The Squat: DIY Social and Political Spaces.
Tuesday 24th we'll have a series of films on DIY punk, youth squats,
and anarchist political spaces, from a variety of angles.
#1: Lefties: Property is Theft (2006) -- BBC documentary about Villa
Road, a squatted London neighbourhood in the 70s.
runtime TBD
#2: Roll Up Your Sleeves: The DIY Counterculture (2008) -- A short
flick about youth and DIY music in Ireland.
runtime 27:04
#3: 69 Ungdomshuset (2008) -- chronicling the epic battle between
anarchist, homeless youth in Copenhagen as they fight, literally,
against the police to defend themselves from eviction and their
squatted home from destruction.
runtime 1:01:25
#4: Our House (2010) -- (actual film or trailer, which works almost as
well). "Dan Taylor is fresh out of prison when he meets Derek, a young
Christian anarchist who runs an illegal homeless shelter out of an
abandoned warehouse in Brooklyn. An alternative to the impersonal,
bureaucratic shelter system, Our House provides a safe space for
ex-cons, former drug addicts, and punk squatters to live a communal,
spiritual, and vegan lifestyle."

The G8/G20 meetings took place in Ontario from June 25-27, 2010. Toronto-based organizations of women, people of colour, indigenous peoples, the poor, the working class, queer and trans people and disabled people organized a peoples convergence with 40,000 people taking to the streets, standing up for justice in collaboration and solidarity!
Activists, community members, inspired and outraged individuals came together as a movement to demand justice for people and the planet. Over a week of mobilizations, events, workshops and direct actions took place in the face of state and police repression, violence and infringements on rights and freedoms.
We must continue to mobilize and build greater solidarity among our communities- an important part of this is supporting all those arrested during the G20 summit, including our allies still in detention, and those released on bail.
