ASH (Association of Autonomous Squatters)

The Association of Autonomous Squatters (ASH) is a collective of individuals who occupy abandoned or unused properties without legal permission, often aiming to create community spaces or assert their rights to housing. ASH advocates for the recognition of squatting as a valid means of addressing housing shortages and promoting social justice. They emphasize autonomy, self-organization, and resistance against property laws that they see as unjust. By uniting, members of ASH seek to protect their homes and negotiate better living conditions, often engaging in broader discussions about urban space and social equity.
