‘Empowerment’ is a volunteer-run radical community centre dedicated to providing the tools, resources, and space for the grassroots organizing of environmental action and positive social change.

Empowerment is not a proponent of a particular ideology or ‘system’, but does have principles rooted in anti-oppression, anti-authoritarianism, community/coalition-building, DIY culture, and mutual aid.

We at Empowerment are proud to be part of a global network of Infoshops, autonomous spaces, projects & people dreaming and working for a better world, and are committed to helping Londoners become better global citizens through our information and action campaigns, alternative media resources, and fair trade.

Even though Empowerment is fairly new, it has already provided meeting, fundraising, and event space to many local groups such as the War Resisters Support Campaign, the Fanshawe Social Justice Club, AHIMSA, Anti-War Organization of London, the London Project for A Participatory Society, London Indymedia, and Cinema Politica. Other progressive groups can also make use of this space for meetings, film screenings, lectures, workshops, discussion groups, book readings, poetry slams, potlucks, sewing circles, etc.

Coming this year at Empowerment: An urban farm, a recording studio, a jam/art/studio space, a clothing alteration center, a media collective, and a bicycle repair shop.

To check us out, make use of our space, get involved, volunteer, or donate resources to this project call us at 519-601-2547 or just come over!

We’re located at 636 Queens Ave.,
and are currently staffed from 7PM to 10PM Sunday through Thursday.
(we’d stay open longer if you volunteered... hint hint)
