Enfront nosaltres, teixint espais de vida i enfrontant-nos a la quotidianitat d’haver d’assumir estoicaent la pau dels cementiris, les seves hòsties..una darrera l’altra.

Hi there.. I see on Farcebook we are now more than 2000 Friends of ‘The Free’ the new novel set in an Occupy style social revolution, during the COLLAPSE of capitalism due to Climate Chaos. If you haven’t seen it yet you can read online or free download, or even order a paper edition HERE: thefreeonline.wordpress.com
In reality only a tiny handful of those who’d like it have even heard of ‘The Free’..It has no commercial distribution for one thing, and most folks are put off 
by words like REVOLUTION..

they are evicting the Rimaia Lliure University .. + + + … by surprise, for the fourth time!
The eviction is a brutal provocation just 3 days before the big 12M mobilizations, and with the anarchist Laura Gomez still held for no crime.
From 6:45 o’clock in the morning two units of the Mobile Brigade of the Catalan police (fourteen vans) are evacuating the building of the University Lliure The Rimaia in 12 Ronda Sant Pau in Barcelona. The agents have come by balconies with ladders and have burst the door of the building to the surprise of the people living there, because the trial court ordered 22 of Barcelona’s criminal case file two years ago it was understood an abandoned building for two decades and, therefore, was not committing any criminal offense against property developer Camat, owner of the property.

Están desalojando la Universitat Lliure la Rimaia.. …+++por cuarta vez!
Desde las 6:45h de la mañana dos unidades de la Brigada Móvil de los Mossos d’Esquadra (catorce furgonetas) están desalojando el edificio de la Universitat Lliure La Rimaia, en la ronda de Sant Pau 12, en Barcelona. Los agentes han entrado con escaleras por los balcones y han reventado la puerta del edificio ante la sorpresa de la gente que vive allí, ya que el juzgado de instrucción 22 de Barcelona ordenó el archivo de la causa penal hace dos años entendiendo que se trataba de un edificio abandonado desde hace dos décadas y, por tanto, no estaba cometiendo ningún delito penal contra la promotora inmobiliaria Camat, titular de la finca.

Cerca de 100 personas han reocupado a primera hora del viernes la finca Somontes, una hacienda de casi 400 hectáreas que la Junta de Andalucía mantiene sin uso en Palma del Río, Córdoba. La toma se produce menos de 24 horas después de que la Guardia Civil desalojara a los ocupantes.
About 100 people have reoccupied the early hours of Friday Somontes estate, an estate of nearly 400 hectares of Andalusia remains unused in Palma del Río, Córdoba. The decision comes less than 24 hours after the Civil Guard to evict the occupants.
“No se han llevado nada de material, tan sólo algunas fotos”, informa Víctor, uno de los jornaleros y miembro del Sindicato Andaluz de Trabajadores (SAT), impulsor de la acción. “Pero si no hubiéramos vuelto, las huertas estarían sin riego y las gallinas se habrían muerto de sed o se las hubieran comido los perros”, continúa.
“There has been no material taken, only some pictures,” says Victor, one of the laborers and union member Andaluz de Trabajadores (SAT), driver of the action. “But if we had not returned, would be no watering gardens and chickens would have died of thirst or the dogs might have eaten them,” he continues.
Porque la ocupación no pretende ser sólo una denuncia de la falta de uso de los terrenos públicos -en este caso, pendientes de una subasta, sino una vía de autoempleo para jornaleros y jornaleras en paro que están participando en la ocupación.
Because the occupation is not intended as only an allegation of non-use of public lands in this case, pending an auction, but a way of self-employment for unemployed day laborers who are participating in the occupation.
Poco antes de las tres de la tarde del viernes la Guardia Civil no se había presentado para hacer ninguna nueva identificación. Los y las ocupantes se dedican ahora a reordenar lo revuelto por el cuerpo armado (“han dejado alguna casa echa trizas, con todo revuelto y embarrado”) y a preparar los detalles del acto central del 1 de mayo que el SAT organiza precisamente en la finca ocupada. La organización prevé varios conciertos, así como talleres de autoformación sobre técnicas agrarias tradicionales.
Shortly before three o’clock in the afternoon of Friday, the Civil Guard had not submitted the occupiers to any further identification. The occupants are engaged and now it scrambled to reorganize the destrruction by the miltary police. (“left a house check shredding, yet turbulent and muddy”) and prepare the details of the central act of May 1 the SAT union organized precisely on the squatted farm e. The organization provides for several concerts and workshops on traditional agricultural techniques .
El SAT impulsó la ocupación de la hacienda el 4 de marzo. Las 400 hectaŕeas, en su mayoría de secano, de la finca de Somontes son sólo una parte de las 400.000 hectáreas de terreno agrícola que, según el sindicato, son propiedad de la Junta y mantiene improductivas.
The SAT drove the occupation of the property on 4 March. The 400 hectares, mostly rainfed farm Somontes are only part of the 400,000 hectares of agricultural land, according to the union, are the property of the Board and remains unproductive.

Ayer se celebraron 57 manifestaciones en toda España contra la reforma laboral, en vigor desde el pasado 12 de febrero. En la comunidad aragonesa hubo dos principales: en Zaragoza y en Huesca, aunque también hubo concentraciones en otros núcleos como en Benasque. las protestas de ayer escenificó un salto cuantitativo, por la multitudinaria asistencia, y cualitativo, por el hartazgo de jóvenes, parados y trabajadores que se sienten los únicos paganos de una crisis que parece no tener fin. “Se puede y se debe

As the displaced residents of Dale Farm in Essex face another round of forced evictions, Elly Robson talks to some of the families and examines the discrimination they face
The storming of Dale Farm by hundreds of riot police at dawn on 19 October 2011 was the money shot that the press had been waiting for follo
wing weeks of legal proceedings; the next day they all went home. But three months down the line, the eviction continues for the Dale Farm community, unreported. Their former home has been systematically destroyed by Constant & Co. bailiffs, who have transformed this once vibrant and close-knit community into a sewage-filled bombsite.
- With nowhere else to go, the vast majority of the displaced Travellers now live on the private road (owned by them) leading to Dale Farm and on their friends’ plots on the neighbouring Oak Lane site. Living in overcrowded conditions, they lack adequate access to water and toilet facilities, the only electricity supply is through noisy and expensive generators, and many of the young children and elderly people are ill. It is an unreported refugee camp, just thirty minutes away from London.
Arriving at the site last week, we were greeted by an elderly man who looked up at the remnants of the 
children’s rope swings hanging from the trees and said ‘What is there to live for? What hope do we have? My wife and I have talked seriously about ending it all. This is no way to live.’ While the trauma of the eviction is still vivid for the residents, it is what happens next that worries them most of all.
Kathleen, an articulate five-year-old with an acute awareness of the challenges facing her community, explained the situation to me: ‘Basildon Council and the police came and they broke everything. They broke the walls, and my granny’s caravan, and they broke all the ground, and even my mum’s back [Kathleen’s mother was hospitalised with a fractured spine during the policing operation]. We were crying and we were so scared. Now, Basildon Council want to move us again, but they can’t put us out on the road because where can we go?’…………………………..

