Justice Not Crisis: Squatters
Justice Not Crisis (JNC) is a direct action pressure group, based in Birmingham, which focuses on social housing issues. This audio slideshow takes you inside a squat once occupied by the group at 318 Pershore Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham – and talks to those involved about the problem of homelessness in the U.K.
According to J.N.C. ; “There are 30,000 people on the waiting list for homes, and many people sleeping rough on the streets of Birmingham. We feel that it’s criminal for property owners (who have no right to the land anyway) to leave buildings empty, just so that they can make more profit in the future.”
