Neighbourhood centre Joe's Garage is five years old and that's a reason to
celebrate. The free shop, squatting advice hour and the neighbourhood
kitchen are well-known, but above all Joe's is a place where people from
the neighbourhood can come together to share their thoughts about life,
politics, whatever, or simply for the fun of it. It's run by volunteers on
a not-for-profit (and often free) basis. And this is all done in your and
our limited free time!
Joe's Garage has thus far always been situated in a squat. We think that
real-estate speculators should keep their fingers off other people's
neighbourhoods. Too many people have already become rich climbing over our
backs in this way. And that's the reason why we take over empty buildings:
to make them a functioning part of the neighbourhood again. And yes, this
is an open invitation: we are always looking for more people to get
involved!
We are going to continue after the introduction of the squatting ban!
The people behind Joe's Garage are simply going to continue with their
activities, even when the squatting ban officially comes into force
on 1st October. This law was conjured up by a number of politicians that
have themselves been linked to the shadowy side of the real-estate sector.
Various neighbourhoods in the East of Amsterdam are under threat of being
ruined by speculation and the privatisation obsession of the housing
corporations and the municipality. The promised 'mixing' of the
neighbourhood has failed to materialise, the only thing that happens is
that the neighbourhood slowly but surely becomes too expensive for
everyone. We don't have to accept that politicians in their ivory towers
continue to damage our neighbourhoods in this way.
It's time for solidarity between house owners, renters, people searching
for a house and indeed everyone that in some way or other manages to live
and to work in this city. These times required a structured, integral
solution and not a minority cabinet. That cabinet can expect some stiff
resistance from us.
Curious?
Come on Saturday 2nd October 2010 to the Onkruid Fesitval!
With music, theatre, poetry and much more in various different squats
in the East of Amsterdam. We want to show -- on the very thresshold of the
squatting ban -- that creativity flourishes in freedom.
