[Campaignforrealdemocracy] international link ups

[Mark Barrett]

 fyi - this might be a great way to connect climate camp and the real
democracy agenda to the issues other communities face. james, others, what
do you think? harry is a friend very interested in refugee issues, and who
works for the bbc (and who also made this film
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/jun/13/immigration.immigrationpolicy )

see below for more info

hi harry

the community to community thing  worldwide is a great idea. what we're
doing here is calling for people to form real democracy cells in their
neighbourhoods, dedicated to making decisions democratically, inclusively
and then non-violently taking control of the area in whatever way they deem
appropriate. doing this under one banner would allows groups across London /
UK / worldwide to connect up. i think what you are talking about has great
potential as it makes the links between issues around climate,
refugee and how to build a really good, and globally supportive society.

please do pass on my details to any key activists you meet - we need a
global localism and a local globalism, right?

>> Hi guys,

>> Here's the short film I worked on up in Sheffield about asylum seekers and
>> refugees. Check it out at:

>> I think it's really important that we get stuck in with local actions
>> (that have global dimensions). I've chatted to Emma Williams at Student
>> Action for Refugees about doing something practical with asylum seekers
>> (conversation club, english teaching, voucher swap etc..) but it would be
>> great if we could do something regular as a group.
>>
>> Let's chat about it at the next meeting.
