Message-ID: <SNT107-W4326E6D883B4CC655FF3EEB13B0@phx.gbl>



Promote Eritrean sent a message to the members of WORLDWIDE DEMONSTRATION AGAINST UNJUST TO ERITREA.

--------------------
Subject: A Blessing in Disguise: February 22nd World Wide Demonstration

?life is not measured by how many breath you take, but by the moments that
take your breath away?

Sometimes tears are the words the heart can't express. As I stood on the
stage overlooking the crowd I couldn?t help but notices the tears falling
down from my eyes. There aren?t enough words in the dictionary that could
describe the view I witnessed that day. The sound of mothers singing
?wesede, Ere be?al se?re? brought me back to 1991, when we first got our
independence. The sight of children marching chanting ?Hade, Libi Hade
Hezbi? overwhelmed me with emotions I can?t explain. Dawit?s Speech (an 8
year old from New York City) gave me a warm feeling of comfort, assuring me
that everything is going to be ok. Made me take a second to thank god for
blessing me with the opportunity to experience this day.

Prior to attending the demonstration someone said to me ?Don?t you worry,
you will soon realize that this sanction is a blessing in disguise.? I
never really fully understood what that statement meant until the Morning of
February 22nd . it is then that It dawned on me, the sight of close to 10,00
people standing in front of the white house, proudly elevating our beautiful
flag was indeed a blessing in disguise. The idea of people driving from
Chicago, Atlanta, Canada, New York, Miami, Jacksonville, Charlotte, Boston,
Texas, Baltimore; Eritreans in Geneva, Australia, Sudan & San Francisco,
coordinating a worldwide demonstration for one cause, their country, was
indeed a blessing in disguise.

February 22nd was the testament to the passing of time; it illuminated
reality, vitalized memory, provided guidance for our future path, and
brought us back what we?ve long been missing, UNITY. Only those who truly
experienced the making of history can sustain this day as just more than a
dream. As God?s creatures we often dwell on our own enchantment, we often
give in to the testing of others. For so long, division based on differences
of political ideology has served as stones and obstacles disabling us to
move forward and advance. Nevertheless our love and passion for our country
has changed those stones into flowers of discovery.

February 22nd marked a new historical chapter for Eritrea. it showed the
world that regardless of the circumstance, we the people of Eritrea will
overcome all odds. Regardless if the world is against us, our triumph will
always be exemplary. If the world didn?t know it then I?m sure they now it
now. Eritreans enrich the dreams of unity, and it?s through unity that we?ve
been able to create history. Eritrean people are unknowing transformers of
things, protected by their harmony and love for their country.

There?s no greater blessing then knowing that all your hard work and
efforts has made a differences in the world. As a member of YPFDJ I?m proud
to say that as an organization we rose to leadership, by sheer force of
self-confidence, bravery and tenacity, we were able to host a safe &
peaceful demonstration that revealed the amazing resilience of Eritrean
people. We are forever mindful of the legacy of our grandfathers, the
founder of our kingdom, who perceived their life as a link in a continuous
chain of those who served our nation, and we hope to be a new and strong
link in the same chain. This is only the beginning, we will continue on to
succeed and persevere in defending our country and our people. We are
grateful for everyone?s support and words of encouragement. We hope to
continue this legacy of service both at home and abroad.

*If I could tell all Eritreans out there just one thing it would be that we
are all okay, QESANU, for the youth are here ready to shield you from
harm?s way.*

	weekend
Message-ID: <4cfa062b0bb054da78d9e005f28f1142.squirrel@swift.riseup.net>

feminist events happening in london this weekend.

Million Women Rise - Saturday 6th of march from 12 - march and rally. 3rd
national women only march to celebrate International Women's Day and
demonstrate against violence against women.
>From the million women rise website at  http://www.millionwomenrise.com.

"Million Women Rise is a coalition of individual women and representatives
from the Women?s Voluntary and Community Sector who have come together to
organise an annual national demonstration against male violence which
coincides with International Women?s Day in March each year.

On the demonstration, we celebrate and honour women?s activism, courage
and achievements and continued struggle against global male violence in
all its forms. Million Women Rise is an expression of women?s continued
resistance and struggle against global male violence. The first
demonstration in 2008 saw 5000 women and children take to the streets of
London. It was the largest, recent demonstration of women in UK history
and the most diverse demonstration many of us had ever attended."

