>T.A.S.T.E. (Tenants Against State Terror Everywhere) have occupied a
>disused shop-front opposite RMIT on Swanston St between Franklin and
>AíBeckett streets in the middle of Melbourneís CBD. The T.A.S.T.E. Centre
>for Peace will function as an information and resource centre, activist
>space and a focus for the anti-war campaign.

>We are a non-hierarchical autonomous grass-roots community organisation
>and are not aligned with any political parties or institutional bodies.
>
>We have a core collective responsible for co-ordination and a roster of
>volunteers. We have chosen to squat as an exercise in reclaiming public
>space and as a part of our resistance to the forces that fuel the war
>machine.
>
>We believe it is important to have a library and information available
>about the war and other issues in the Melbourne CBD.  We will maintain an
>ongoing working office, establishing links between students, and the
>community, creating office space for workshops and information
>dissemination.  In our desire to create alternative public space for
>workshops and education we have cleaned up and will continue to maintain
>the premises.

>This is a separate project to the tent peace vigil that was established
>outside the State Library and later moved to the Eight Hour Monument.
>Despite the common theme of peace our objectives and practices set us
>apart from the pre-existing peace vigil project.  We have developed a list
>of community guidelines advocating respect and adherence to agreements
>regarding the use of the space.
>
>Our office is alcohol and drug free, violence of any form is not
>tolerated.
