Our space is open to women and non-binary people and their children.
We reclaimed our space on July 9th and will continue to be here until Hackney Council meet our demands.  This means we'll be holding workshops for everyone to get involved in across the summer.  While we have a variety of workshops and activities planned, you are welcome to visit us even if we have nothing scheduled, from 9am - 9pm.
Our occupation is powered entirely by volunteers. Everyone is welcome to come by and get involved in the occupation. This could be coming to a workshop, meeting Sisters in the space and offering your help, retweeting our social media posts, or simply offering us a few pounds as a donation. We understand that there are so many ways to make a difference and appreciate all of them.
Â
Sisters Uncut's space relies on donations from allies and supporters. What we need can change from day to day, based on what classes and workshops we are running, and the needs of everyone who uses the space.
Don't worry if you can't donate, what we need most of all is your love, solidarity, and support.Â
There is a proud history of Labour councils refusing to do the Conservative government's bidding. From Leeds reclassifying its own homes to ensure tenants weren't hit by bedroom tax, to Poplar's councillors refusing to collect unjust rates and going to prison for it. The Housing Act will force Labour councils to take sides: either with the elite Conservative government or with their own working class tenants.
The space is partially accessible with support.
Â
We have the use of a wheelchair ramp to the landing of the flat and then into the flat itself.Â
The main door frame is 30" wide and the inside door to the living room is 31" wide. Most wheelchairs are up to 27" wide.Â
Â
We are very sorry that the toilets in the occupation are upstairs and not accessible. The nearest wheelchair accessible toilets are at Homerton Library and Tesco Morning Lane, which is open 24 hours from Monday to Saturday night.Â
 We welcome all women (trans, intersex and cis), all those who experience oppression as women (including non-binary and gender non-conforming people) and all those who identify as women for the purpose of political organising.
Self-definition is at the sole-discretion of that person.
Younger children of any gender should be accompanied by an adult.
We recognise that people experience different kinds of oppression, often at the same time.
We will not tolerate sexism, racism, transphobia, ableism, classism and homophobia or other forms of oppression.
People should feel able to let us know about any behaviour which is oppressive or makes them feel uncomfortable. Speak to a Sister in a sash, or call/text 07935808078Â
If you have behaved oppressively towards another person please listen carefully to what they are saying. Your reaction can be a huge step towards healing and remedying what you have done to hurt someone.
