Today's #MunicipalistMonday 🧵celebrates resistance against social cleansing & gentrification.

🏠🏘️🏩🌇🌆

The focal point is Aylesbury Estate: a housing estate that was home to thousands of residents in Southwark, south London.

#Fight4Aylesbury ImageImage Recently, resident Aysen Dennis opened the doors of her 8th floor home on Aylesbury Estate. The whole housing estate faces demolition and is mainly empty. Her flat became a centrepiece of community resistance, hosting an exhibition of the struggle. ImageImageImage

Today's #MuncipalistMonday profiles Catalonia's @cupnacional, aka La CUP. This is an anti-capitalist assembly based movement with municipalism at its core.

Good luck to CUP candidates running in 28 May municipal elections across Catalonia!

#EleccionsMunicipals #28M Image Beyond Catalonia, CUP is most well-known as the anti-capitalist party demanding Catalonia ruptures from Spain, frequently holding the balance of power in the Catalan parliament. However, CUP's municipalist core is less discussed abroad.

Today's #MunicipalistMonday highlights community owned energy in Scotland's north/west isles. Renewables are powering communities through democratic & collective ownership, with some parallels to remunicipalisation elsewhere. This is also an example of redistributing land & revitalising rural communities: Scotland has very concentrated land ownership due to a history of enclosure & clearance. Few absentee landlord families own most of Scotland.
