1. Press Statement: #WESEEYOU to appear in Court on Friday, 2 October 2020
30 September 2020
We are a group of seven queer activists and artists who have been occupying a mansion in Camps Bay for just under two weeks. #takeupspace#webelonghere#holdyourground2. We are here in protest of many issues, that are layered, complex & nuanced - as are our identities as queer people, and as those who have historically been divided by race and class. we have connected across struggle because we are in solidarity

1. @TriangleOrg and @GenderDynamix put out a joint statement on facebook in solidarity with our occupation. #weseeyou#takeupspace#webelonghere#holdyourground
2 As organisations, we deal with the real consequences of homelessness, formal unemployment and housing insecurity which affects everyone in SA and especially affects people who are queer, trans womxn who are sex workers, and LGBTQI+ people who are from other countries in Africa.

Thank you for all the messages of support. The rental company that manages the mansion we are occupying has threatened to involve the police despite the fact that evictions are currently still illegal. #weseeyou #takeupspace #webelonghere #occupyhome #holdyourground
We must reject this perception of occupiers that invites violence on people simply in need of homes.
