Bath Activist Network is now a defunct organisation, but had a healthy and riotous existence, and regrets almost nothing. Until the end of days, check out Bath People's Assembly, Bath Anti-Cuts Alliance, Black and Red Federation, Bath Animal Action and Bath Anarchist Revolutionary Forces! "But it was worse when we turned to the kids on the left, and got let down again by some poor excuse for protest by idiot fucking hippies in 50 different factions, who are locked inside some kind of 60's battle re-enactment. And I hung-up my banner in disgust and I head for the door"

Cuts Stuff

Two public meetings will be showing their faces soon in the city:

On Friday the 4th of November, about possible changes to the NHS, at Friends Meeting House at York Street in Bath, at 7.30pm.

And then on Tuesday the 8th November, Bath Anti-Cuts Alliance will be holding a public meeting at 7.30pm - also at the Friends Meeting House - about the governments cuts plans and how to get involved in the fight against them.

See you on the seats!

Calling All Squatters!

Got any positive, funny or random stories from your squatting experiences?

We're putting together an exhibition and zine with positive squatting
stories to contradict and show the other side to squatting, to the one
regurgitated again and again by the mainstream media.

Wherever you squatted, be it Brixton or Kurdistan, or whether you squat
now or you did in the 70s, any positive stories are welcomed -- the more
varied in time & place the better. Some of the stories we have so far
include from after the second world war when families took refuge by
squatting abandoned army barracks, as so many homes had be bombed in the
blitz, as well as some stories of how newly arrived Asian families to
Britain gave up the council housing they had received to squat together in
empty estates to avoid the racial abuse they were suffering.

Your stories don't have to be this extreme though, anything that is
positive, funny or in some way a success of managing to stick it up to the
landlords or a successful use of squatting for a protest or campaign, is
very much welcomed. The stories don't have to be your own experiences but
can be ones of friends, or ones you've heard, just so long as they are
true.

Any good pictures you might have that can accompany the stories would be
brilliant too. Also, if you have pictures of transformations you've made
turning a destroyed building into a beautiful home, they would also be
really appreciated. Of course you can be completely anonymous from
anything you contribute.

Many thanks!
