Sick of the Con Dem’s regime of cuts and austerity?
Tired of watching helpless while the government destroys people’s lives and create a world we don’t want to live in?
Then join us on International Women’s Day to take direct action to stop the cuts.
We are an independent coalition of feminist and anti-cuts activists who think it’s time to take matters into our own hands. We are particularly concerned about the gendered impact of the cuts which will jeopardise safe and free access to abortion, force single mothers back to work when their children are still young, close down rape crisis centres and women’s refuges as well as many more services for women and LGBT people.
This action is open to people of all genders and none.

I'm not there so there isn't much more I can add. If you can't or don't want to pop down to offer support you could circulate the information online and keep an ear out in case they need more support later.

People were able to come and go freely earlier, but we're now surrounded by shitloads of security. No signs of an eviction at present, not sure if/when bailiffs might appear. In the meantime, it's all good spirits!

That new law applies to squatting and residential buildings only, of which this is neither.

Bailiffs and police gone in, turfing us out! Some of the group still attempting to resist the eviction.
