On saturday, 21 of march we squatted Piet Heinkade 2 and De Ruyterkade 153-157 on "het Ij" which are part of the recently built bridge on the level of the Muzikgebouw behind Central Station. The owner of the whole complex is the City of Amsterdam, but the 2 squatted places are additional owned by Woningcooperatie Ymere. Until now, monday afternoon, we have not heard any news from either cops or company. In the next few days we will be mainly busy building up the space (it is over 2000 square metres), so any help with either materials, building skills, transportation to getting materials or cooking, would be more than welcome. Please feel free to drop by and give a hand and also check out our program.

The struggle continues...
 
 ... We are fighting for self organized spaces that can be freed of political, cultural and social comformity brought by capitalist complicity (based on representation and compromise)...
 
... But now, more than ever, our desires are being attacked by the authorities... The city is mainly concerned with increased security measures and control.
 
And... We, the ones who don't fit into and fight agaisnt these plans by choice or by circumstances, are the ones being fucked over, evicted and excluded by this policy...
 
... We don't want that freedom and autonomy being granted to us by our enemies, which would mean to compromise on their terms...
 
... We want to create possibilities of genuine face to face interation as a way of opposing the system of isolation and repression that surveills, normalizes, codes and controls us.
 
We want to use squatted  places as a tool in the first practical steps to exist on our own terms and to brew RESISTANCE AGAINST THE CAPITALIST SYSTEM protected by laws, government and cops.
 
These spaces are the points from which some of our contribution to social struggle can develop, sharpen and grow.
 
And where we can begin to live and understand how much this sytem of control over our lives is only repressing the possibilities of liberated social interaction and action, therefore useless to us, and must be attacked, destroyed!
 
FOR SOCIAL STRUGGLE EVERYWHERE AND ALWAYS. FOR OUR LIVES, OUR SPACES... OUR CITIES.
