http://www.matilda.aktivix.org/ is being evicted today, Wednesday 14th June and a request for people to come down to resist this has been made to the matilda email list.
This is the text of the first email:
Duplicitous suits have turned up in bulk at 8:15am and are now (8:45am) changing the locks, contrary to what was said yesterday. Can anyone who is able and gives a shit please get down here now. To begin with they told us that they were not going to ask us to leave. True to their word, but leaking shit from their smug and condescending faces (Hey - I'm a media luvvie, we can work together, lets do lunch, ciao! etc...) we have now been told that if we do not leave the police will be called to arrest us as trespassers.
We are physically outnumbered and could use some props. Any volunteers...?

And the second:
I believe YF are busy "securing" the building RIGHT NOW
ie 10am 14 June 2006
If anybody wants to pass by and check this out. PLEASE DO!

Eviction will take place on Tuesday 27th June at 9 am , so please let's show support there and then as well as attending final farewell meeting at Matilda premises earlier on Monday 26th June at about 7,30 pm or earlier....
It has been proposed that our stories, poems, photos or viewpoints of these developments concerning Matilda are stuck or posted on to the black external walls and door of the Matilda art gallery (which was built by the moles). Using blue tack and simple non toxic glue, A4 papers.
Long Live Matilda Spirit
