No Riot Evictions

In the months since the Nottingham riots, anarchists have been trying to kickstart a campaign against the victimisation of whole communities that has been called for by the state. The courts, with encouragement of the government, have been handing out much harsher sentences than usual, and Nottingham City Council leader Jon Collins has called for the families of rioters to be evicted from social housing. We have leafletted some of the areas where the people arrested during the riots live offering solidarity and practical support.

Anti-fascist prisoner support in Nottingham

Thu, 01 Sep 2011 21:52:37 +0000

Nottingham Anarchist Black Cross have organised a series of events to support anarchist and class struggle prisoners, with particular focus given to the anti-fascist prisoner support UK campaign. A gig on Thursday was headlined by Belgian band Cop on Fire with Half Boy/Half Rat supporting and a second gig on Tuesday featured the ReSistas, Hectic Egg and El Dia. The anti-fascist prisoners support campaign is supporting antifascists jailed after an altercation with fascists at Welling railway station in 2009. More than two years later 7 were convicted of conspiracy to commit violent disorder in May this year and 6 have been sentenced to between 15 and 21 months in prison. None of the fascists were arrested. A second trial will take place next month.

Notts ABC put on another great fundraiser last night. A night of radical feminist DIY music, spoken word and zines featured the ReSistas from Vienna as well as locals Hectic Egg and El Dia. There was a great turnout and atmosphere and some really amazing performances and all proceeds will go towards prisoner support.

The Nottingham antifascist benefit gig last night was a great success. The Sumac experienced a very busy Thursday night indeed as Belgian dub punksters Cop on Fire and Bristolians Half Boy/Half Rat dished out some heavy vibrations. The gig raised over £100 for UK antifascist prisoners.
