‘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)