London anarcha feminist kolektiv will be on the march. if you would like
to march with us we will be meeting at the meeting point (park lane,
oppopsite speakers corner) from 12. We will converge near the back, look
for the black and pink banner).
Please note this a women only event, although the rally at trafalgar
square is all-genders.

successful and loved Albany Midwifery Practice in south London.

(although it's probably too short notice and too expensive for women to
go, I just thought this would be of interesting to some on the list - nimda)

Iberia - Anarchist Communist Event
Saturday March 06 2010
Start Time: 11:00 AM

Barcelona: Anarcho-Feminist Conference

This year - 2010 - the CNT celebrates 100 years since it was founded, in
a context very different from today's. For this reason, we want to
analyze and reflect on the path that this class-struggle union has
followed throughout its history and examine its role today. There is no
doubt that the people who have been members of the CNT have mostly been
women and men with a capacity for critical thought, sometimes well ahead
of their time, and there have been times when the CNT has played a vital
role, as in the social revolution of 1936. Today we ask ourselves how it
sees itself as a union that fights against every form of authority, and
especially against something as important as patriarchy which, along
with capitalism, inhibits the freedom of many living beings and is
destroying the planet.

So, this Feminist Conference arise from the need of various female
members of the CNT to visualize the vital role that women play in the
anarchist movement, to reflect on the connection between anarchism and
feminism, to challenge traditional gender roles, female and male, on
which patriarchy are based.

The Conference on Women and Anarchism will be an opportunity to get
closer to the realities of female militancy. We intend to analyze,
discuss and highlight the participation and organization of women who
identify with libertarian principles without giving up their gender
identity. We want to see the problems that affect us as women in the
various areas where we operate: labour, educational, organizational,
health, emotional, etc., and the problems arising from a patriarchal and
capitalist society such as ours that affects us and our comrades, male
and female alike.

To this end, we will try to deal with the subject on two levels: one
level is our own situation as female workers and union activists in a
class-struggle, revolutionary and libertarian union, covering the
historical perspective and the needs that we see today. The second level
is feminist women's participation in the various organizations that seek
to contribute to social change. We are interested in highlighting these
daily struggles, the projects that result from them, the difficulties
that exist and the contradictions that we encounter. We also wish to
work on these aspects by collecting multiple experiences from the past
and others that are in progress today all over the world.

To try to cover these objectives, we have organized five topics:
1. Women, work and the union
2. A historical reference: the Mujeres Libres
3. Anarcho-feminism: organized women
4. Women in the press and propaganda of The Idea
5. Sexual diversity and anarchism.

Everyone is invited to participate in these reflections on our/your part
so that we can try to get closer to achieving our/your utopian society.

Let our thoughts become action.

And why these idiots are coming, to support this guy who is quite a serious
threat in NL, in case anyone missed:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article7047443.ece

>From EDL march info (see below) we have the immortal line

"please refrain from using the 'Allah, Allah, who the f*** is Allah?' song,
same goes for the 'Allah is a pedo' song, these are not the kind of songs
the EDL leadership feels are appropriate for our demonstration purposes.
Also, please be respectful to any members of the press. While we all know
certain sections of the media have been atrocious in their reporting of us,
sticking fingers up at them will not alleviate that situation.."

Which if this wasn't such a shite state of affairs would be, in a
pythonesque kind of way, almost funny.

