Squatting against austerity: Occupy Pisa grows and evolves

[grandpa]

"Squatting is on the rise again in these times of austerity (see for example the recent occupations of flats in Southern Spain, mostly carried out by housewives and families). An Italian project that’s caught my attention since its beginning is in Pisa, where last year’s Occupy protests evolved into the reappropriation and transformation of abandoned buildings for the benefit of the local community."

I don't think this merely benefits the "local community," but the global community, and the human family. It's time to take the power back, as Zack De La Rocha put it.

I am with any group who puts unoccupied buildings to the use of housing homeless people.
