BRUM PUNCH

To defend one eviction may be considered fortunate – but two in one morning is pretty darn impressive, so congrats to Justice Not Crisis (JNC) who repelled simultaneous attempted evictions at squatted social centres in Birmingham on Tuesday (21st). Getting people barricaded on the roofs proved insurmountable to bailiffs and police on the day and the centres – one being the Beechwood Hotel, which houses homeless people as well as the Birmingham People’s Library project, and the other running permaculture training in the previously run-down nature reserve in the grounds – remain open but are still under imminent eviction alert and need support to get mobilised.