The eviction of the Occupy Dame Street camp
A large force of Garda and council workers were deployed at 3.30am today, International Women’s Day, to clear Occupy Dame Street (ODS) camp. The camp was completely demolished in the course of the eviction, campers intimidated and their personal property stolen.
This was a level of force way out of proportion with the numbers in the camp (about 15 people) and stands in contrast with the lack of resources put into investigating what happened at Anglo, the collapse of which has left a debt of 26,000 Euro on every single person in the country.
The small Garda team ‘investigating’ what happened at Anglo only includes one forensic accountant. As far as anyone can tell they have yet to get into the computers that were encrypted and which the bank has refused to hand over the passwords for. This certainly tells us whose interests those in power protect and that the Garda will ‘just follow orders’ even if they are individually included amongst the 99% of us who 
have been screwed over.
Media coverage of the eviction suggests that it was a fairly low key affair with an overwhelming number of Garda (around 100) compared to campers (about 15) but commentary from the campers and a video interview published by the Irish Times suggests that a significant level of physical intimidation & force was used by Garda. Campers talked of pick axes being used to break into structures while they were still inside and of the seizure of mobile phones, lap tops, clothes, minutes & contact books and even bicycles that were chained on the square. This happened without warning, while people were sleeping. One of the campers said of the police that “they came like volatile bullies & terrorists .. they behaved like animals”
Updated 14.30: In a second video interview from this morning two women from ODS talked about how the Garda had arrived wearing balaclava’s, didn’t poduce the court order until they had dragged everyone off the site and had twisted their arms and stamped on their hands when they attempted to sit on the street. Just before lunch a small group were forcibly prevented from putting up tents. A number of witnesses have said that last night 
some of the Garda appeared to be carrying guns.
Latest UPDATE GARDAÍ IN DUBLIN city centre are preventing the protest group who had camped outside the Central Bank’s headquarters from 8 October until this morning from erecting any more tents at the property.
The camp was dismantled by dozens of gardaí at around 3.30am today and the area was subsequently cleaned by Dublin City Council workers.

Hoy domingo 4 de Marzo a las 11 de la mañana unos 500 miembros del Sindicato de Obreros del Campo – Sindicato Andaluz de Trabajadores hemos ocupado la finca Somonte en el término municipal de Palma del Río. Esta finca propiedad de la Junta de Andalucía sale mañana a subasta. Privatizan la tierra mientras la gente del pueblo sufre un paro extremo de 1.700 personas en Palma del Río y más de 4.000 personas paradas en los pueblos de alrededor. Están vendiendo más de 20000 hectáreas en Andalucía quedando aún unas 8.000 sin subastar. Ante este atropello el SOC-SAT se va movilizar durante estos días y el próximo jueves a las 11 de la mañana hará una manifestación en la Consejería de Agricultura de Sevilla pidiendo que se paralice esta venta de tierras y que en lugar de pasar a banqueros y terratenientes sean trabajadas por cooperativas de jornaler@s en paro.
Sunday March 4 at 11 am about 500 members of the Laborers Union City – Union Workers Andalusian Somonte have occupied the farm in the town of Palma del Río. This property owned by the Junta de Andalucía leaves tomorrow for auction. Privatize the land while the common people suffer extreme arrest 1,700 people in Palma del Rio and more than 4,000 people standing in the surrounding villages. They are selling more than 20000 hectares in Andalusia leaving about 8,000 still without offers. Before this attack the SOC-SAT will mobilize these days and on Thursday at 11 am will be a demonstration at the Ministry of Agriculture asking Sevilla to a standstill this sale of land and instead of going to bankers and landowners are farmed by cooperatives of agricultural laborers s unemployed.
A partir de esta ocupación unas 30 personas de Posadas, Palma del Río y otros pueblos se han quedado en esta finca con el objetivo de permanecer en ella y comenzar a trabajarla. Pensamos que esta es la única forma de llevar a cabo nuestras ideas consecuentemente ya que la tierra tiene que ser autogestionada por los propios trabajadores y trabajadoras para crear el máximo número de empleo y 
favorecer el desarrollo de la economía local y comarcal. El terreno de Somonte tiene 359 has. de secano y 41 has. de regadío. La parte de regadío podría dar en una primera etapa unos 50 puestos de trabajo mediante el cultivo de espárragos, cebollas y otras hortalizas. A medio plazo se podría generar mucho más empleo a través del cultivo social de todo el terreno, de agroindustrias y comercialización de los productos por medio de las inversiones necesarias
From this occupation about 30 people from Posadas, Palma del Rio and other peoples have been on this farm in order to stay there and begin to work it. We think this is the only way to carry out our ideas accordingly as the land has to be self-managed by workers themselves to create the maximum number of jobs and helping to develop local and regional economy. The field has 359 Somonte you. rainfed and 41 hectares. irrigated. The share of irrigation could result in an early stage about 50 jobs through the cultivation of asparagus, onions and other vegetables. In the medium term it could generate more employment through the social culture of the whole land, agribusiness and marketing of products through the necessary investments.
Desde el SOC-SAT hacemos un llamamiento urgente a la solidaridad de Palma del Río y los pueblos de alrededor y a todos los compañer@s de la provincia de Córdoba y de Andalucía para que apoyen estacausa viniendo a sumarse a la lucha y el trabajo en la finca de Somonte presionando a los órganos de poder, difundiendo la noticia y apoyándonos materialmente: comida, semillas, plantas, materiales, dinero y lo que se vea posible.
Esta acción debe ser el comienzo de la revolución agraria que en este momento de paro, penurias y estafa neoliberal tanta falta nos hace. Hoy en día cualquier alternativa para sobrevivir con dignidad debe pasar por la lucha por la tierra, la agricultura campesina, la soberanía alimentaria y el desarrollo que 
genera como ha pasado y vemos cada día en Marinaleda y otros pueblos de Andalucía.
Animamos a tod@s los trabajadores y parad@s de Andalucía a que luchen por la tierra pública o privada para su colectivización por parte del pueblo.
SI EL PRESENTE ES LUCHA, EL FUTURO ES NUESTRO
¡VIVA ANDALUCÍA LIBRE!
From the SOC-SAT we urgently appeal to the solidarity of Palma del Rio and the surrounding villages and all the comrades’ s the province of Cordoba and Andalusia to support this cause coming to join the fight and work in the estate of Somonte pressing the organs of power, spreading the word and supporting us materially food, seeds, plants, materials, money and see what is possible.
This action must be the beginning of the agrarian revolution in this time of unemployment, hardship and neoliberal scam we need so badly. Today any alternative to survive with dignity must go through the struggle for land, farming, food sovereignty and development that generates as has happened and see every day in Marinaleda and other towns of Andalusia.
We encourage tod @ s workers and parad Andalusia ‘s fight for public or private land for collectivisation by the people.
IF THIS IS FIGHT, THE FUTURE IS OURS
ANDALUSIA LIVE FREE!

WHEN PIGS CRY
The vache (that’s the French cops to you and me) scored a hilarious own goal last week at la ZAD protest site near Nantes: They tear-gassed themselves.
Around 100-150 cops had turned up to police a protest on Tuesday (14th) of around 40 ZAD occupiers and some local farmers whose fields were being valued. As the state and corporation Vinci press ahead with the long-awaited, and much-opposed, plan for a new international airport to be built on over 6km2 of the southern France countryside, the valuing of land for compensation agreements is one of the last remaining steps before imminent destruction.
Deciding the presence of the site riff raff (who may or may not have been planning on blocking the land valuers access to the fields…) justified riot control policing, one butterfingered cop pulled out a tear gas canister which, seconds later, inexplicably exploded behind the police line. Activists proceeded to piss themselves laughing at the sight of floundering, crying robocops while the bosses behind hogged the eye-drops. Their faces were even redder later as they struggled through muddy fields as nimble protesters gave them the run around.
The episode was the latest in the saga of the Notre-Dame des Landes airport. The airport is just one part of the meglomaniac ‘Grand Ouest’ project incorporating a new road system and the expansion of the 
Saint Nazaire port (“What’s climate change?”). Most land-owners have already sold their land to the government but a handful still resist, either wholeheartedly rejecting the devastating plans or just holding out for more dolla: the current offers stand at a meagre 16cents per square meter, while Vinci stands to siphon millions in public money to concrete the lot.
Some of the land expropriated by the state, meanwhile, has been re-appropriated by squatters occupying empty farm buildings and treehouses. Although a couple of squats, including the hub Les Planchettes, have been on eviction alert for several weeks ZAD inhabitants are busy with a timetable of workshops, building, riding the airwaves with the ZAD’s Radio Klaxton and planning for the upcoming True Substances week of demonstration, skill shares and action (5th – 10th March).

