Hackney Solidarity Network

As capitalism collapses around us in the market of ideas the anarchist pound is bouyant and the 27th Anarchist Bookfair is back at Queen Mary College in London’s East End. A big thank you to everyone who helped make last year’s bookfair run smoothly and to you all for respecting the space. This year we have 38 meetings, 90 stalls, an all day cabaret starring assorted ranters, poets, singers and comics; all day film showings and, two kids spaces.

In 1945, after risking their lives for king and country, Jewish ex-servicemen and women had every right to believe they had buried fascism forever.

Play by Norma Cohen using as background the occupation of Francesca's Cafe in Broadway Market, 2005/06.

"Francesco‘s Caff is under threat from a property speculator.
Flexing their own writing skills, five members of a local creative writing group gather to protect Hackney’s unofficial community college from the bailiffs. Based on a real incident, The Unbroken Line celebrates creativity, food and the power of a group in extremis."

Hackney Solidarity Network has called an 'emergency' meeting for all Hackney activists, non aligned, community, socialist, trade union, green or whatever, to discuss what we in Hackney need to do, or need to change what we are doing, in response to the recent developments in capitalism including declining share values, increased state debt, house price reductions, increased mortgage rates, price increases of food and fuel and so on.
