Ridley Village Traders Association Launch

​Join us on Day 225 of Save Ridley Road Community Occupation to celebrate the launch of the Ridley Village Traders Association.

​By establishing the Ridley Village Traders Association Launch we create a mechanism for community ownership and accountability. So traders and future generations don’t have to face the vulnerability of profiteering and cultural displacement.

​Ticket Types:

We have purposefully reached out to community members to ensure they can attend first.

If you have received a link via Social media, we ask for you to share your association so we can prioritise the community. You can hear from us on Monday evening if you have been approved.

​Donations

​It Takes a Village T-Shirts will be on sale at the event, for £25 to support trader's legal fees. Donate to Traders Fees via Open Collective.

​Background: Save Ridley Road

​Since 31st March 2026, a 24/7 community occupation has been fighting for Working Class traders' as they face eviction from an offshore landlord at Ridley Road Shopping Village. This isn’t our first battle since 2018 traders have fought unlawful evictions (Read the appendix timeline for more context). We want the evictions to end, so we can peacefully transition into having the building under community ownership.

​Agenda

​6-9pm: Friends, Family and Supporters Meeting (Invite Only)
