Anti-Eviction Front - How to Continue Living Here?

The Anti-Eviction project was presented to the BIP/ZIP with two objectives: on the one hand, the establishment of a technical office for legal support that would respond to specific situations of eviction that could be challenged in court (we set out to monitor 5 cases), and on the other hand, "the development of initiatives that promote a greater connection for all those who live in the territory, in its diversity, enabling the community to make collective decisions concerning the built, and/or by programming collective discussion initiatives that promote access to information.”

This idea was based on the realization that Lisbon is experiencing a violent process of social recomposition; the result of the so-called Rendas Law, which affects all tenants - whether residential or commercial - and it is urgent to find answers that could counteract this reality. The aim was to find ways of building resistance processes and "promoting neighbourhood networks, generating a self-organized community movement, enabling it to make decisions about living in the territory",

Situated in the area of the city called Anjos, and due to its complexity and different social composition, we chose to divide the territory into two distinct zones (while still maintaining the coherence of the project), which we named Anjos de Cima and Anjos de Baixo, being the division made from Rua Maria Andrade.