Occupy London condemns demolition of the School of Ideas building
Illegal evictions aren’t unusual and happen all the time, but it is rare for a building to cease to exist so fast afterwards!
Complete with redacted text, Kenneth Clarke MP signed the warrant of possession for the Occupy London School of Ideas building, that Master Bragg issued two weeks ago and around midnight – at the same time as the eviction of Occupy London Stock Exchange by St Paul’s – high court enforcement officers backed by the Met Police, stormed the building without notice from the court and evicted 25 people. [1]
Very little was saved and very few people were allowed back in to collect what was inside. Usually there would be a day given when people could return and collect what was inside, but this day won’t come because at 6am bulldozers arrived and began the demolition at 8am.
Amongst the rubble of the old Moorfield Primary School, you’ll find children’s clothes and toys, as well as passports and medication of Occupy London protesters who had been working with the local community to use the building to house workshops focusing on social, economic, environmental and cultural issues.
Only last week the local community asked the council to buy back the school and keep it as either a primary school or community space.
Occupy London condemns the demolition of the building without regard to the needs of the community.

We’ve counted some 140 ”Occupied Social Centers” the Spanish state. (en castellano abajo)
”In every neighborhood an occupied social center… The movement is no longer so defensive, enclosed in a comfortable (and sometimes thankless) ghetto, and has begun to expand. It’s a good time to welcome without fear new people from other political traditions, and above all, people never politicized.”
In ‘A las Barricadas’ magazine we published a map some months ago of social centers (squats or not), cultural associations, think tanks, foundations, social libraries, bookstores and other places of anti-authoritarian character.The very variety of the Iberian anarchism today, makes it difficult to categorize or locate many spaces.
The 15M Occupy The Streets Movement
One of the results of the huge new assembly based movement of 
15M, in 2011 ( an anti party and anti leader movement which is still spreading round the world), has been the number of occupations that its various assemblies have opened up. Apart from Madrid and Barcelona, the squatters of 15M have occupied centers in Zaragoza, Cuenca, Murcia, Vigo, Burgos, Oviedo, Palma and Leon. We can not deny that it is positive that they have adopted the practice of direct action. (note.. this refers to the common complaint that the 15M ‘Take the Streets’ movement is much too pacifist.)
Some of these are squatting symbolically, a flower of one day, others are intended for housing, but some have become neighborhood social centers. Its easy for old activists to be critical of starry eyed kids. However the 15M intentions of being a social center have identical demands to those of social centers in 
the 90′s. (Note.. many occupations are of public services threatened with closure.)
Squat the Basque Country
Speaking of the phenomenon of squatting we need to observe different contexts in the Spanish state. For example, it is known that all the comrades in Euskal Herriak play in another “League” as there are ‘gaztetxes okupados‘ squatted almost everywhere. In Bilbo city alone there are about a dozen. The idea is, more or less, of a “social center in each neighborhood.” Strongly influenced by the political context, of course. In most of the gaztetxes leftwing nationalism is more or less open. In other cases they are more hippies, with less political content, and others are autonomous or even libertarian. Reflecting the strength of this movement is the huge response to the eviction of Kukutza III in Bilbo, easily the biggest rally in favour of squatting in recent years (probably) in Europe. On the other hand, in Iruña (Pamplona) there has been a marked decline, from 10 to 1 (Zizur Nagusia) in recent years, the result of brutal continuous and long lasting repression.(represión.)
Revolutionary Barcelona and Catalunya
In the city of Barcelona is also fulfilled the phrase “in every neighborhood an occupied social center.” It is
La Carbonera. Barcelona 2012
possible that even in every neighborhood there are several. According to the weekly info-mural sheet ‘USURPER’ (Info Usurpa) in the city there are about 24 CSOs (Occupied Social centers), to which must be added those that carry out their activities from time to time and do not appear in InfoUsurpa. What’s more, we should add another dozen libraries and social ‘ateneos’ (autonomous workers centers) with more or less explicitly libertarian inspiration. In total at least 40 community centers (including Ateneos and others) in the city (but not all with daily activity). In the past decade the squatcenters have attracted many young (and not so young) who came to the city from all sides. In some neighborhoods the squatting has been endemic, as in Vallcarca or Poble Nou. Now there is a little everywhere, especially in Carmel, Sant Andreu, Sants, Horta, Clot, the Raval … It has lost the strong presence that it had in Gràcia in the past, but it has moved to other neighborhoods.
But the phenomenon of squatting has spread across the whole of Catalonia. CSOs can now be found in the industrial cities around Barcelona.. Molins de Rei, L’Hospitalet, Cornella, Vilamoura, Castelldefells, Santa Coloma, Badalona, etc.. There is also some displacement of squatters into neighboring Sierra Collserola mountains in the municipalities of Sant Cugat, Cerdanyola, Moncada, La Llagosta … Kan Pasqual and Can Masdeu.. are rur-urban squatters, with one foot in the city and another in the field. This idea has spread to other CSOs around Barcelona.
And of course the rest of Catalonia, Tarragona, Reus, Baix Llobregat, Barcelona Nord, Sabadell, Terrassa, Manresa, Cerdanyola, Girona, Figueres, Lleida, and so on. There are probably as many CSOs outside as inside Barcelona city. Often there is a “squatter emigration” from Barcelona to the villages and smaller towns. In others it is the original people from the villages, that after participating in the Barcelona squatting movement, have decided to return home to OKKUPY. Note.. The 15M Occupy movement is also strongly attracted back to the land.
A problem that may be associated is the creation of certain “culture of the snack bar.” This means that the 
militant social circle in the center evolve a lack of communication with other social centers (of even their own neighborhood), without being coordinated to carry out common good politics. Sometimes more centers can mean more dispersal of social activists.. Managing an occupied social space can be difficult and exhausting. Especially if you enter into the dynamics of judgments, evictions, squatters, enabling space, student holidays … which can lead to disabling social activists for months until they have their own space underway again.
The 1930´s movement and Today
In the 30′s, according to Pere Solà, there were about 200 Ateneo centers run by Catalan workers. Today the number of social and cultural associations – although we may wonder – is not much less than this amount (about 70 between squatted social centers and cultural associations, some 50 of the Catalan independence movement and another 20 or 30 ideologically undefined). But whereas in the years ranging from 1910 to 1939, every Ateneo had 100, 200 or 500 people associated today in every community center there is an affinity group that is managed and how much some groups that give use . That is, if successful, the social center will have a dozen people running it, or if we include supporters who go through the CSO or Ateneo about 50 or 70 people (which is not bad, of course!). In short, if in the 30′s the phenomenon of labor ateneísmo figures moved tens of thousands of members and activists today are just a few hundred people and a few thousand supporters.
Among the short-term needs is the coordination of social centers belonging to the same ideological tradition (eg, CSOs more explicitly anarchist libertarians with the Athenians) and intergenerational generation of spaces in which knowledge is transmitted and take a policy formation process of the new generations (so you do not have to “reinvent the wheel” again and repeating the same mistakes that past generations).
As to what is known as “squatters’ movement” … In the Barcelona squatting no longer dominates the anarcho-punk atmosphere of the past, which made squatting had a certain aesthetic and ideological coherence, but now there are many variations with many political and aesthetic nuances, which makes it impossible to identify the new squatters politically as belonging to the same movement. Some are separatists, communists, autonomous anarchists, women, postmodern, queer, punk, counter-cultural, 
ravers, undefined, and so on. Is not the same Can Vies, as Kasa de la Muntanya, you can’t compare the series of Rimaia free university occupations with the District VI and the huge ‘circus squats’..
In Barcelona, today we should speak of “squatting” without more adjectives, iunstead of “squatters’ movement.” We believe that what really should matter is whether a social center falls within the libertarian movement or not, whether that’s part of its business or not. And if so, begin to create opportunities for mutual understanding and collaboration. We understand that the root cause of the malfunction la Assemblea d’Okupes of Barcelona is the very fact that the squatter movement is too dispersed. Otherwise, the generations go by without libertarian practice evolving ideologically, and centers burn out naturally over the years.
Madrid Squat movement taking off
By number, Madrid would be the third area of the state with more squats. Today there are about 15 in the capital and about 6 in the Community. This is a record. There has never been more occupied social centers. There are also other universities and community centers that complete the picture coming to be more than 40 social spaces. A similar situation occurs in the city of Barcelona, which is sometimes duplicated efforts, and collaborate rather than fall into certain excess of diversity. However, as there are fewer social centers in Barcelona, it is logical to occur later this numerical growth causes the subsequent referral to the various political movements that adhere to different centers (anarchists, communists, postmodern, and so on. .) Since then Madrid is still in growth phase, but at a pace that will squats in the city in a few years will be achieved or install an Athenian social center in each neighborhood.
And all over the place!!!
Galicia is an area that has experienced a remarkable growth occupied social centers, driven mainly by the independence movement there. In some ways trying to emulate their fellow Basques and Catalans, and to some extent have achieved success going from almost zero to twenty social centers in five years. In the 
more libertarian countryside there are 5 and about 3 ‘athenaeum’ squats and social libraries. There are also 5 other local initiatives which can classed as libertarian.
As for the rest of the peninsula, we have the case of Andalucia, which despite all its extension has little tradition except in Granada, Seville and Malaga. In any case in recent years there have also been occupations (some failed to take) in Cordoba, Cadiz, Chiclana and Moron. Here its often squats of blocks of flats with neighbors, where social activists join in squatting and which become social centers occasionally (this also happens in Madrid and Barcelona).
There are also new CSOs on the island of Tenerife (2), Murcia (2), Cuenca (2), Burgos (2, 1 and evicted), Logroño, Salamanca, Valladolid, Leon, Salamanca, Oviedo, Palma, Zaragoza .. . and many places that years ago would have been unexpected as Arnedo, Badajoz, Plasencia or even Valdepeñas (who was evicted). And say nothing of smaller towns rhytm, Madrid and Catalonia, with squats (and some even more).
We conclude that the phenomenon of squatting, despite the laws, despite police repression and all the “bad reputation” associated with it, has remained over time, and has even spread throughout the Spanish state . Right now all regions except Cantabria have squatted social centers( although it had one three years ago and has some ‘Atheneos’. According to the map, there are some 140 CSOs counted statewide, but some are probably left out and others already lost.
For several years the libertarian movement has been complaining about the lack of anarchist Ateneos. (traditional workers social centers). Usually these Atheneos were linked with anarcho-syndicalist unions, but by the 70′s some were created in Catalonia which were autonomous anarchist organizations. With the advent of the crisis in the Iberian anarchism in the 80 and 90, the number of Ateneos remained very low and usually associated with anarcho-syndicalist unions who organised them.
Anyway, in the last 5 years or so, we are seeing an upturn, with the creation of new explicitly libertarian cultural associations . The drive has several sources. On one side are the unions that create them, because they believe it is the line to be followed for the training of its members and to lead them cultural activity. 
On the other hand, we have different anarchist activists who, instead of creating a social center create an ideologically undefined libertarian ‘ateneo’ . Some of these activists have learned from their experiences in squatted environments , or being in assemblies too pluralistic for their point of view. The fact is that now there are about 50 libertarian cultural associations in the state and every month we hear of new ones.
The creation of free spaces, the generalization of these initiatives in particular areas (cities and districts with several social centers), and horizontal expansion (in terms of territory: new districts, new towns and cities which are receiving social activist groups) cause the spread of anti-authoritarian practices and are fairly widespread.
It is clear that this freedom movement of our time lacks an ideological coherence. Many people involved in these initiatives refuse to be labeled as anarchists. There is no self-consciousness of “liberation 
movement” out of the unions libertarian or the Athenians, and autonomous or anarchist insurrectionary groups. We need to change this dynamic and work together to include self-managed different libertarian initiatives in a social-political movement, coherent in terms of principles and objectives, while plural as to tactics. But that all members feel part of the project and see their initiatives as complementary.
We must begin to recognize that we are not so few as 15 years ago, and we need to change perspective. The movement is no longer so defensive, enclosed in a comfortable (and sometimes thankless) ghetto, and has begun to expand. It’s a good time to welcome without fear new people from other political traditions, and above all, people never politicized. The emergence of 15M reminds us of the need to be attentive to what happens in the street, not to despise any opportunity to let our message be heard, because after all “there is something left.” And above all, lets take every opportunity to continue building this libertarian infrastructure (spaces, own media, support groups, means of economic self-management, etc..) To be the basis of “parallel society”.

