🚨 Lavapiés eviction tomorrow morning, 9 am 🚨

Widowed mother, Eva, and her three children (6, 11 & 20) two of whom are little dragons of @dragoneslavapies are being evicted by the Madrid City Council tomorrow morning from this building on Plaza Nelson Mandela, the only place these kids have ever called home.

This building is one of the last remaining social housing blocks in Lavapiés.

If you can, go, record what's happening on your phone and share it across social media. Show your outrage at yet another eviction during the Covid-19 pandemic (and at evictions at all) and keep up the momentum because protest, online and in-person, works ✊

📍 Calle Meson de Paredes 39, 1A

Over 2,000 people have been hospitalised with ice-related fractures, bins haven't been emptied for a week, post has no delivery date, schools remain shut, large areas of pavements have now been taped off with risk of falling ice, emergency services are struggling to operate, a quarter of trees across Madrid have been damaged, businesses can't restock and open, and the Cañada Real is in its deepest crisis (not that this was factored into the Catastrophe discussion). They knew Filomena was coming for a whole week, right down to the centimetre. And there were zero preparations. This is a catastrophe. My printer said to me today while holding my print of Snowy Cava Baja, "We're living in a beautiful nightmare." I agreed.$
