PETITION - HELP SAVE SPECIALIST SERVICES FOR BAME WOMEN AND CHILDREN


We are asking people to register their concern about the proposed funding cuts by London Council's to specialist domestic violence, rape and abuse services delivered by Ashiana Network, ELBWO, EACH, Southall Black Sisters and Women and Girls Network. 

The proposed cuts will mean that almost 2000 BAME women per annum from across 24 London boroughs will lose access to these highly reputable, trusted, specialist, life saving services which have been developed to meet the specific needs of the women and children they support. 

The loss of these key services would have an adverse effect on BAME women and children.

Take 1 minute of your time to sign our petition: http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/specialistservices and ask others to do the same.

You can also support our services by completing the online consultation and asking that our services are re-categorised as A*. http://www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/services/grants/supplementaryconsultation.htm 

The closing date for responses is 17.00 on Friday, 8th April 2011

In solidarity

Hello everyone, 

I'm a PhD student at Birkbeck College, University of London. As part of my 
research I'm interested in talking to feminist women about how they came to see 
themselves as feminist, who or what influenced them and what they feel it means 
to be a feminist. Taking part would involve an interview and discussion of 
personal photographs and images at a place convinient to you. If you are 
interested and would like further information, please get in touch (see attached 
for details). 


This research has received approval from the Birkbeck College Ethics Committee. 

Best wishes, 

Carly

Message-ID: <016901cbf4b8$170d52a0$3e298351@oemcomputer>

THE GREAT BP-SPONSORED SLEEP-IN
Sunday 17 April 2011, 2PM at Tate Modern, Bankside, London, SE1 9TG
 
To mark the one year anniversary of the BP Gulf of Mexico oil spill, join us for 'The great BP-sponsored sleep-in', a 4-minute flashmob art installation inside Tate Modern. Imagine the turbine hall of this former power station filled with BP-branded sleeping figures, who will soon wake from their BP-sponsored coma to sound the climate alarm.
 
BP's greenwash is sleepwalking us into the climate crisis. BP sponsors galleries like Tate to try and clean up its tarnished image, and distract us from its devastating activities around the world. Every pound of dirty oil money accepted by Tate helps legitimise a long legacy of environmental destruction and human rights abuses.  It's time to take off the blindfold, rub the sponsorship sleep from our eyes, and give Tate and BP a wake-up call.
 
This family friendly event will highlight BP's sponsorship to the public, and show that we are not prepared  to stand by as the Tate helps BP greenwash its image. and allow us all a few minutes to dream of a future free from oil spills and oil sponsorship of the arts.
 
SIX STEPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL SPONSORED SLEEP-IN
 1. Synchronise your watch using this website:
 http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fullscreen.html?n=136
 2. Enter the building before 2PM
 3. Choose your sleep-in spot - caf?, corridor, lift, gift shop, and of course exhibits are all fair game, but please pick somewhere on Levels 1 (turbine hall level), 2 or 3 (this is where our camera crews will be to film the fun).
 4. At exactly 2.15PM, unpack your BP branded sheet, pillow, pyjamas, sleep mask, teddy bear, alarm clock or any other sleep related props (see here for ideas and downloadable props: http://www.artnotoil.org.uk/bpweekofaction/resources) and start the sleep-in!
 5. Exactly 4 minutes later, the flash mob will be over as alarm clocks sound the wake-up call throughout the gallery. Take off your sponsored blindfolds and bedding, leave them behind if you wish, and head outside to.
 6. Post-slumber party on the South Bank. Listen to speakers from BP-affected communities from the Gulf of Mexico and the Canadian Tar Sands, help engage gallery-goers with leaflets and vox pop video messages and enjoy live music and a pedal-powered sound system.
 
So join us on April 17th, and show the Tate that we won't take oil sponsorship of the arts lying down!
 
More info: http://www.artnotoil.org.uk/bpweekofaction/flashmob
 Facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=137704989634221
 
This flashmob is part of a week of action to kick BP out of our cultural spaces:
 
BP AND CULTURE - TIME TO BREAK IT OFF!
14 - 20 April 2011
 
In the week between BP's AGM and the one-year anniversary of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, we are calling for actions and creative interventions to show the true nature of BP's damaging activities around the world, and to persuade our most prestigious galleries and cultural spaces to liberate themselves from BP's dirty money.
 
Sponsorship of galleries, museums and other cultural spaces is one of the most important ways BP tries to protect its reputation and buy our acceptance. By breaking off BP's relationship with our most prestigious cultural institutions, we strike a blow to BP's precious brand, topple BP's powerful position in our society, and reclaim our public spaces. On the anniversary of the Gulf spill, let's reveal the sticky black stuff behind BP's shiny green logo, and pile on the pressure to kick BP out of our cultural spaces for good.
 
Creative interventions will be popping up at sponsored galleries and institutions throughout the week, so watch this space, or better yet plan your own!
 
