The ram­pART Social Cen­tre was evict­ed at 5:30am this morn­ing by 45 police, bailiffs and a priest.

After over 5 years and many evic­tion scares it has final­ly hap­pened… 3 peo­ple and a dog were inside when police attempt­ed to cha­ni­saw the door. They also had climbers going up to the roof con­jur­ing up mem­o­ries of the raid dur­ing the G20 in April. Police are block­ing the entrance to all three roads lead­ing to the social cen­tre with vans and their bod­ies. They are hand­ing out a piece of paper with a tele­phone num­ber to call to get belong­ings out of the build­ing.
