(en) Britain, London, StopG8 Social Centre Now Open

Posted on June 8, 2013 by stopg82013https://network23.org/stopg8/author/stopg82013/
Come on down and join us to reclaim an empty building in the heart of London?s West End, 
and turn it into a vibrant social centre for talks, films, food, socialising, information 
and action. The address is: ---- 40 Beak Street, Soho, W1F 9RQ. ---- Just off Regent 
street, in between Piccadilly Circus and Oxford Circus tube stations. (It?s also right in 
the centre of the #J11 carnival against capitalism map.) ---- There is room for people to 
stay, but please bring your own sleeping bags and bedding. Also note this is NOT a party 
space (gigs during the week will take place in separate venues), and please respect the 
safer spaces policy which you can read here.

The building is brilliant but, having been neglected and left empty, it needs some work to 
make it into a great space for the week. We are right now hard at work repairing, 
cleaning, and making stuff beautiful. Come along and join in. Also here is a list of stuff 
we need:

Cordless Drill

Furniture (all kinds)

Carpet / tiles

A couple more shout-outs for mobilisations outside the UK.

In Germany, Fight G8 are supporting our week of action in the UK, and also calling for 
decentralised actions in Germany ? and everywhere! ? between the 14 and 18 June. Read all 
about it here (in German and English). http://g8nordirland.blogsport.de/

In Brazil, Autonomia Proletaria have been publicising our events in Portuguese. They are 
organising resistance to the BRIC summit which will take place in Fortaleza, Brazil, in 
March 2014. Economic and political power in the world is shifting away from the old powers 
of US and Europe, and to the rising BRIC powers (Brazil, Russia, India an China) and 
others. As usual, growth benefits the few not the many, and in Brazil the new wealth and 
status also means more land grabbing, inequality, and displacing the poor from the cities. 
Read more about what the BRIC summit, Olympics, World Cup and more mean for most 
Brazilians here.

Here are some links to videos about the World Cup in Brazil (English subtitles):
