Reclaim the Streets occupy Camden High Street | Actipedia PRACTITIONER: RECLAIM THE STREETS DATE: MAY 14 1995 LOCATION: LONDON ENGLAND A collective resistance movement dedicated to reasserting communal ownership of common spaces, Reclaim the Streets staged its first action on Camden High Street in 1995, when activists closed the road to vehicle traffic to make way for a street party. Combining the tactics of non-violent direct action with 90's UK rave culture, organizers kept the location secret until the last moment to preempt police interception.
