Save our Spaces (SA)
@saveourspaces_sa@adlsolarpunk.net  ·  activity timestamp 2 weeks ago
#Adelaide keeps losing the spaces that stitch our movements together - The Joinery, ABK, gig venues, studios. Last month at SAGE, we flipped the script and ASKED: “What if we owned one instead?”

Out of that convo grew The Roundabout Project: a coalition of @saveourspaces_sa, @sage_southaus, @rewind + friends, chasing a radical but totally doable goal – buy (or build) a big ol’ mixed-use hub that belongs to the #community forever. 🏡

Sounds wild? Not really:
🔩 The Castlemaine Co-op have raised $2M from 600 locals to snap up their first building!
🌱 Lutruwita Activist & Mutual Aid Collective (https://www.instagram.com/lama.collective/) is already 1/3 of the way to a $60 k social-centre fund in nipaluna (Hobart).

If they can, we can too! ✊

So we’re hosting an Open Strategy Night - part reunion, part brainstorm, part pot-luck. Whether you weld bikes, crunch numbers, write grants, stir soups or just bring good vibes, come add your puzzle piece.

📆 THIS THURSDAY 7 AUG, 6:30 pm
📍 Rewind Sound & Studios, 7A Barrpowell St Welland
🍲 Bring a plate to share, if you have the beans!

We’ll:
- recap the SAGE double-headline workshop,
- swap feedback + fresh ideas,
- map next steps (working groups, co-budgeting, needs matrix, building hunt),
- show you how to join our working chat!

Bring a mate, your curiosity and a plate to share! All welcome - you don’t need to be a SAGE regular. If you can’t make it, reach out to us here for our working/organising chat and stay in the loop!

Let’s turn “someone should do something” into “look what we built”. See you this Thursday! 💚
