HOW YOU CAN HELP TO PREVENT THE LOSS OF THIS INTERNATIONAL RESOURCE.

Dear Friends,

The 121 Social Centre, located in Brixton, London, UK is under direct and immediate threat of eviction! Squatted for 18 years the centre has asserted a radical presence in London providing services to the community and serving literally 1000s of people in its time. Groups who have been housed or resourced by the centre at different points have included

• Bad Attitude Feminist Magazine,
• Crowbar magazine,
• Earth First!,
• Black Flag,
• Brixton Squatters Aid,
• Brixton Against the JSA Group,
• Dead by Dawn,
• Direct Action Movement,
• Miners Support Groups,
• Anti Criminal Justice Bill Group,
• Brixton Hunt Sabotoeurs,
• Contraflow,
• Anarchist Black Cross,
• Fare Dodgers Alliance,
• Anarquist Queer Group
• and others.

Hundreds of meetings, concerts, benefits and cafe nights have been held on the premises. Currently the center houses a resource space, meeting space, radical bookshop, library, cafe and printing facilities, all of which are used by local and London based squatter, feminist, socialist, autonomist, queer and animal rights groups.

SEND AN E-MAIL TO OUR EVICTORS - MAKE THEM KNOW WE HAVE INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT

Local and International support was instrumental in preventing the centre's eviction during the 1980s. At this time the Lambeth Council was threatened with boycotts and direct action and actions were held internationally at embassies and British businesses. If you have ever visited or been a user of the centre or merely support its aim of providing a grass roots alternative for people in London then now is the time to act. We need to bombard Brixton Councillors and the Brixton Challenge (local gentrification bureaucrats) with e-mails and faxes stating that we oppose the eviction and that we support the centre. We also need you to spread this e-mail around your friends and/or your local networks. Thanks. xx We enclose a sample letter that people can e-mail although please include your own personal comments if you can. People should also indicate that they will impose a tourism and industrial boycott on Brixton and will continue to fax and email them until they relent in their attack on the centre. (Please do not send threatening letters)

Other forms of action are of course also welcome.

Thankyou,
The International Friends of 121.