Great blog on IFE, WAG Eric btw, cheers for that

>From EDL:
> London March 5th
>
> Friends of EDL, on Friday March 5th we will be demonstrating in central
London in the home of democracy, to protect democracy. Geert Wilders has
been harassed, threatened, litigated against and terrorised because of his
views. Whether you agree or not, his voice should be heard as a legally
elected representative of his country.
>
> When we go to London, there will be for the first time a properly
organised stewarding system. It must be remembered by all that these
stewards are 100% loyal EDL supporters, they are there because their
presence is to the benefit of EDL. Just their presence makes things much
easier for us to get a fair hearing in our demonstrations, and for the first
time, an agreed march.
>
> Now this email is not about the details of the actual march itself, more
of what you can expect from it. Those kind of details will be sent out
through the divisional and regional organisers.
>
> As the march is progressing, the police may stop the line from time to
time (indeed we should expect this to happen quite often). This is not an
attempt to halt the march. It is more so that the rear end can catch up, or
to clear an obstruction ahead, so please do be patient during these times.
It is normal, and to be expected. The march itself will take much longer
than it would take to walk the distance, this is exactly what we want as our
'exposure' along the route is greater.
>
> The stewards will be colour coded, team leaders will have orange hi-vis
vests, and first aiders will have green vests. Ordinary stewards will wear
yellow. Anyone volunteering for any of these roles please see your
organisers and they will put you in touch with the right people. We do have
enough vests though please feel free to bring any you wish to donate, as
more stewards can then be called upon to help (ie you) if needed.
>
> If you are asked by a steward to leave the demo, please do so without
fuss. Any complaints can be handled later, though it is very unlikely a
steward will ask someone to leave for nothing. Racism and violence will not
be tolerated. Please back up our stewards at every opportunity.
>
> Also, please refrain from using the 'Allah, Allah, who the f*** is Allah?'
song, same goes for the 'Allah is a pedo' song, these are not the kind of
songs the EDL leadership feels are appropriate for our demonstration
purposes. Also, please be respectful to any members of the press. While we
all know certain sections of the media have been atrocious in their
reporting of us, sticking fingers up at them will not alleviate that
situation, only inflame it. We only ask the press for a fair hearing.
>
> The demonstration area is the heart of our great land, anyone attempting
to destroy any property of this area can expect the wrath of those around
him, as well as ejection from the demonstration. Parliament might have what
we consider the wrong kind of people in it right now, but the walls
themselves are sacred to us.
>
> One final note with regard to toilet facilities. The demonstration
location is a tourist spot and thus an area of our nations beauty, so there
will be no 'portaloos' available. However there are public toilets available
nearby and people will be allowed to leave the demonstration in small groups
to use those facilities. However it is preferable and easier if you 'go'
before we start the march. Excessive drinking before the demonstration is to
be avoided, remember this is a serious issue we face, our protests actually
mean something, so it should always be borne in mind that we are embarking
on a protest, not on a day trip beano.

Hello

A while ago I did some research regarding feminsim and body image. Some of
the people I interviewed were from LAFK.

The paper is now ready for publication. I would like to give everybody who
participated in it (and also people who didn't if they are interested now) a
chance to comment on the findings.

I attach the paper and would be really greatful for any comments. Please
send them to me at r.coles at wmin.ac.uk

Thank you

Becky

Please distribute widely

ANARCHAFEMINIST GATHERING, MANCHESTER 
Saturday April 10 and Sunday April 11 2010   
Manchester Student Union

Anarcha-feminists in Manchester, including the Anarchist Federation Women's Caucus, present two days of discussions, workshops, skill-sharing and fun for people of all ages and genders!

Whether you're a committed activist, dipping a toe in the waters or just interested in finding out what anarcha-feminism is, there will be something here for you.

We are hoping to run self-defence and assertiveness workshops over the weekend, as well as discussions from an anarcha-feminist perspective on education, health, archaeology, history, childcare, trafficking, "choice", prostitution legislation, gender and sexuality, family and capitalism, anti-religion, domestic violence, racism, women and asylum, feminism in the anarchist movement and the role of men in anarcha-feminism.

Please let us know if you'd like to get involved in facilitating or speaking at any of these discussions, suggest other discussions, or if you would like to help out in any other way - volunteers are very welcome!

Please join the event, get involved and contribute your ideas! Volunteers are also needed to help with childcare, catering, accommodation, etc.  Get in touch with us now at
anarchafeminist at af-north.org.

It would be great to get a bigger anarchafeminist/ anticapitalist
contingent at this event because it really is quite a massive feminist
event.
Lots of women go to it and it would be good to there was a larger
anarchist presence and perspective,

Totally agree. Maybe we could suggest an anti-capitalist/anarchist
workshop this year?

Below is the text of a leaflet circulated today at the WLM at 40 conference
at Ruskin Colege, Oxford.
http://www.wlm40conference.org.uk/booking.html



Class, childcare and the Women?s Liberation Movement.


Anticapitalist feminists have written a letter to the organisers of the
wlm at 40 conference, raising concerns about the price of the event and the
lack of childcare at the conference.

