Catalyst Social Centre
Catalyst Social Centre is a radical community space located in Coburg, on unceded Wurundjeri Country. The centre offers free meeting/event spaces for individuals and collectives engaged in leftist organising and solidarity work.
Many different collectives and individuals meet at Catalyst every single day! There is no sole group, collective or individual that owns Catalyst, it is the culmination of all the collectives and community members who utilise the space.
Catalyst remains operational through financial contributions from the
community, and with support and direction from its ‘Federation’. The Federation has a horizontal organising structure, made up of 13 collectives, which assist with the ongoing financial and practical efforts in keeping Catalyst running. The Federation has a shared understanding of its values, rooted in anti-capitalist, decolonial and liberatory struggles.
