NO2ID/ Students Against ID
 http://www.no2id.net/  http://manchester.no2id.net/students
UK-wide non-partisan campaign opposing the government's planned ID card and National Identity Register.

Northern Anarchists Network (NAN)
A forum for anarchist affinity groups, individual anarchists and libertarian membership organisations in the North.

Northern Herald Books
Secondhand bookstall with a specialism in anarchism and libertarian socialism.

Northern Voices
 http://www.northernvoicesmag.blogspot.com
A regional journal, published by a NAN affinity group, that aims at challenging the establishment in an interesting way that appeals to a popular local readership.

Olive Co-operative
 http://www.olivecoop.com/
Olive Co-operative seeks to raise awareness of the difficulties faced by Palestinians, and to support those working for a just peace in Palestine and Israel.

Shift magazine
 http://www.shiftmag.co.uk
The idea is to create a space for the exchange of radical ideas and strategies, though always with reference or direct relevance to organisation and ‘activism’. But we also want to make a political intervention into activist theory and practice. We take for granted that Shift readers are looking for debate on a non-state, non-capitalist ‘way out’. Yet, we will challenge all answers, as ‘radical’ as they may be, that will increase social control or that demand a movement for austerity.

Smash EDO
 http://www.smashedo.org.uk/
We are residents of Brighton who marched against the war. We were sickened to learn that a company in our home town was not only profiting from, but making possible the illegal and immoral slaughter in Iraq. Smash EDO is a grassroots response to EDO's complicity in murderous crimes - a banner under which people opposed to those crimes can rally.

Solidarity Federation
 http://www.solfed.org.uk/
Solidarity Federation is a federation of groups and individuals across England, Scotland & Wales. Everyone involved is helping to build a non-hierarchical, anti-authoritarian solidarity movement.

Stair Books
Offers a wide variety of literature and other media from a large number of sources that covers anarchist, anti-bolshevik, autonomist, council communist and situationist thought.
New and second hand books and pamphlets that also covers anthropology, history, culture and sex to name just a few subjects. Also carries some music and music related titles along with films and documentaries that would be of interest to people interested in questioning the status quo.

Target Brimar
Brimar is a Manchester based company that manufactures a range of screens and viewing equipment. These can, of course, be used for a whole range of purposes, but Brimar has over the years come to specialise in producing them for military uses. We are a group of citizens from Manchester and Greater Manchester. We believe that Brimar's products have been, and may still be, used to commit war crimes in various conflicts in the Middlle East and elsewhere.
