Can Vies, an squatted social center in Barcelona with 17 years of history, was evicted and partially demolished a while ago. This attack from the city government was answered in the streets by 5 days of protests (with demonstrations being held in more than 60 cities from the state), which evolved into the biggest riots seen in the last 20 years.
Thanks to this resistance, which was supported by massive neighborhood solidarity, the demolition of Can Vies was not only stopped but reverted, being possible to rebuild the place after winning over the streets of Sants from the hands of the police and the city council.
Solidarity is needed!

The #ReconstruïmCanVies process was launched on May 31st when more than a thousand people worked on rubble removal in the demolished chapel. That day, the collective boost made everyone dream about recovering what the City Council and the District of Sants-Montjuïc, through TMB (Public Transport Corporation) wanted to take us away. We recovered the street, lost our fear and empowered ourselves to stay there: to rebuild in peace what they violently destroyed.
Why do we want to rebuild Can Vies?
Because we have the opportunity to see Can Vies reborn and return it to what it was and still is: our community heritage. Support and solidarity have made possible the new collective reconstruction project and now we need the help of each and all of you to take it forward
.
To make Can Vies a gathering space for diversity and anti-capitalist struggles speaker again, we want to share the process with you in a transparent manner, explaining clearly where these contributions that will make this collective dream come true will go.
In case you can / wanna donate, there is a PayPal account!
There are only 13 days left and we already achieved 41,500 € from the 70,000 € objective, with more than a 1,000 donators.. but is not enough yet!
Verkami: ¡Can Vies Vive! </br>#RefemCanVies</br>¡Extendamos la autogestión!
Also last week 6 more people were arrested for their suspected participation in the riots of Sants and more detentions will follow in the coming weeks or months.
