YAHOO GEOCITIES IS CLOSING AT THE END OF THE MONTH so the website has moved to  http://www.afed.org.uk/nottingham/claimants/ hosted by the Nottingham group of the Anarchist Federation:
 http://www.afed.org.uk/nottingham

NCA / NCAJSA is now just a website now, as the group hasn't existed for quite some time. But hopefully in the future there will be a new claimants' group in Nottingham.

If you are going to the anarchist bookfair in London this weekend there are some good meetings relating to claimants activism. Full programme here  http://www.anarchistbookfair.org/whatson.html

ROOM EB 4, Below Octagon Room stalls:

4pm – 4.50pm
Dig where you stand: mutual aid, self-activity and current anarchist strategy

This meeting is for people interested in the current wave of occupations and revival of direct-action casework. It asks how this new culture of resistance can bring about generalised class confidence and help us in our own struggles at work, at the job centre etc.

Organised by: Anarchist Federation

Plus (same room, just before):

3pm – 3.50pm
Beyond Direct Action Casework - Collectivising Struggle

While Direct Action Casework gains concrete victories for individuals and families, it is not enough. Mass organisations need to be built to collectivise our struggles.

Organised by: London Coalition Against Poverty

Plus (in other room):

12 noon – 12.50pm
Countrywide Opposition to Welfare Reforms

With increasingly punitive attacks on Jobcentre users, claimants across the UK are organising to defend social welfare.
