We unionise all architectural workers in these beliefs:
- We fight against the architecture that capitalises on crisis
- We know that housing can be truly affordable
- We oppose the eradication of bodies, memories, and landscapes
- We believe in an equal right to housing
- We will not be exploited to push out the exploited
- We take responsibility for our actions
- We acknowledge that our lives have been built on the destruction of others
- We will not disguise destructive development with a friendly facade
- We do not see beauty in death
- We will destroy the image
- We will expose the corruption
- We refuse to be complacent or complicit
- We speak alongside the people whose voices are systematically silenced
- We will not weed our streets to sow the seeds of regeneration
- We are against the architecture of control
- We do not accept that demolition is necessary or inevitable
- We believe in building social and economic networks before physical structures
- Architecture is inherently a practice of change. We have the power to choose how.
