25 october-Hackney Housing infonight London

Housing is one of the biggest problems that many people are facing at the moment, in Hackney and the rest of the country: council housing under constant attack, less and less affordable decent houses, extortionate rents, home repossessions, evictions...

Whether we are tenants facing increasing rent, mortgage buyers hit by the crisis, homeless in hostels, in squats or on the streets, we're all struggling for decent housing. Everyone deserves a home!?

As a small group in Hackney we are pulling together a public meeting to discuss Housing in Hackney on Tuesday 25th of October. ...to talk, learn, listen, and think about how to struggle together.

We should have speakers/representant from:

- Defend Council Housing
http://www.defendcouncilhousing.org.uk/

- Hackney Housing Group/LCAP
http://hackneyhousinggroup.wordpress.com/

- Corporate Watch on the housing crisis
http://www.corporatewatch.org/

Anti eviction network

Some other organisations that have been invited include Counter Olympics Network (Hackney Affiliate), Advisory Service for Squatters. If you have other suggestions for speakers (we were hoping on someone to speak on home repossessions) or people to invite please let us know. The format should be relatively brief presentations from speakers at the beginning and then time for discussion and fight back. If the attendance is very large we may break into slightly smaller discussion groups with a final report back from each group. In this way more people will be able to speak. If you have any other suggestions or can help with publicity that would be greatly appreciated.
