One of the most impressive initiatives of "activist research" I have seen lately: a survey organised by various tenant and labour unions together, run by 1,800 volunteers in Catalonia, with more than 10,000 responses, 80% yes to a general strike: enscostalavida.org/

🏙️ Centros sociales autogestionados: espacios donde la ciudad deja de ser solo propiedad y se convierte en vida colectiva.
✨ Una mirada crítica al urbanismo neoliberal y al derecho a la ciudad por @rubeniban y @autodesplan

Three wonderful books with brilliant insights about revolutionary thinking, emancipatory change, egalitarian futures and strategies for ecological transformation. We need utopian hope to counter fascism, but also provide sustainable material living conditions for everyone.
Two-days "paper development workshop" in Geneva about housing, illegality, criminality and all the complexities, contradictions and nuances one should expect when dealing with this topic. It's been much better and more intellectually challenging than most conventional conferences
