Müştereklerimiz, "Our Commons" is an Istanbul-based network of grassroot associations, ecologist collectives, neighbourhoods struggling against eviction, architects against gentrification, anticapitalist groups and workers against precarious employment reclaiming their right to common goods like housing, fair employment, rights of migrant workers and public space.
They have been involved in the struggle to save Taksim from the very beginning, together with the Taksim Solidarity Platform, in the past months, and were part of the call to resist the uprooting of trees since the night of the 27th of May. Since then, they kept protecting the park day and night despite police attacks. You can still find them in Gezi.
