Callout: Grow Heathrow is under threat of eviction

[Sam .]

Resistance is fertile.

Over the
last three years, more than 2000 people have travelled to our
squatted off-grid community garden. We took direct action to 
squat land blocking Heathrow's third runway because it has now become
necessary to break the law to prevent climate crimes like airport
expansion, fracking and George Osborne's dash for gas. We were
described as “the heart of the village” by the BBC,
“inspirational” by the local MP and “a deterrent for crime”
by local police. The Guardian got a bit carried away when it called
us “squat-topia”. That's a bit over-eager. Calm down; it's just a
land project.

Amid chilling threats of a
third and fourth runway, Grow Heathrow is under threat of eviction,
possibly in summer or autumn 2013. Although we continue to offer to
buy the land, the landowner seems to prefer bailiffs to dialogue.
We’re asking for bold spirits to occupy Grow Heathrow during these
busy summer months. We urgently need help to quickly make a safer
space. 

We have 11 guest beds, 13 sofas, floor space and
enough camping ground for 500 people. When you’re living here,
you'll be skipping, cooking and taking part in our non-hierarchical
decisions, as well as taking part in the reasons we’re here –
growing food, sharing skills freely, and welcoming newcomers to
off-grid living and direct action. Cycle, hitch to J4 M4 or get the
train to West Drayton or Hounslow West and then the 222 bus to
Harmondsworth Lane. transitionheathrow.com/directions
