GM Crop Trials - Protest
The first GM Crop Trials in years are getting underway in Cambridge. This is widely being viewed as a test of public opinion and if we let these trials go ahead with little or no opposition, more GM trials, and eventually commercial growing will be here before we know it. Please come along and support this protest and keep an eye on our (currently very basic) website - http://www.cambridgeaction.net/gmconcern

Petition Power - Online petitions to PM concerning animals
This site is a government website where people can start petitions for the Prime minister to take into account. The anti road charging petition being in the news recently because the government are taking on board that 1.5 million people have signed it and it would therefore be unpopular for them to bring this in. This is a potentially great opportunity for people who care about animals to have their say. It is especially important because the Hunt supporters have a petition to scrap the hunting act 2004, which now has 28,000 signatures. We must show the strength of feeling against hunting and support for the ban being tightened.
