If you haven’t heard through the grapevine already Co-Mutineers have taken an old cathedral (of the holy apostles) near the Triangle in the Clifton/Hotwells area. The address is: Bristol Pro Cathedral, Park Place, BS8 1JW
MAP OF CONVERGENCE SPACE for a map.
The phone number in the building for anyone is: 07805756159 (this is also the number for the media to call).
This is a huge building where people who are/want to be involved in Co-Mutiny can come and sleep and eat, meet and discuss, plan and skill-share! Any ideas that you have had for this coming week, bring them and make them happen!
Come find out what’s going on, what activities there are during the week, and to get more people involved in your preparations. Check out the timetable and film nights for details of events, and pop in whenever!
Clean up has been going hard for a few days, but today (Sunday) is CREATE THE SPACE DAY so everyone is invited to come down and get involved with sorting the place out!
Nearest Train Station: Clifton Down Station click HERE for directions from there.
There are buses and it is a short walk from the centre of town, from the foutains, up park street, TURN LEFT AFTER THE NEW WAITROSE!
Entry is by the door on the right hand side of the building, where the gravel and carpark is located.
Just walk on by our local bobbies, they’re just sitting in their vehicles, with their engines on most of the time, not posing a threat.
WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?
People logging onto the site must be curious as to what Comutiny is and who is involved. EVERYONE IS INVOLVED! Everyone is invited to take part during the week in whatever way they/their group feel best!!
WHO?
In Bristol and surrounds, a diverse bunch of enraged creative, dreamers and schemers, builders and gardeners, workers, students and unemployed have been drawn together by the common threads of our indignation at how a combination of corporate greed, social injustice and environmental degradation is leading us all towards climate chaos and financial collapse.
We invite you to converge on Bristol for an uprising of autonomous actions and events from 12th – 20th of September 2009.
ORIGINAL CALL OUT:
Call-out to join the Co-Mutiny Bristol September 12th – 20th, 2009 Social Change not Climate Change
Capitalism and its puppet de‘mock’cracy are spiralling out of control:a self-created recession, rocketing unemployment, soaring national debt, the illegal and unjust occupation of Afghanistan & Iraq, apathy towards massacres in Palestine and Sri Lanka, the criminalisation of free movement, the police assaults and murders of people on the streets, the construction of larger airports and coal-fired power stations in the face of devastating environmental degradation, the privatisation of social housing, the list goes on.
But there is hope. There are anti government protests from Greece to Paris, and China to London, as well as factory and school occupations across the U.K. World wide there are growing, active, and increasingly angry radical & working class movements standing up and resisting climate chaos, oppression, poverty, insecurity and state control.
Hand-in-hand with these protests are grassroots actions to build a new society and take control of our own lives. Ordinary people are finding ways to help each other in the face of the credit crisis created by the banks and corporations. We are re-learning old skills and learning new ones for the transition to a just society; enabling us to create community gardens, establish housing, food and worker’s co-ops, and use new economics in the neighbourhoods where we live
In Bristol and surrounds, a diverse bunch of enraged creative, dreamers and schemers, builders and gardeners, workers, students and unemployed have been drawn together by the common threads of our indignation at how a combination of corporate greed, social injustice and environmental degradation is leading us all towards climate chaos and financial collapse.
We invite you to converge on Bristol for an uprising of autonomous actions and events from 12th – 20th of September 2009.
The themes for those events and days of action are:
* Freedom of movement (surveillance, migration)
* Anti-militarism (Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Palestine, Filton)
* Climate justice (Just transition, financing of climate chaos, coal, airports)
* Financial collapse / community growth (role of banks, creating a new economy)
* Work (Workers’ solidarity, co-operative working, workplace occupations)
* Food (animal rights, sustainable food production, permaculture)
* Autonomous spaces (gentrification, housing, squatting)
The Co-Mutineers will be organising actions and events but we need you to get involved, wherever you are from and whatever your experience.
We encourage autonomous actions. Come on down, join the mutiny, get in touch!
