but also not ours, not at all. Especially during times of oppression we will continue. The fires of 1st of October might seem extinguished but they still smolder and might flare up any moment! 2011: houses are still empty, our ideals still fiery. This will be a great year! Squatting goes on! |
