Justice Not Crisis is a direct action pressure group campaigning for more social housing in Birmingham, England.[1]

History

[edit]

Justice Not Crisis was founded in 2008 by Lee Moore and Steve Austin. Their first action was the John Lines Homeless Village, a tent city built on disused land owned by the Birmingham City Council. [2]

The original plan was to occupy the land for 2 days in order to draw attention to the fact that Birmingham city council refused to sell the land to housing associations wishing to build social housing.[3] When they were evicted, the protesters moved down the road to a second site.[4]

Since then they have squatted a number of different buildings and areas, including the Firebird pub in Edgbaston (2008),[5] Beechwood Hotel on Bristol Road (2009)[6] and homes and land owned by Warwickshire County Cricket Club (2009).[7]
