Freedom needs your help! Or at least the Freedom Building in Whitechapel does.One of East London’s last radical bastions, since we moved into 84b in 1968 the Freedom building has weathered firebombs, arrests, police infiltration, stalkers, threats of all kinds and more movement shenanigans than you can shake a very large stick at. And now we’re facing a major rebuilding project, costing up to £50,000, including vital works to fix the roof, walls and even stairs.A survey carried out last year highlighted that emergency repairs are needed to the roof and walls that will total around £13,000. Our aim is to raise this amount by August 2017 so that the building works can take place in the Summer. As of February 2017 we have raised £5,000 to get us started.But the fun doesn't stop there - over the coming three years we will need a lot more money to treat dampness in the walls, insulate the building, install a boiler and look into making the whole place more accessible. In the long term costs could be between £40-50,000 to bring the building back to its best, including things like fixing up the lovely (but old-style) sash windows.The building is an important resource providing space for; an anarchist bookshop that is open 7 days of the week; Freedom news and publishing group that has been producing anarchist propaganda since 1886; office space for Haven Distribution IWW UK , the National Bargee Travellers Association - London branch and the Advisory Service for Squatters Decentre , a social room for meetings, events and organising; and for supporting groups such as London ABC Legal Defence and Monitoring and the Green and Black Cross who regularly use the building.Help us bring 84 back to its best so we can continue to work as a vital hub for the anarchist movement!All of the rewards on offer are for collection from Freedom Bookshop in Whitechapel.
