Reclaim Love goes all over the world

17-02-2009 02:11

Much sambaing
Venus' annual extravaganza, as well as actually falling on Valentine's day this year, also went truly global. See here:
 http://www.reclaimlove.org/ for all the other countries celebrating likewise.
This has to be the most cheerful event in the activist calendar as it's very hard to find a non smiling face. The only killjoys were the two cops booking an acrobat for climbing up to Eros and a pair of city guardians trying to find out who was in charge.

Yahya al Faifi Must Stay in the UK

Lobby of the Home Secretary
Thursday 19th February 2:00pm
Home Office
2 Marsham Street
London
SW1P 4DF
(Tubes: St James Park, Millbank and Westminster)

Yahya al Faifi, a very brave and self-sacrificing trade unionist - and a deeply committed socialist - is facing deportation back to a tyranny in Saudi Arabia that regularly tortures and "disappears" dissidents. On 12 February, he received a rejection letter for his appeal against the refusal of his asylum claim appeal. Now, he and his family are in imminent danger of deportation from Britain.

This will be a labour and trade union movement event with banners, large numbers and as wide representation as possible.
