Saturday, 30th May was Independence Day in Haringey, north London, as the neighbourhood declared independence from "party politics, religion and government agencies, where individuals and groups in Haringey can organise collectively, exchange ideas and make their own decisions that affect their lives." 

The event combined workshops, film screenings, bike repairs, music, a history walk, and refreshments into a community-organized day of learning, discussion, and strategy. Dozens of community organizations took part.