original Spanish version
Hay contabilizados unos 140 CSO en todo el estado, pero como siempre, “ni son todos los que están ni están todos los que son”.
En Alasbarricadas publicamos hace meses un mapaque hace las veces de directorio de centros sociales (okupados o no), ateneos, centros de estudios, fundaciones, bibliotecas sociales, librerías y otros espacios de carácter anti-autoritario. Se trata de crear un listado exhaustivo de iniciativas libertarias destinado a convertirse en una herramienta más del movimiento libertario (o de los diferentes movimientos anti-autoritarios). Es importante que la gente que comienza a tener curiosidad por el anarquismo o inquietudes sociales, tenga lugares de referencia en los que encontrar anarquistas. Sin embargo, la propia variedad del anarquismo ibérico actual, hace difícil catalogar o localizar muchos espacios. Por ello el directorio es lo más amplio posible, sin ánimo de excluir a nadie, intentando que cada persona pueda encontrar y desarrollar sus afinades.
Pero también estos mapas sirven para realizar análisis en base a los datos que aportan. Probablemente 
uno de los resultados colaterales del movimiento del 15M, del 2011, haya sido la cantidad de okupaciones que sus diferentes asambleas han llevado a cabo. Estas okupaciones han afectado incluso a territorios anteriormente libres de okupaciones, extendiendo esta práctica. Además de Madrid y Barcelona, las okupaciones del 15M se han desarrollado por Zaragoza, Cuenca, Murcia, Vigo, Burgos, Oviedo, Palma o León. No sabemos en qué pararán estas nuevas okupaciones, pero no podemos negar que es positivo que hayan adoptado la práctica de la acción directa.
Algunas son okupaciones simbólicas, flor de un día, otras están destinadas a viviendas, pero más de una se convertirá en centro social de barrio. Quienes llevamos ya años en temas políticos habremos leído otras veces comunicados sobre las intenciones de un centro social okupado cualquiera. Por muy del 15M que sean, las intenciones de ser un centro social de “barrio para el barrio”, que realice “actividades para lxs vecinxs”, así como que sea un “lugar de encuentro”… son idénticas a las de los centros sociales de los 90.
Hablando del fenómeno de la okupación observamos diferentes contextos en el estado español. Por ejemplo, de todxs es sabido que en Euskal Herriak juegan en otra “Liga” ya que hay gaztetxes okupados casi por todas partes. Solamente en Bilbo ciudad hay cerca de una decena. Se cumple, más o menos, la idea de un “centro social en cada barrio”. Influye mucho el contexto político, claro está. De hecho la mayoría de los gaztetxes orbitan en torno a la izquierda abertzale de una forma más o menos abierta. En 
otros casos son más hippies, con menos contenido político, y en otros incluso autónomos o libertarios. Como muestra de la fuerza de este movimiento okupa autóctono está la respuesta al desalojo de Kukutza III, en Bilbo, produciéndose la manifestación en favor de la okupación más grande de los últimos años (probablemente) de Europa. De todas formas en Iruña se ha dado un descenso acusado, pasando de 10 a 1 (el de Zizur Nagusia) en los últimos años, fruto de una brutal represión.
CATALUNYA
En la ciudad de Barcelona se cumple también esa frase de “en cada barrio un centro social”. Es posible que incluso en cada barrio existan varios. Según la hoja mural del Info Usurpa, en toda la ciudad hay unos 24 CSOs, a los que habría que sumar los que realizan actividades propias de vez en cuando y que no aparecen en el Usurpa. Por si fuera poco, habría que sumarle otra decena de ateneos y bibliotecas sociales de inspiración algo más explícitamente libertaria. Fácilmente habrá unos 40 centros sociales (incluyendo ateneos y demás) en la ciudad (pero no todos con actividad diaria). En la pasada década se ha consolidado la okupación, atrayendo a numerosos jóvenes (y no tan jóvenes) que venían a la ciudad de todas partes. En algunos barrios la okupación ha sido endémica, como en Vallcarca o Poble Nou. Ahora se da un poco por todas partes, en especial (además de en esos barrios) en el Carmelo, Sant Andreu, Sants, Horta, Clot, Raval… Se ha perdido la fuerte presencia que hubo en Gràcia en otros tiempos, pero ésta se ha trasladado a otros barrios.
Pero el fenómeno de la okupación se ha extendido por Cataluña entera. Predominan por número los CSOs de las ciudades industriales de los alrededores de Barcelona como Molins de Rei, L’Hospitalet, Cornellà, Viladecans, Castelldefells, Santa Coloma, Badalona, etc. Aunque también se observa cierto desplazamiento de okupas hacia la vecina Sierra de Collserola (a tiro de metro o tren) en los municipios de Sant Cugat, Cerdanyola, Montcada, La Llagosta… Kan Pasqual y Can Masdeu abrieron la veda de las okupas rur-urbanas, con un pie en la ciudad y otro en el campo. Esta idea se ha extendido a otros CSO de los alrededores de Barcelona.
Y por supuesto también en el resto de Cataluña, como en Tarragona, Reus, el Baix Llobregat, Barcelonès Nord, Sabadell, Terrassa, Manresa, Cerdanyola, Girona, Figueres, Lleida, y un largo etcétera. Probablemente existan ya tantos CSO activos fuera de Barcelona como dentro. Muchas veces se produce una “emigración okupa” desde Barcelona hacia los pueblos y ciudades más pequeñas. En otras es la propia gente emigrada desde estos pueblos, que al participar en el movimiento okupa de Barcelona, al retornar a casa decide okupar.
El problema que puede llevar asociado tanto centro social es la creación de cierta “cultura del chiringuito”. Es decir, que la militancia se encierre en su centro social produciéndose una incomunicación con los demás centros sociales (de incluso su propio barrio), sin llegar nunca a coordinarse para llevar a cabo una acción común efectiva políticamente. Así, se podría dar que, a más centros sociales más dispersión de la militancia. Y es que gestionar un espacio cuesta mucho esfuerzo. Especialmente si se entra en la dinámica de juicios, desalojos, okupación, habilitación del espacio, vacaciones estudiantiles… que puede llevar a desactivar militantes sociales durante meses hasta que tienen su espacio propio en marcha otra vez.
En los años 30, según datos de Pere Solà , había en Cataluña unos 200 ateneos obreros. Hoy en día el número de centros sociales y ateneos – aunque nos pueda sorprender – será no mucho menor de esta cifra (unos 70 entre centros sociales okupados y ateneos, otros 50 del movimiento independentista catalán y otros 20 o 30 sin definir ideológicamente). Pero mientras que en los años que iban desde 1910 al 1939, en cada ateneo había 100, 200 o 500 personas asociadas, hoy en día en cada centro social existe un grupo de afinidad que lo gestiona y como mucho algunos grupos más que le dan uso. Es decir, que si tiene éxito, el centro social tendrá una veintena de personas llevándolo, o si contamos los simpatizantes pasarán por el CSO u ateneo unas 50 o 70 personas (que no está mal, claro). En resumen, que si en los años 30 el fenómeno del ateneísmo obrero movía cifras de decenas de miles de socios y militantes, hoy en día son solo unos cuantos cientos de personas y algunas miles de simpatizantes.
Entre las necesidades a corto plazo está la coordinación de los centros sociales pertenecientes a la misma tradición ideológica (por ejemplo, los CSO más explícitamente libertarios con los ateneos anarquistas) y la generación de espacios comunes intergeneracionales en los que se transmitan conocimientos y se dé un proceso de formación política de las nuevas generaciones (para que no tengan que “reinventar la rueda” una vez más y caer en los mismos errores que las generaciones pasadas).
En tanto a lo que se conoce como “movimiento okupa”… En la okupación barcelonesa ya no predomina el 
ambiente anarko-punk del pasado, que hacía que la okupación tuviera una cierta coherencia estética e ideológica, sino que ahora se dan muchas variantes con muchos matices políticos y estéticos, que imposibilita que los nuevos okupas se identifiquen políticamente como pertenecientes al mismo movimiento. Las hay independentistas, comunistas, autónomas, anarquistas, de mujeres, posmodernas, queer, punks, contra-culturales, raveras, sin definir, etc. No es lo mismo Can Vies, que la Kasa de la Muntanya, ni que la Rimaia o el Distrito VI.
Por ello, en tanto a Barcelona, hoy en día se debiera hablar de “okupación” sin más, sin adjetivos, renunciando a hablar de “movimiento okupa”. Creemos que lo que nos debe importar realmente es si un centro social entra dentro del movimiento libertario o no, si participa de su actividad o no. Y si es así, comenzar a generar espacios de entendimiento mutuo y de colaboración. Entendemos que la causa de fondo de que no funcione laAssemblea d’Okupes de Barcelona es el propio hecho de que el movimiento okupa es demasiado disperso. De otra manera, las generaciones van pasando sin profundizar en la práctica libertaria, sin evolucionar ideológicamente, quemándose de forma natural con los años.
Madrid..
Por número, Madrid sería la tercera zona con más okupaciones del estado. Hoy en día hay unas 15 en la capital y unas 6 en la Comunidad. Se trata de una cifra récord. Nunca ha habido más centros sociales okupados. Además existen otros ateneos y centros sociales que completan el panorama llegando a haber más de 40 espacios sociales. Ocurre una situación parecida a la de Barcelona ciudad, que en ocasiones se duplican esfuerzos, y que en vez de colaborar se cae en cierto exceso de diversidad. Sin embargo, al existir menos centros sociales que en la ciudad condal, es lógico que se produzca ese crecimiento numérico que posteriormente provoque la derivación posterior hacia los distintos movimientos políticos a los que se adhieren los diferentes centros (anarquistas, comunistas, posmodernos, etc.). Desde luego aún Madrid 
está en fase de crecimiento, pero al ritmo que van las okupaciones en la ciudad en pocos años se logrará instalar un ateneo o centro social en cada barrio.
GALIZA
Galiza, es una zona en la que se ha experimentando un crecimiento más notable de centros sociales, impulsados sobre todo por el movimiento independentista de allí. En algunos aspectos intentan emular a sus correligionarios vascos y catalanes, y de cierta manera han logrado un éxito al pasar de casi cero hasta la veintena de centros sociales en un lustro. En el campo máslibertario hay 5 okupaciones y unos 3 ateneos y bibliotecas sociales. Además hay otros 5 locales en los que pueden encontrarse iniciativas libertarias.
En tanto al resto de la península, tenemos el caso de Andalucía, que a pesar de toda su extensión y población la okupación política no tiene tradición más que en Granada, Sevilla y Málaga. De todas formas en los últimos años se han producido okupaciones (algunas no lograron durar) en Córdoba, Cádiz, Chiclana o Morón. Aquí se dan más las okupaciones de bloques de viviendas con vecinos, en los que también se meten a vivir activistas sociales, convirtiendo la okupación en un centro social ocasional (ocurre lo mismo en Madrid y Barcelona).
También se observan nuevos CSOs en la isla de Tenerife (2), Murcia (2), Cuenca (2), Burgos (2; 1 desalojado ya), Logroño, Salamanca, Valladolid, León, Salamanca, Oviedo, Palma, Zaragoza… y muchos lugares que hace años habría sido insospechado como Arnedo, Badajoz, Plasencia o incluso en Valdepeñas (que fue desalojada). Y esto sin hablar de pueblos más pequeños en Euskal Herria, Madrid o Cataluña, que tienen okupaciones (y algunos con incluso varias).
Se puede concluir que el fenómeno de las okupaciones, a pesar de las leyes, a pesar de la represión policial y de toda la “mala fama” que lleva asociado, ha permanecido en el tiempo, e incluso se ha extendido por todo el estado español. Ahora mismo todas las comunidades autónomas excepto Cantabria tienen centros sociales okupados, aunque ésta tuvo uno hace tres años y mantiene algunos ateneos. Según el mapa, hay contabilizados unos 140 CSO en todo el estado, pero como siempre, “ni son todos los que están ni están todos los que son”.
Desde hace varios años el movimiento libertario ha venido quejándose de la falta deAteneos Libertarios. Normalmente estos ateneos estaban vinculados con los sindicatos anarcosindicalistas, pero hacia los años 70 se crearon algunos en Cataluña que eran autónomos de las organizaciones anarquistas. Con la llegada de la crisis del anarquismo ibérico en los años 80 y los 90, el número de ateneos permaneció muy bajo, y generalmente ligados a los sindicatos anarcosindicalistas que los montaban.
De todas formas, desde hace unos 5 años, se está produciendo un repunte mediante la creación de nuevos ateneos explícitamente libertarios. El impulso tiene varios orígenes. Por un lado están los sindicatos que los crean, porque creen que es la línea que deben seguir para la formación de sus militantes y para derivar en ellos su actividad cultural. Por otro lado, tenemos a diferentes activistas anarquistas, que en lugar de crear un centro social sin definir ideológicamente crean un ateneo libertario debido a sus ideas previas. 
Algunos de estos activistas vienen quemados de sus experiencias en entornos okupados, o bien, de estar en asambleas demasiado plurales para su punto de vista. El caso es que ahora hay unos 50 ateneos libertarios en el estado y cada mes tenemos noticia de nuevos.
La creación de espacios liberados, la generalización de estas iniciativas en puntos concretos (ciudades y barrios con varios centros sociales), y su expansión en horizontal (en cuanto a territorio: nuevos barrios, nuevos pueblos y ciudades que van recibiendo grupos de activistas sociales) hacen que la difusión de las prácticas anti-autoritarias esté bastante generalizada.
Está claro que a este movimiento libertario de nuestro tiempo le falta una coherencia ideológica. Muchas personas que participan en estas iniciativas se niegan a etiquetarse como anarquistas. No existe una conciencia propia de “movimiento libertario” fuera de los sindicatos libertarios o los ateneos, y de los grupos insurreccionalistas o anarquistas autónomos. Es necesario cambiar esta dinámica y aunar esfuerzos para incluir las diferentes iniciativas libertarias autogestionarias en un movimiento político-social coherente en cuanto a principios y objetivos y a la vez plural en cuanto a tácticas. Pero que todos sus integrantes se sientan parte del mismo proyecto y quieran que sus iniciativas se complementen.
Tenemos que empezar a reconocer que ya no somos tan poca gente como hace 15 años, y que es necesario cambiar de perspectiva. El movimiento ya no está tan a la defensiva, encerrado en un cómodo (y a veces ingrato) ghetto, y comienza a expandirse, pero debe saber acoger sin miedo a nuevas gentes provenientes de otras tradiciones políticas, y, sobre todo, a personas nunca antes politizadas. La irrupción del 15M nos recuerda la necesidad de estar atentas a lo que ocurre en la calle, no despreciar ninguna oportunidad para que se escuche nuestro mensaje porque después de todo “algo queda”. Y sobre todo aprovechar cada situación para seguir construyendo esta infraestructura libertaria (espacios, medios de comunicación propios, grupos de apoyo mutuo, medios de autogestión económica, etc.) que será la base de la “sociedad paralela”.

