The very essence of the squatting movement is a struggle for tolerance, freedom, equality, peace, human and animal rights, environment.

It is not only a squatters manifestation, but also anti-racist, anti-capitalists, human rights, against repression and wars, ecologic, animal rights, supporting oppressed nations, refugees and political prisoners.Diversity is the power of a society, a power of our movement.



Solidarity is our strength !

So many of us, squatters are supporting so many organisations, actions, demonstrations etc.
So many organisations, NGO's, activities begone in squatted places
So many are still there.
So many cultural centres, social houses thankfully squatting movement was toked away from "free" market.
So many festivals, events, traditions etc. have their roots, their moments in squatting movement.
So many i would like to see showing/ presenting themselves (on the stands, performances, shows, movies etc. ) and their connections and solidarity with the our movement in those critical situation.
This is great opportunity for You to show to wider audience what are You busy with and to find volunteers along the squatters. Together We are stronger. Together we are power !
We hope with You to show to the whole society that squatting its not only struggle for affordable houses for all of us, but something more. Much more. That's fight for tolerance, freedom, equality, peace, human and animal rights, for clean environment and future of our children... etc. That's struggle for better world for all of us and not only for elites.

@ mgriks
Echt je moet eens wakker worden en om je heen kijken.
We leven in 2010 en niet in 1980 zoveel mensen zijn er niet meer en dit
constant overschatten van het aantal mensen in de beweging is gewoon droevig
en zegt mij dat je meer naar je navel staart dan goed voor je is.
begrijp me niet verkeert ik ben voor een breed gedragen beweging met grote aantallen
mensen om ons ideaal veder te brengen.
Maar dat begint met realisme en teruggaan waar het nu eigelijk over ging in de kraakbeweging.
En dat is betaalbare en fatsoenlijke woonruimte voor iedereen en niet het behoud van de culturele en sociale samenhang van de kraakbeweging en "bedrijfsruimtes" voor een subcultuur.
Dit is ook pressies wat de ondergang is geworden van de kraakbeweging en waarom de steun van het "gewone volk" is verdwenen.
Ik ben voor een anderen maatschappij maar dan wel met de mensen in deze maatschappij en niet tegen of apart van de mensen in deze maatschappij.
Misschien is het tijd eens wat meer aandacht te schenken aan de mensen in deze maatschappij ipv alleen te vechten voor het behoud van je subcultuurtje dat dualistisch genoeg gebaseerd is op het vechten voor sociale gerechtigheid voor mens dier en milieu.
Want uiteindelijk is het vechten voor deze mensen de enigste reden dat je deze subcultuur
werkelijk kunt verantwoorden en je werkelijk wat veder kunt komen met onze gedeelde idealen.
Een goede eerste vraag om te stellen is volgens mij hoeveel dakloze en dakloze jongeren er komen slapen op de dam hoeveel woningzoekende niet krakende mensen er komen.
hoeveel hulpverleners die elke dag te maken hebben met het tekort aan woningen komen er?
Hoeveel mensen komen er die in slechte woningen wonen of die uitgebuit worden door hun huurbaas?
Om het nogmaals te herhalen het einde van de kraakbeweging in zicht is zou de laatste strijd moeten gaan over het falende woning beleid in Nederland ipv het gedogen door de Nederlandse staat van een toch al rotte subcultuur die upperground underground wil zijn ...........

@nn and everyone,
its always better late than never, and even if for the sleeping action its a bit/way too late to let organizations know, there's some more time for the 1st october and beyond. you can call up and inform on other organizations to let them know about the situation and to help in what they can, they can still make it to the demo, otherwise if they so desire, they can also spread the message and generally help for stopping current madness since together we are stronger... alone we're hopeless against the system's juggernaut. who will you call up when they come kicking on your door?

@mx
you are right, we're no longer in the 80's, and that's why now we face prosecution for fighting for some rights and for our life in a way that has many beneficial effects for everybody... even if they don't want to acknowledge, while most people is happy to get a cheap housing by paying the other part with their rights. That's why we stay in shock as we lose social rights every day, but that's not reason to wake up since its never too late even if they will imprint that thought in our minds in a million ways. its now 2010, and what where before grey areas are becoming black... the distopias of the past are now our present (check out or re-read 1984, momo, brave new world).

the nihilistic approach to the present doesn't lead anywhere, and you're obviously welcome to develop your ideas and let them know in a more constructive way.

the problem we face as squatters is that squatting is not a movement in itself, or even a subculture, squatting is a cross of roads, with people with different motivations and ideologies, and squatting is a tool to get us together. without this cross of roads we will be a little bit more isolated in a time where solidarity and hope is the only thing left in the face of the capitalist terror.

and finally, dont put it on mgrix or any single individuals... is just another human trying to do as much as possible, trying to get others like you and me to also move around. nothing was ever lost because of great and motivated people... and is also explicitly asking for more views on the subject.

anyways... thanks for the feedback and see you in the streets