This week of action is called by Art Not Oil, Climate Camp London, Climate Rush, Indigenous Environmental Network, Liberate Tate, London Rising Tide and UK Tar Sands Network.

recommendations to MP'S on Wednesday 4th May- we call on your solidarity
to join us!

From: millionwomanrise at gmail.com



Dear Sisters and Supporters,



Please pass this invite wide and far. We need your support on the 4th May



The UK delegation of Million Women Rise to the World March of Women
International
Action, Bukavu, east of the DR Congo will be presenting their report and
recommendations to MP's and Peers at a meeting co-sponsored by Jeremy
Corbyn MP, the
Great Lakes All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) and the Million Women
Rise UK
delegation to the World March of Women on:



Wednesday 4th May 2011

6pm - 7.30pm

Grimond Room, Portcullis House, SW1A 3JA

speakers will include

Marie- Claire (WILPF, COMMON CAUSE, MWR)

Jane Gregory (Rape Crisis England &amp; Wales, MWR)

Sabrina Qureshi (MWR)

Maman Louise (Common Cause)

Chaired by (Jeremy Corbyn)



Women wanted to take action. Here's what we can do right now:



Please contact your MP, tell them about the APPG meeting and say that as a
constituent you really want them to attend. You may want to make points
about ongoing horrific violence against women in the east of the DR Congo
being relevant
to you, all UK tax payers and indeed everyone in the UK since the Dept for
International Development spends a million $ a day in Congo, British based
multi-nationals have been linked to the torture and murder of women e.g.
Afrimex, UK
Government foreign policy regarding support for regimes in the Great Lakes
Region
plays an important role and crucially we are all carrying mobiles and
using technology that rely on minerals from Congo e.g. coltan. If you can
take the time to
write a personal email/letter to your MP it will have an impact. It's our
job to
make all our MP's take notice that this is an issue we want them to engage
in.



If you want to attend the meeting on the 4th May in Westminster Palace
that would be
fab! Please email me at info at brcg.org.uk to register and get further info.



Lets see if we can be part of building an unstoppable momentum to end
violence
against women in Congo, in the UK and everywhere.



Jane

Vice Chair

Rape Crisis England and Wales

	Wednesday 11th May - from 11.30 am
Message-ID: <CA149F2C3E3044AD879795AB044AEC56@Gail>

Hardest Hit March And Rally - Wednesday 11th May - from 11.30 am 
  
On Wednesday May 11th thousands of disabled people, their families and supporters from all over the country will come together to protest with one voice outside the Houses of Parliament and make their feelings known about the impact of spending cuts on disabled people. 
  
The day of protest, organised by UKDPC and major disability organisations, will send a strong and powerful message to the Government and you're invited to join us. 
  
Why are we marching? 
  
We're marching to make sure that the Government hears disabled people's voices. Cuts to vital benefits and services will have a massive impact on disabled people's independence and could push people into poverty - the Government must act now to make sure that disabled people are not the Hardest Hit. 
  
The march and rally 
  
The march will begin on Victoria Embankment between Horseguards Avenue and Bridge Street. Please assemble at this point at 11.30. There will be a rally on Victoria Embankment with speeches between 12 and 12.30 before the march sets off. The march will then begin at 12.30. Some organisations may be meeting up before the march, to march as a group. Check with your organisation for more information. 
  
The march will take about an hour.  It will take in Victoria Embankment , Parliament Square, Millbank and finish in Dean Stanley Street. 
  
The lobby 
  
After the march the group will be lobbying MPs as the Welfare Reform Bill reaches a critical stage in the House of Commons. They will be sharing their stories, making sure that Parliamentarians understand the combined impact of the cuts on their lives and futures. Crucially, they will be challenging MPs to vote against policies that will push disabled people further into poverty and isolation. The lobby is expected to take place in Westminster Hall and Methodist Central Hall and to run between 13.30 and 17.30. 
  
Methodist Central Hall, which is near the end of the march route, will be available as a quiet space during the day. 
  
Route of the march: 
  
The route goes from Victoria embankment, around Portcullis House, in front of the Houses of Parliament and finishes next to Dean Stanley street. 
1. Jubilee Bridge 
2. Westminster Bridge 
3. Victoria Embankment 
4. A308 
5. Whitehall Place 
6. Whitehall Court 
7. Horse Guards Avenue 
8. Richmond Terrace 
9. Derby Gate 
10. Bridge Street 
11. Parliament Street/Whitehall 
12. The Mall 
13. Horse Guards Road 
14. Downing Street 
15. King Charles Street 
16. Birdcage Walk 
17. Victoria Street 
18. Great Peter Street 
19. Dean Stanley Street 
20. Horseferry Road 
21. Lord North Street 
22. Gayfere Street 
23. Dean Bradley Street 
24. Great Smith Street 
25. Great Smith Street 
  
What support will be available on the day? 
  
