This issue of the ACE's collective update is a wee bit more about the centre than it is about all the amazing campaigns currently going on in the Edinburgh area. Why? For one, we've had a long boring but essential look at the Centre's finances, and the cash flow for the rest of the year is ..."challenging" ....shall we say. On average The Centre has lost £78.00. per calendar month this tax year, and, what with rates and insurance bills mounting up, stands to lose over 100 quid a month unless something is done soon As you can well imagine, we're assessing the long term sustainability of the project. At this crucial time we need feedback from all the people who are involved or have contributed to Edinburgh's DIY campaign centre.
Is ACE important to you? Would your life be affected if ACE did NOT exist? If you don't use ACE's space/computers/network.. why? What do you like or dislike about how it operates? How can ACE develop to be valuable to you?
The (very small group of) people regularly using the Centre feel that it IS important enough to keep alive... but.. the potential of ACE can only be fulfilled if the people 'around' it add to the pool of ideas, creativity, and energy. Too many activists operate on the "jump in-overwork-burn out" method and it doesn't have to be this way. Any help, however small, is important. The fight for A better world doesn't need martyrs... together we can all do little things that add up to a movement.