”Occupy Everything! Call-Out to Occupy Buildings on January 28th, 2012 January 12, 2012 at 9:53 pm
We call on people to reclaim space in their areas on January 28th in the spirit of the occupy movement, but first and foremost to move past the idea of private property and build communities of resistance.
Groups in multiple cities have already announced plans for building takeovers on this date. We urge people to partake in actions that match their capacity. Momentum is on our side; resistance is building.
The natural next step of the occupy movement is to create a political squatting movement that will be a base of power for the continued struggle against the state and capitalism.”
https://incorporealcommittee.wordpress.com/
Comment and 10 Tips.. COPY Spain!!
In Spain also squatting is a criminal offence. Yet in Catalunya alone there are dozens of thriving ‘ Occupied Self managed Social Centers of every description.’ How is this possible? any movement to grab a bit of free space in the US could learnlots from our ideas and tactics.
Occupied self managed social center.. barcelona 2012
Here ae some tips from an ancient squatter.
1. Pick a building that’s long disused or forgotten or that it’s a disgrace to be abandoned.
2.Invite the neighbours to open house type participation from the start.
3. Immediately start all kinds of daily activities, from yoga to dance to ‘freegan’ cafes etc
4. Decide things by assembly, seeking consensus, this short circuits the ‘politicos’ and power obsessed men
5. People living there have first choice, maybe we can ‘adopt’ one person with problems, but we
can’t invite in all the drug and mental casualties of the brutal capitalism-
6.Good Squat Centers are often begun by an already strong group of friends.
7. The local economy is often based on recycling and benefit parties.
8. A great tactic is to have a backup place in case you don’t survive the first crucial days
9. A theme is a good idea, from Circus Squats, Womens centers, Prisoners Aid, rural permaculture, etc.
10. Above all look out for each other, beyond personal irritations, and enjoy the adventure!
THEY’LL NEVETR EVICT OUR DREAMS”
Like this:
On the morning of January 10, about twenty members of the assembly of solidarity with the case of Revolutionary Struggle 
(Epanastatikos Agonas, whose trial is currently underway), joined the corporation flash.gr radio station in the Kifisias Avenue and stopped the program from the station to transmit a message of solidarity with the accused.
Although neither the direction of the station or its staff formally requested the intervention of the police, dozens of them (DIAS motorcycle units, such as MAT squads, plainclothes police officers, among others) soon arrived at the scene and surrounded the building. At about 14.00 hours, after hours of being locked in the offices of the radio, the anarchists who participated in the intervention of solidarity were arrested en masse and taken to police headquarters on Alexandras Avenue: two prosecutors , along with squads of police, stormed the radio station, forcing the partners to leave the premises, all were handcuffed and held in police buses, while their mobile phones were confiscated.
As soon as the news spread, anarchists gathered outside the police headquarters (GADA), where a solidarity protest of about 100 people was conducted.
Here is part of a text published by the same 20 detainees’ s:
Today, January 10, 2012, the companions of esapcio anarchist / anti-authoritarian we conducted an intervention in the company’s FM radio station Flash 96 in the context of a series of solidarity actions in the case of Revolutionary Struggle, trial was conducted from October 5, 2011, in the special court Koridallos prison.
We have taken this action in an effort to break the wall of silence and the political order of muzzling the judicial and political discourse of the defendants in the case of Revolutionary Struggle.
It appears that all comrades l @ s @ s s are accused of a misdemeanor of “inciting violence”. ‘S are now threatened to be arrested and should be tomorrow at the hearing, 11 / 1, in the courts Evelpidon in Athens, around the 12:00 BHRS. We call for unconditional absolution!

