Dear Friends As many will know, for some time the future of the Autonomous Centre of Edinburgh premises have been under threat. Now we have just learnt that the owners of our premises have found a buyer and want us to leave by the end of June 2022. ACE is the base for many groups and struggles against capitalism, racism, patriarchy and all oppression. For our activity to continue we are in urgent need of your solidarity and involvement What you can do
Subscriptions/donations can be of any amount, paid regularly or one-off amounts and set up via the PayPal Donate button on the home page or get in touch via acemail(@)gmx.co.uk for information about setting up a standing order, BACS transfers etc. The importance of a genuinely autonomous centre has been shown many times in our 25 years at West Montgomery Place, from Reclaim the Streets to resistance to the Iraq war to opposing the G8 in Scotland. Equally important is the day-to-day grass-roots organising. During the pandemic, working through ACE, groups like Mutual Aid Edinburgh, Oficina Precaria and Edinburgh Coalition Against Poverty have distributed thousands of pounds worth of direct food solidarity, fostered mutual aid and informed and supported people to claim their rights. Please also contact us at acemail(@)gmx.co.uk if you would like to get involved with our long-term plan! We want to raise funds, buy a suitable property and set up a large social centre with space for everyone, perhaps even run a cooperative café!! To achieve this, we need support from individuals, and involvement of other radical groups in Edinburgh interested in working with us! Please help us save the Autonomous Centre of Edinburgh (ACE) – contact us at acemail(@)gmx.co.uk Please support ACE by clicking DONATE at https://autonomous.org.uk You can also follow the Autonomous Centre of Edinburgh on Facebook and Twitter
