Occupy Cardiff… The Great Tax Invasion!

We are reclaiming The Old Inland Revenue Offices to use in a creative collaborative non-hierarchal way to show the problems with non-participatory democracy

We need to protest and to do it safely. We need to be indoors so the protest is accessible to all. There are a number of serious incidents that have led us to needing the occupation to be indoors for example, reports of sexual attacks on women in other cities in the UK, far right groups assaulting groups on the streets. We want to help make it possible to protest peacefully.

At Occupy Cardiff 11.11.11 the police were armed with tasers, this was not a healthy safe environment to protest peacefully.

We object to the government neglecting state buildings such as this. We intend to maintain and repair it.

Squandered by the state - Squatted by the people

Occupy Cardiff… The Great Tax Invasion is a drug and alcohol free community space, an open forum, creative think tank, arts space, information point and media hub.
