Sunday 29th March – Free Market & Practial Squatting Workshop

rb — Thu, 26 Mar 2015 17:01:43 +0000

What is a free market?

A free market is a market where you can get clothes, shoes, books, furniture bric a brac, and it is all completely free. Anyone can come and even bring unwanted goods and services to donate, you can recycle all your old things and give them a new home, in the mean time taking away goods for yourself.

We believe in a system that isn`t based on hierarchy, money and oppression, everyone is entitled to food and clothes and shelter. Everyone has things they don`t want anymore, and everyone has things they need, so if we combine the two, maybe we can solve this problem, bring the community together and show that we will not be controlled by selfish corporations who put profit over people.

Come and see what’s on offer this Sunday when we’ll be open with tea, coffee, vegan snacks, and other wonderful things!

The film is a personal account of what one man can do with the help of like-minded people and friends, who still believe in the power of active commitment and refuse to give in to conformism…”

“(it) also tells the story of the birth of independent South Sudan and how its secession from Sudan brought about new wars between strategic interests of the world’s powers and both Sudans.”
