[Massimo]

latest update - NEED PEOPLE NOW

http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2009/03/424009.html

this morning, (someone acting for) the owner turned up pretending to
be a fire inspector. there had been a minor burned toast incident in
the morning, so the man was let in, accompanied by one other
individual. then, they kicked the Rampart person out. one cop
eventually showed up and sided with the owner, even though the whole
thing was illegal.

30 people are there now, outside the building.
5 private security, 3 cops, possibly the owner are inside and around
the entrance.

WE NEED MORE NUMBERS.

Ramparts has been an amazing community and political activity centre
for a few years. There was an eviction order which ran out after the
owner failed to act for 6 months. nevertheless, today's events
threaten to take Ramparts away once again, and for good. we need
support NOW.