According to the call for papers

?The aim of this conference is to create a space for debate about the
issues facing feminists today and celebration of feminist work. WLM at 40
will capture the energy, vibrancy and vision of the first [Women's
Liberation Movement conference held at Ruskin College in 1970], building
on the foundations that it laid. This conference will reflect on the
historical significance of the 1970 (and later) conferences, share
information and skills for contemporary feminist activism, create and
celebrate feminist art and look to the future of feminism(s). Speakers
will cut across boundaries of age, class, location and sexuality and
voices that were originally absent will now be heard.?


It is hard to imagine how a conference that is so prohibitively expensive
will cut across class boundaries.


To be working class often means that we do not have access to the funds to
do the things we would like to do and many things are put out of our
reach.

As women living under capitalism, all our work is undervalued and
underpaid and we receive no income for the work as carers we often do.
Many of us in the UK are dependent on paltry state benefits and those of
us who are in paid work are facing increasing strain on our already
stretched budgets.

The feminisation of poverty is something that we are all aware of, and
much grass roots feminist activism targets this fact.

Much of feminist activism is unpaid, we do it for free and in our spare
time, because we care about women and the conditions we face. The majority
of feminist groups, organisations and campaigns are underfunded, if funded
at all.

As feminists we recognise the oppressive and inherently exploitative
nature of capitalism, we feel its effects in our everyday lives, so we act
in solidarity with those around the world who experience the far worse
effects of the capitalist nightmare -- death, poverty, ecological
destruction, etc.

The past few years have seen an increase in feminist activism around the
UK, much of it anticapitalist, and it is only right that this should be
celebrated. The first conference 40 years ago was dynamic and historically
significant, and it would be great if this conference could build on this.
We need to rebuild the Women?s Liberation Movement in order to effect the
societal change we need. However, we cannot build a movement if only those
with the privilege of ready cash get to contribute. We should always be
about accessibility and inclusiveness, after all we are organising around
the very fact that patriarchal society is not inclusive of women, and
actively excludes people on the basis of gender, class, race, sexuality,
ability, age, etc.

The means must reflect the vision. How we organise must reflect the vision
of what we?re fighting for, anything less is counter-revolutionary. That
means that events must be accessible, affordable and always inclusive.


In relation to childcare at the wlm at 40 conference

The original conference had a free cr?che that was organised by men. This
conference will have no childcare, but will instead offer parents or
carers a list of registered local childminders with whom they can place
their child, and presumably pay for this themselves.

One of the first four demands of the Women?s Liberation Movement, which,
ironically, were formulated at the first Ruskin conference in 1970, was
the demand for free 24 hour childcare, because feminists have always
recognised that many women have always been unfairly excluded from much of
mainstream life by their childcare and caring responsibilities. The demand
for decent, free childcare for all has always been one of the basics of
feminist activism. How can we demand this of society in general, if our
own events are lacking in decent free childcare?

Women who are parents and carers are often in underpaid work, or are
dependent on state benefits; the money we do have has to pay for our
families, and not just ourselves.


The price of this conference will rule it out for many working-class and
lower paid women, especially parents and carers, and the lack of free
childcare is a double insult.

Because of the way this conference has been organised, most of us are not
here, although we would very much like to be.

Will we be missed?

URGENT: WOMEN SUSPEND HUNGER STRIKE in YARL'S WOOD We have just received the email below announcing the suspension of the hunger strike by women in Yarl's Wood pending a response from UKBA and SERCO to their legitimate demands.  Several women have reported being very ill as a result of over five weeks without food.  Nevertheless they are determined to press for justice.  
Please circulate widely and support the demands of women who have so bravely challenged the authorities and exposed the injustice of detaining children, mothers and other vulnerable women, the appalling conditions in detention including racist abuse and other violence, the brutal response to their peaceful protest and the inhumanity of sending women back to possible persecution, rape and other torture.

Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2010 11:51:09 +0000

NOTIFICATION OF SUSPENSION OF HUNGER STRIKE IN YARL?S WOOD IRC 
This is to inform the authorities and the public that the on-going hunger strike is to be suspended on the 19 March 2010 at 9.00 am. We are giving the authorities and immigration the chance to look at all the issues raised before and during the strike. We are hoping that management at Serco will review problems at Yarl?s Wood. Also, we expect immigration to carefully look at the cases of women held at the detention centre.