Desallotgen l’antiga seu de Caixa Terrassa a la Floresta
Àgata GuinóPoble Els Mossos d’Esquadra han desallotjat a primeres hores d’aquest matí el local de la Caixa Terrassa a la Floresta, que estava ocupat des de mitjan novembre. L’espai s’utilitzava com Ateneu i com a seu d’una cooperativa ecològica
L’antiga seu de Caixa Terrassa a la Floresta, ubicada a la plaça Miquel Ros, ha estat desallotjada a primeres hores d’aquesta matí de dimecres pels Mossos d’Esquadra. En el moment de l’entrada dels cossos de seguretat, l’espai no estava ocupat per cap persona. Al matí, els ocupants del local han arribat i han trobat els antiavalots que els hi han permès treure els llibres, materials i altres objectes que tenien dins l’antiga seu bancària.
Els ocupes han lamentat l’actuació policial ja que han explicat que el local donava servei d’Ateneu al barri i que ara cap espai cobrirà aquestes necessitats. També han exposat que abans del desallotjament no havien rebut cap avís judicial. D’altra banda, han afirmat que hi havia una quinzena d’agents antiavalots de la policia catalana, però que no hi ha hagut cap incident i han assegurat que els Mossos s’han portat correctament. Segons fonts dels usuaris del local, els cossos de seguretat han esbotzat la porta principal de l’edifici per entrar. A les nou del matí tres paletes tapiaven la porta d’entrada al local amb rajoles.
Fonts policials han explicat que una dotació d’antiavalots, més tres patrulles de la comissaria dels Mossos d’Esquadra de Sant Cugat s’han desplaçat fins a la plaça Miquel Ros per desallotjar el local ocupat a les set del matí. A més han destacat l’ordre pacífic en què s’ha portat a terme l’actuació.
Ateneu i cooperativa ecològica
El local ocupat donava el servei d’Ateneu del barri. Cada dia es programaven diferents activitats i tallers en els quals podien participar els infants. Per aquest dimecres a la tarda hi havia programat un taller de fang per a la mainada. A més, l’espai s’utilitzava com a seu de la cooperativa ecològica el senglar. Els membres d’aquesta utilitzaven el local per intercanviar productes d’horts ecològics de la zona.
Squatting has become more and more common (or more conspicuous) as part of the Occupy movement. An unfinished duplex at 23rd and Alder has been occupied by a collective of people since mid November. That group of unnamed defendants have been summoned to court for eviction. The court date has been set for December 28.
occupy Seattle
2:44PM – UPDATE – Slog says they spokewith some of the former residents who told a slightly different story about the house occupation:
They held up the house key. An anonymous “elf” had come by the Occupy Seattle encampment at SCCC a few weeks ago and handed them the key and the address, they said. (A different anonymous donor also gave them a sailboat that they’ll begin using and painting in the spring.) Inside, they’d begun painting a forest landscape, and planned a waterfall down the staircase; they titled the house “Water.” They denied doing damage or being a haven for any kind of destructive activity and said they didn’t know of any complaints from neighbors. Instead, they saw the house as a home base for adding art to the immediate neighborhood. To that end, they’d completed a mural nearby yesterday, on Fir Street between 14th and 15th, on a garage wall offered to them by a resident. Also yesterday, another donor gave them furniture: a futon, bookcases.
Two of their fellow occupiers are still in jail, set to be
released on bail this afternoon. The third person arrested was not part of the occupation and never had lived in the house, they say. He, along with about 50 other protesters against the raid, had come to show his support, and when he stepped onto the grass, he was arrested, the occupiers say. He is the one charged with weapons violations, they say: He had a pocket knife in his pants pocket, which he then offered to the police, for which they booked him on the weapons charge.

