SHAC newsletter 52 - out now!

SHAC newsletter 52
The last three months have been devastating for Huntingdon, as their financial longevity starts to crumble. After a sustained campaign against Barclays for their position as HLS’ top institutional shareholder, they sold all of their shares, leaving Huntingdon once again below the minimum listing standards of the NYSE ARCA exchange. Unsurprisingly the NYSE have so far turned a blind eye to this breach of their own regulations, but as Barclays will tell them, there is only so long you can ignore SHAC!

There are moments that our movement of hope is made for. This is one of them.

In a few weeks time, football hooligans, far right extremists and Islamophobes are planning to descend on Luton, with a simple goal - to whip up fear, and religious tensions.

The last time the anti-Islam protesters marched in Luton, gangs of thugs stormed the predominantly Muslim area of the town, smashing up cars and shopfronts along the way - and forcing law abiding men and women to flea or fight to safeguard their homes and families. Riot police had to be deployed and 35 people were arrested. We can't let this happen again.sion and violence. And you won't be surprised to hear that the BNP are involved

Olympia/Tacoma May Day "Fantasic Four" Update (Fucking Support Them) (USA)

20-08-2009 10:09

Most of the four have already started their sentences, so let's fucking support them. Regardless of what you think of their actions, they are members of our community and we must support them. They are targets of the state, but most importantly they are ours. Jail can be horribly alienating so please take five minutes to help lessen the load and remind them that we are thinking of them. Oh, and course, letters/phone calls to elected officials stating your displeasure with this ridiculous witch hunt are always appreciated!