There will be a large team of 250 stewards to ensure the day runs smoothly as well as representatives from disabled people's organisations and charities involved with the day. To ensure we know what levels of support we need to provide please register your details. Following registration you will receive regular updates and all the information you will need for the day. Go to http://tinyurl.com/69g643x to register. 
  
Where should we meet on the day? 
  
The march will begin at the Embankment by Horseguards Avenue. We will ask everyone to assemble at this point at 11.30am. The march will then begin at 12.30pm. 
  
Can I still take part if I can't get to London on May 11th? 
  
Yes of course. You can write to your MP and meet with him locally. MPs usually hold surgery's and meet with constituents on the Friday or the Saturday. A template letter is available at http://www.hardesthit.org.uk/. You can also show your support for the campaign by sending a message along with a photo or short film of yourself about the importance of disability benefits to info at hardesthit.org.uk 
  
What provision will there be for disabled people? 
  
Accessible toilets will be available on the day. 
  
Where will I be able to park? 
  
There will be a drop off and pick off points for coaches and minibuses at Methodist Central Hall and on Victoria Embankment. Additional parking spaces will be arranged. Please check back to http://www.ukdpc.net or http://www.hardesthit.org.uk/ for more details. 
  
Will the march still go ahead if the weather's bad? 
  
Yes, but please check the weather forecast before you set off and bring with you the appropriate clothing. 
  
How far do I need to walk, and how long will it take? 
  
The march will take an hour. It will begin at the Embankment by Horseguards Avenue and take in Victoria Embankment , Bridge Street, Parliament Square, Millbank and finish in Dean Stanley Street. 
  
Will there be drinks and refreshments available? 
  
Please bring your own lunch and refreshments for the day. 
  
Do I have to be there all day, or can I join in with different parts of the day? 
  
The day is divided into three parts, the march in the morning, meeting with MPs in Westminster Hall and a rally in the afternoon at Methodist Central Hall. It is up to you which elements of the day you wish to attend. On your registration form please tell us which bits you will be attending. 
  
Do I have to take part in the march, the rally and the lobby? 
  
It is up to you, which part of the day you attend, but please let us know through the sign up form.There are limited spaces for the rally at Methodist Central Hall, and places will be allocated through the sign up form. 
  
Do you have any promotional materials I can print off? 
  
We have prepared a poster that can be downloaded as a PDF.

Please if you can get involved help us, also send to all your contacts, Zelda

Dear all,
At any moment, residents of Dale Farm might be receiving a 28 days notice of eviction.  We need to reach as many people as possible in the next several weeks.  Below is an update with some background information on ways people can support Dale Farm.  Please forward it to friends and any relevant email lists you are on, as well as posting our web and facebook pages on social networking and other sites.  If you organise with any groups, please invite them to get involved.
Thanks!

An update on Dale Farm and how you can support us

With cuts in social housing, the homeless are getting a rough deal from the present Coalition Government, and none more so than Travellers.  They were told a while back to buy their own land and settle themselves and now Eric Pickles is encouraging councils to evict them from the places they bought.

This is causing a crisis for many thousands of families and matters have come to a head at Dale Farm, in Essex. The largest Traveller community in the UK, Dale Farm is under threat of bulldozing. Some hundred families face the largest eviction of its kind in recent memory, a nightmare which will force its residents to camp again on roadsides and car-parks.

Most of Dale Farm lies on a former scrap-yard about 30 minutes by train from London. Ignoring pleas from UN bodies, and more recently Amnesty International, Basildon District Council has set aside 9.2 million pounds for the eviction operation (more than 1/3 of it's budget). Essex police have requested another 10 million pounds from the Home Office to cover what they expect to be a three week battle with resisting residents and supporters.

This is an act of ethnic cleansing comparable to what has been seen in France and Italy - and together we aim to stop it.

Dale Farm residents are expecting to receive 28 day notice of eviction in May.   They are asking people of goodwill to come and spend a night in Dale Farm when the notice expires.  Please join us, by signing up at https://smsalerts.tachanka.org/dalefarm/ (this website may give you a ?certificate warning? but pay no mind). If you're on facebook, you can also invite your friends to https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=170414852985935 

We'll need people to act as human rights monitors and come to Dale Farm in the event of an eviction.  See http://dalefarm.wordpress.com/hrm/ for details.  Many of us will be resisting the eviction through civil disobedience, and there will be training workshops for this.  Before the 28 days notice expires (now likely in June), a supporting camp within Dale Farm will be set up, and accommodation arranged in family homes.  Camping space will also be available.  Sign up to our email bulletins to get the latest news:  http://lists.ucrony.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dalefarm-solidarity

Dale Farm Solidarity meets every Sunday in London or by skype.  Email us at savedalefarm at gmail.com if you'd like to help organise with us, or if you're part of a group which can add it's name to our pledge to spend a night at Dale Farm.  We also have leaflets, films and speaker lists if you'd like to put on an infonight in your community.

No Pasaran!  They shall not pass!