‘Occupy’ protesters reclaiming foreclosed homes in 20 cities
#OccupyOurHomes, By David Edwards. The 99 percent movement, which has been evicted from many of their encampments across the country, is finding common cause with thousands of homeowners who are also being evicted from their homes.
Even though the movement has often been criticized for a lack of defined goals, Tuesday’s “Occupy Our Homes” action in at least 20 cities makes it clear that they are standing up to banks to reverse foreclosures.
“We’re in the neighborhood in New York City that had the highest number of foreclosure filings in 2010 to send a message that the economy is failing the 99 percent,” Vocal New York organizer Sean Barry told Raw Story from a Brooklyn neighborhood as about 200 protesters chanted in the background.
“We’re here because [there are] a lot of empty buildings owned by Wall Street banks and we’re going to liberate them.”
Tasha Glasgow, the single mother of a 9-year-old daughter and a 5-year-old son, was expected to be one of the first occupants of a reclaimed home. Barry said that Glasgow, who had been in and out of the shelter system in New York City, had been slated to get a Section 8 voucher before budget cuts by Mayor Michael Bloomberg put an end to that promise.
“We’ve gained access to the home, and we’ve got the support of the neighbors,” Barry explained. “They’re going to start occupying it. … And then, there’s going to be 24/7 eviction defense by Occupy Wall Street.”
There were over 40 events planned in more than 20 cities Tuesday, but that is just the beginning.
“When it comes to Wall Street’s control over our economy, our democracy and our lives, there’s few better examples than the housing crisis,” Barry noted. “Occupy Wall Street is going to continue to support this national Occupy Our Homes campaign, and both defend homeowners who are being threatened with eviction due to foreclosure, and to move families that need homes into vacant buildings that banks are just sitting on.”
David Edwards has served as an editor at Raw Story since 2006. Follow him on Twitter at @DavidEdwards.

Building Occupied in Seattle! |
From Tides of Flame
On Saturday, November 19th, a group of about 60 people marched from the occupation at Seattle Central Community College in solidarity with Occupy Oakland and against the police repression and evictions of occupations across the country. At the beginning of the march, it was announced that a building would be taken over at the end of the march.
The group moved through Capitol Hill chanting “Banks and landlords, we don’t need ‘em/ All we want is total freedom!” before plunging down 12th Avenue to the King County Juvenile Detention Center. The group stopped outside the main cell areas and made noise for the children and teenagers imprisoned inside. Marchers chanted “Our passion for freedom is stronger than their prisons,” and screamed that those on the inside would not be forgotten.
After the noise demo, the group marched into the Central District, one of the most rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods in the country. The term ‘skid row’ was coined here at the beginning of the twentieth century. The Central District was 80% black in 1970. Now it is 15% black, with many new condo developments and apartments having sprung up within the last decade. As the march came closer to the soon-to-be-occupied building, the majority of the drivers passing by yelled and honked their horns in approval.
The group surrounded an abandoned building on 23rd and Alder. A banner reading “OCCUPY EVERYTHING – NO BANKS – NO LANDLORDS (A)” had been draped across the front façade. Someone opened the front door and everyone streamed inside, celebrating the occupation of this new space. People started redecorating with paint and other items while a group outside held an assembly to figure out what to do. At the time of this writing, people are still occupying the building. The current plan is to hold it until Sunday where a public re-furbishing of the building can take place.

Bank of Ideas
Welcome!
The Bank of Ideas is situated on Sun Street, Hackney in an abandoned office block purchased several years ago by the bank UBS. It is an enormous space complete with a 500-seater lecture hall.
It has been opened to the public for the non-monetary trade of ideas to help solve the pressing economic, social and envionmental problems of our time.
There is also room for community groups, youth clubs, nursuries and other public services that have lost their space due to Government spending cuts.
Artists, performers and creatives are welcome to come entertain and to help transform the space. We also encourage games, workshops and skillshares on anything from yoga to yahtzee.
The only prerequisite is that this space is not for financial transactions. Trade in ideas or skills, but no one should need to pay to take part in the Bank’s activities.

An inspiring video from Bologna
Why have we OCCUPIED a bank?
These are the ultimate expression of capitalism, one of the clearest signals that may be taking profits from the suffering of the majority of the population
Every day, in Spain there are approximately 300 evictions, where banks tend to be those responsible for the evictions of families for non-payment of mortgages. In Barcelona there are thousands of people homeless or living in extreme poverty. On the other hand, just in our neighborhood there are 800 empty flats, and as many other sites continues beyond the residents in the neighborhood.
Per què hem ocupat un banc?
Aquests són la màxima expressió del capitalisme, sent una de les senyals més evidents el fet que puguin estar traient beneficis del patiment de la majoria de la població. Cada dia a l’Estat espanyol hi ha aproximadament uns 300 desnonaments, on els bancs acostumen a ser els responsables dels desnonaments de les famílies per impagament de les hipoteques. A Barcelona hi ha milers de persones sense casa o vivint en extrema pobresa. Com a contrapartida, només en el nostre barri hi ha uns 800 pisos buits, i com a tants altres llocs es segueix fent fora els veïns i veïnes del barri.
What are we doing?
Gradually the activities and workshops are being made (kind of guitar, vegan eatery, etc.). Or are being started (salsa classes, Jiu-Jitsu, etc..), Many people have passed to fix the space or bring things that could be used (tables, food, books, etc.).. Come and find out what equipment is needed, what activities are being organised or simply to collaborate with the project in the bank and drop a question.
Què estem fent?
Poc a poc són més les activitats i tallers que s’estan realitzant (classe de guitarra, sopadors, etc.) o que estan en procés de començar (classes de salsa, jiu-jitsu, etc.), com molta és la gent que s’ha passat a arreglar l’espai o a portar coses que poguessin servir (taules, menjar, llibres, etc.). Si vols saber què material fa falta, quines activitats s’estan fent o simplement per col·laborar amb el projecte passa’t pel banc i pregunta.
If there is the eviction of the bank:
Concentration-time in front of the space.
-Demonstration at 20pm the same day in Revolution Square.
We can be found every day from 17h to 22h or 19h every Thursday at the assembly space.

