Thursday 3rd May 2007 - Vote No2ID in Manchester Local Elections!

The Local Elections in May will elect councillors in over 30 wards to
Manchester City Council. Manchester No2ID are making sure that ID
cards are on the agenda, and will be giving you the information you
need to vote on this issue.

Three motions have been put before the Council in recent years
opposing ID cards. Three times they have been voted down by the pro-ID
Labour majority. They have not bothered to ask the Treasurer how much
the system will cost Council Tax payers, no idea whether it will make
the council's services more efficient or less vulnerable to fraud (it
won't), and no idea of the risks of identity theft to people forced
onto the Big Brother database by circumstance.

Unlike dozens of councils - see
 http://www.no2id.net/resources/motions/index.php - Manchester City
Council refuses to keep its inhabitants safe from the NIR, or to rule
out Mancunians being used as guinea pigs in pilots and trials. Any
candidate who supports ID Cards and the NIR supports wasting your
money and violating your privacy, and does not deserve your vote.
Manchester No2ID will ask all candidates from all parties for their
opinions on the National Identity Register, and you can let them know
your opinion at the ballot box!

Saturday 5th May 2007 - Big Opt Out Action in Bolton

Ahead of the proposed trial of the NHS Care Records System in Bolton,
The Big Opt Out campaign -  http://www.nhsconfidentiality.org/ - will
be telling the people of Bolton how their medical records will be
placed online without their explicit consent, and how to stop this
from happening.

Manchester No2ID are asking supporters to lend a hand on this day.
More details will be made available as soon as we have them, please
subscribe to the Manchester No2ID Mailing List for the latest details!

Thursday 10th May, 5:30pm - 6:30pm: Oxford Road Station Flyering

Manchester No2ID will be taking their fortnightly flyering campaign
back to Oxford Road Station, to raise awareness of the National
Identity Register among Manchester commuters. This is a great way to
spend an hour meeting other No2ID supporters, as well as doing
something positive for the campaign and still being home in time for
tea.

Meet at the bottom of Oxford Road Station approach. You won't need to
bring anything other than your hands and a smile!

Thursday 17th May, 7pm - 9pm: Manchester NO2ID Meeting

Manchester NO2ID will be holding our monthly meeting in the upstairs
function room of the Town Hall Tavern, Tib Lane, Manchester. Sadly,
this venue is not wheelchair-accessible, please contact us if you have
accessibility needs.

We will be looking at the results of the Manchester local elections,
discussing a forthcoming film / social night at the FAB Cafe and
other activities.

Thursday 24th May, 5:30pm - 6:30pm: Piccadilly Station Flyering

Manchester No2ID will be taking their fortnightly flyering campaign
back to Piccadilly Station, to raise awareness of the National
Identity Register among Manchester commuters.

Meet at the bottom of Piccadilly Station Approach and look for the
No2ID T-shirts or badges. You won't need to bring anything other than
your hands and a smile!