The suspension will last for three weeks until something is done to all the issues that had been raised. Our position will be reviewed on suspension of the hunger strike if there are no changes to the problems and issues. Nobody wants to go on hunger strike, but if the authorities and immigration do not listen to us then we can resume the hunger strike on the 9 April 2010. This letter will be sent with a copy of the problems that we face at Yarl?s Wood.
 We are demanding the following actions

*There should be a full investigation into what happened during the peaceful protest on 8 February 2010.
*Any travel arrangement for the women who were involved with the protest should be suspended until after the investigation.
*End the frustrations, physical and mental torture at the centre

*Allow enough time and make resources available to residents who need to fully present their cases.

*To end all false allegations and misrepresentations by the UKBA regarding detainees in order to refuse bail or temporary admissions.

*Access to appropriate medical treatment and care as in the community, access to edible and well cooked food, cancel weekly mobile phones charges and allow phone connections, with camera and recording facilities to back up cases.

*To stop the forceful removal and degrading system of deportation of detainees
*To put law into practice, European rules governing standard of conditions of detention for migrants and asylum seekers and the length of time in detention.

*Detention should be by a standard procedure prescribed by law, authorized by judicial authority and be subjected to periodic judicial reviews.

*To end the detention of children and their mothers, rape survivors and other torture victims, to end the detention of physically, mentally sick people and pregnant women for long period of time.

* Stop the fingerprinting and taking photograph of our visitors (Even real prisons don?t do this to visitors)

*To end the separation of children from their mothers being detained whether in detention or by destitution.

*There should be an interpreter for non English speaking women in the wings to help them with their queries.

*To end the detention of women after serving time in prison.  Women served their sentence they should not be punished again by detention or deportation.
* The extortion of Yarl?s Wood shop must end. The shop charges us extra 20p per item, even though the centre knows we have no money.
* To abolish the fast track system, in order to give asylum seekers a fair chance with their application, while understanding the particular needs of victims of torture, and access to reliable legal representation which the fast track system denies.
 *There should be more female offices and black offices. The centre is 80 percent black detainee and only female offices should search our rooms.
*There are very little activities in the centre. There are 12 computer (which is very slow to use), 10 chairs in the arts room with small material to work with. This is suppose to cater for more than 400 women. The library have no popular books and all the books are very old. We are not allowed to order books from other library.
*To end the repeat detention of women granted temporary admission while reporting or signing after a short period out of detention.

*To a set period of time allowed to detain women, which should be no longer than one month, while waiting decision either from UKBA or court proceedings.
*Finally instead of detention of foreign nationals, there are alternatives to detention stated by the *Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE). 'The detention of asylum seekers and irregular migrants in Europe ', Adopted on the 28th January 2010, extracts  below.
9.1.1.       detention of asylum seekers and irregular migrants shall be exceptional and only used after first reviewing all other alternatives and finding that there is no effective alternative;
9.3.4.1. placement in special establishments (open or semi-open);
9.3.4.2. registration and reporting;
9.3.4.3. release on bail/surety;
9.3.4.4. controlled release to individuals, family members, NGOs, religious organizations, or others;
9.3.4.5. handover of travel and other documents, release combined with appointment of a special worker;

we are still very short of people to faciliate at the Manchester weekend. Ideally , facilitators should be women. that is clear. What I'm not sure about is how do people feel if we are short of facilitators nearer the time is it ok to have male facilitators.I would be grateful of your opinions/feelings so we can plan it.

Sorry not to respond to this earlier - I think it's a really good idea as
long as it's men known and trusted by somebody involved in the organising,
which probably goes without saying as they'd be unlikely to hear about it if
this wasn't the case.

*No to Welfare Abolition*

*the national planning meeting*


 Manchester University Students Union, *Steve Biko Building, Oxford Road,
Manchester, M13 9PR, rooms MR1 and MR2*

Saturday 17th April

Arrive 11.30am for 12 noon start. Finish 5.30pm.


 Our rights to welfare are under attack from all sides. The Welfare Reform
Act passed last year is making it harder for single parents, unemployed
workers, people with illness, disabilities or impairments and carers to
get
by. High profile poster campaigns target 'benefit thieves', while benefit
fraud is at a low and bankers escape the recession with billions of
taxpayers' money.


 17 April is our chance for welfare and disability rights activists,
members
of unemployed workers' groups and trade unionists to get to together, build
links of solidarity and plan our struggles. If you are organising to defend
welfare or want to start doing so, please make sure people from your group
come along!


 Free lunch will be provided.

Let us know you are coming by emailing
*hackneyunemployedworkers at gmail.com*.

LETTER FROM IAN TOMLINSON FAMILY CAMPAIGN

1st April 2010

To the Director of Public Prosecutions,

It has now been one year since the tragic death of Ian Tomlinson during the
G20 protests in the City of London on 1st April 2009.

Whilst we appreciate a fair and thorough investigation takes time, Ian?s
grieving family has been left in limbo for a year waiting for a full
explanation about the circumstances of Ian?s death. There is now very real
concern as to whether the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) proposes to charge
anyone in respect of the assault and death of Ian Tomlinson.

The CPS has been in possession of the provisional Independent Police
Complaints Commission investigation findings since August 2009. We
understand that these findings, at least in part will provide the basis for
your decision on whether to prosecute anyone for Ian?s death. We also note
that you, the Director of Public Prosecutions, went on public record in a
Guardian interview on September 21st 2009 to say you hoped the CPS would
reach a decision ?within a few months?.

Delays in the investigation and charging decisions increase the suffering
for families of victims leaving them unable to gain closure and move on with
their lives. Families are greatly concerned not to prejudice the process and
are therefore effectively silenced from expressing their views publicly
about the death of their loved one. They are desperate to ensure any
potential future legal proceedings are not undermined nor an excuse found to
abandon any cases that might be brought. The Tomlinson family has endured a
year of public scrutiny unable to respond to questions about Ian?s death,
with little they can do but wait for the outcome of your decision.  The
delay however is now intolerable.

The policing of the G20 protest caused widespread public concern around use
of excessive force by police officers. Proceedings against many protestors
arrested on the day, as well as a number of reviews and investigations into
the events of the day, have all been concluded. In the case of Ian
Tomlinson, there is a heightened need for the statutory investigating body
to be seen to be carrying out justice in a robust, transparent and timely
manner to address public confidence. One year later the public, like the
Tomlinson family, are still left with unanswered questions about how and why
Ian died at the G20.

In the absence of any updates from the CPS, we have growing concerns about
the investigation into Ian's death. There has been a complete lack of
communication and transparency about the delay into concluding the
investigation into Ian Tomlinson?s death that calls the CPS' credibility
into question.

As we have already set out we do not wish to prejudice any investigation or
potential proceedings but believe that either a decision or public
explanation is due. We call on the CPS to fulfill its public duty regarding
the investigation into the death of Ian Tomlinson and respond to this letter
immediately.

Signed

*HUNGRY FOR HOUSING!*

* The Hackney Housing Group will fast on Friday 9th April 11 am ? 6.30*.

 The Hackney housing group, who are homeless people and people in bad
housing, are fasting for one day outside Hackney Town Hall. Come and give us
support!

 There will be free children?s activities all day in the town hall square
-come and get involved!

At 6 pm there will be a free meal and demonstration outside Hackney Town
Hall in support of our demands. We will be breaking our fast with a free
meal in Hackney Town Hall Square.

Contact Hackney Housing Group for more information on ?

07931 698 438 or 0207 247 6101

londoncoalitionagainstpoverty at gmail.com

*Why are we fasting?*

 Nearly 2000 Hackney residents are in temporary accommodation, while 17,
604
households are in overcrowded, unsuitable accommodation and urgently need to
move. Yet Boris Johnson has just awarded Hackney Council *?1.3 million* to
refurbish Kingsland Road as part of the city?s improvements for the 2012
Olympics!

 Instead of spending our money on cosmetic improvements, we?re asking
Hackney Council to look at housing conditions; stop trimming the gardens and
consider the broken, mouldy, dirty homes people are forced to live in.

 We are asking for support from all parts of the community. Please
consider
signing your organisations name to the Housing Group?s demands which are in
brief:

*We demand more social housing**. The Council must spend what resources they
have on social housing, not ?affordable? housing and increase their social
housing stock.*

*We demand that the Council?s housing and overcrowding strategies must be
rewritten.** They do not meet our needs. *Hackney's strategy for
'affordable
housing' will help none of us. Affordable housing is not affordable!

The Housing group?s demands can be read at www.lcap.org.uk

We would be honoured if you would attend and /or help us publicise this
important event. Let?s make the council see that improvements need to be
made for the community, not just tourists!