Long abandoned in 2000 the castle returned to build life as a squatted social center, soon evicted and left alone again into oblivion. Today we have liberated it..we have taken back the castle, and now open to create a meeting space, creation, culture, policy debate and dissent against speculation, and capitalism. We open call to come to build with us your passionate projects…
Desde hace un siglo el castillo encima de la montañas de les planes ha permanecido en desuso, abandonado y detoriorandose, pasando de propietario en propietario sin ninguna intencion visible ya que se inicio como sanatorio nunca llego a ser completado. Durante la guerra civil fue utilizado por la resistencia antifascista como hospital, donde tambien estubo internado George Orwell.
For a century the castle above the mountains of Les Planes has been in disuse, abandoned and detoriorating, from one owner to another without any visible intention as it was started as a sanatorium never to become complete. During the Civil Warit was used by the anti-fascist resistance as a hospital, where George Orwell was also interned.
Luego en el 2000 volvió tender vida como centro social okupado y desalojado para solo volver ser dejado en el olvido. Hoy dia lo hemos vuelto a liberar! hemos tomado el castillo, y ahora lo abrimos para crear un espacio de encuentro, de creacion, de cultura, de debate y politica de disidencia contra la especulacion, y el capitalismo. Hacemos un llamamiento abierto para venir a construir junto a nosotros; tus projectos, ven a pasiar, a conocer.

Despite threats of violence from the authorities and anti-activist propaganda from the media, Occupy London has gone from strength to strength.
The leaderless representatives of the 99% celebrated their first week in occupation by taking a second site at Finsbury Square (about 5 minutes walk from the first site).
The second site is still growing, and they need equipment and people. They’ve a special callout for drivers to haul the tat they’ve collected on site.
The resignation of the Canon of St Pauls, Dr Giles Fraser, has grabbed everyone’s attention. In his resignation statement he explained that “I cannot support using violence to ask people to clear off the land.” No wonder this has caught the mainstream media by surprise – this must be the only time that City figure has resigned on principle.
The fake scandals, that the church ‘had’ to close due to health and safety (the deadly presence of tents and stoves), and that the tents were empty at night have both unravelled due to them being total bollocks.
Occupy LSX now boasts its own newspaper, The Occupied Times of London. The first edition came out on Wednesday, with more to follow. Read all about it here: http://occupylsx.org/?p=509 .

Altamira, Brazil – Hundreds of indigenous leaders, fishermen and riverine people from the Xingu River basin have gathered to occupy the Belo Monte Dam 
construction site in a peaceful protest to stop its construction in Altamira, located in the state of Pará in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon. They
- Poor barrio of Altimira to be permanently flooded by Belo Monte
have vowed to permanently occupy the site and are calling on allied organizations and movements to join them.
Work has been stopped while various legal cases are got rid of, with the politicians bought off by the ‘progress’ business and landlord nationalist lobby, while most people oppose the dam , as well as the amnesty for forest crimes and opening up of the Amazon with the new ‘Forest Code’.
Help support the peaceful protest: http://www.causes.com/campaigns/158177
Below: a report on the protest from Amazon Watch; and a declaration from the Xingu Alliance.
The Trans-Amazon Highway (BR-230) has been blocked around the Santo Antônio village, where it passes the proposed construction site. Groups are demanding the presence of a Brazilian government high-level official at the site to initiate a new round of negotiations that are transparent, inclusive and respectful of the rights of local people affected by the dam.
On Apr. 1, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights IACHR recommended that the Brazilian government “immediately suspend the licensing process for the Belo Monte hydroelectric project” and “any material works” to protect the rights of local indigenous people.
This “abrupt change, without precedent in the democratic history of Brazil, indicates a breakdown of dialogue within the multilateral (Organisation of American States) system,” Caldas said at the news briefing.

Occupy! Your guide to the international Occupation Movement
October 13, 2011 (Peoples’ Assemblies) (#OccupyTogether, #OccupyWallSt, #OCCUPYWALLSTREET)
An occupation guide out of Santa Cruz and Baltimore that provides an introduction to consensus decision-making, know your rights info, and contextualizes US 
occupation in the context of recent international uprisings.
The ultra-rich have us by the throats and they’ve had us by the throats for a long, long time.
While the rest of us suffer through a worldwide economic crisis, the people at the top are just getting richer. In a 2011 study, the richest 20% of the country had 85% of the privately held wealth. For the rest of us, nothing’s getting better: the state is closing schools and libraries, rolling back social services, shutting down bus lines and state parks.
But an international movement has sprung up to challenge the foundations of our global system of corporatism and greed. It’s a protest movement qualitatively different from any that has come before, a uniquely 21st century form. It’s a movement without party politics. It’s a movement inspired by the advances of communication that have allowed us to function without authority, allowing every voice to at last be weighed truly as equal. It’s a movement that doesn’t bring a list of demands to the powers that be but instead suggests that we can build a different society.
The wealth that it takes to get us out of this mess is right in front of us—we know because we are the ones who created it. We designed and built the cities. We # y the planes, crunch the numbers, grow the food, write the software, and do everything it takes to keep this society running. All the wealthiest do is sit there and watch their money make more money.
The wealth is right in front of us and yet they tell us there isn’t enough to feed us, to educate us. They’re lying. Maybe they’re lying to themselves, maybe they’re lying to us—it doesn’t matter. They don’t matter. We don’t need them.
We are the 99% and we are more powerful than they’ll ever be.

In my opinion, it is very likely that the historians of the future will look upon tomorrow as the day a truly global anti-capitalist movement was born. Following the example of Occupy Wall Street, Los Angeles, Boston, and hundreds of US towns and cities, a huge number of small and large occupations will begin on every continent except Antarctica (see Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, South America).
All proclaim their opposition to the capitalist status quo – with its obscene riches at one pole and sickening poverty at the other. All of this has been organised online, completely outside the clutches of the decaying trade union bureaucracies, for whom ‘international solidarity’ is just some words they used to say a few decades back. The old organisations of timid protest seek influence on the margins, but they are ignored and seen to be as irrelevant as they actually are. It is highly appropriate that this moment has been crowned by the apparently successful resisting of the attempt by New York’s mayor and second richest man to retake Liberty Park. There is a sense that the powers that be are losing control by the hour, if not the second if you follow it all on Twitter.
If you are can't occupy from tomorrow, you can follow the action on the #occupy Twitter hashtag, your local Indymedia site, and maybe even your local corporate media, if you've got the stomach for it.

nasty looking NY cop spots an Occupier
What happened tonight? Occupy Wall Street camps in (at least) Atlanta, Dallas, St. Louis, Seattle, and Boston were all threatened with eviction and arrest. Police moved in with a show of force in the late hours… but only in Boston did they actually make arrests, and only to shut down camp #2.
So… what the hell? Police forces in five major cities all just happened to decide to make a major alpha-male display on the same night? And all backed down, except for Boston – where the cops took out the smaller, overflow camp.
This is weird. And creepy. And stinks of some kind of national coordination.
As Randi Harper (@freebsdgirl) tweeted:
Both the mayors from Boston and Seattle told us one thing, but the police followed different orders. Where did these orders come from?
Boston police used the lamest excuse in history for why they had to arrest the occupiers: “To protect the new delicate plantings in the park”. Watch this great video, which shows Boston police violently throwing demonstrators through the oh-so-delicate plantings they were protecting from those messy, inconsiderate occupiers:
