News from the Saorsa Social Centre
Hi
Just an update from the G42 Collective and reminders
about what is happening this week.
This morning the Brand Street Immigration Centre near Ibrox was shut down
for six hours from 5am to 11am by a group of about 20 protestors including
folk and friends from Saorsa.
Three people were detained under suspicion at the end of the action as
folk started to disperse. The three have been charged and are being held
overnight to be taken to the Sheriff Court tomorrow morning. It appeared
that their arrests were partially due to political pressure coming
directly from the Home Office.
A call out for people to come to court tomorrow morning (Tuesday) from
10am to show solidarity with the three arrested has gone out - please make
it if you can to show we will not be intimidated.
Tomorrow night (Tuesday) we will be making banners and preparing things
for the Buy Nothing Day events on Friday and Saturday.
Wednesday evening the new Camcorder Guerilla film "WELCOME TO DUNGAVEL" is
being shown in the Saorsa Social Centre followed by a discussion with
contributions by Mike from the newly formed Glasgow No Borders network and
by a member of the Scottish Detainee Visitors group who regularly visit
detainees at Dungavel.
On Thursday evening there is the weekly meeting of the G42 Collective when
issues to do with the Saorsa centre are sorted out. And there will be a
'collision' of CLOWNS from the Clown Army at Landsdowne Church on Great
Western Road from 5.50pm to sort out clowning tactics for Buy Nothing Day.
On Friday the CRITICAL MASS starts at 5.30 from George Square which will
be followed by food and films about Critical Masses in other cities from
7.30pm.
Saturday is BUY NOTHING DAY starting at 11am with a swop shop and info
stall in St Enoch's Square. From 1pm there will be fun and games with the
odd bit of clowining in a shopping centre or two to creatively reclaim
public space from the clutches of corporate consumerism...Meet at the
info-stall / swap shop to join in...
Then on Sunday there'll be the regular Sunday Social at Saorsa - our
weekly get-together to chat, share food, watch films or listen to music,
bring food, wine or beer to share... To help cook come at 5pm - food is
usually ready by 7.30pm.
