WORLD DAY FOR LAB ANIMALS

16-03-2006 23:24

After 18 months of standstill, work has now resumed on Oxford University’s proposed massive animal research centre. It is crucial that we make a stand now for the animals before it’s too late.
It has recently been revealed that the government has pledged £100million of tax payers’ money to underwrite the project. This is testament to the level at which this government is now under the
influence of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry.

the Sumac Centre appeal

05-09-2005 17:37

The Sumac Centre in Nottingham needs help.

The Sumac Centre is an independent community and activist resource centre in Nottingham, UK. It is made up of a community cafe, social club, radical/social library, art exhibition space, veggie catering campaign, filmnights, talks, meeting spaces and the residents. The centre is used by various local groups, collectives and individuals working towards social change and sustainability. It has hosted many national and international gatherings in the past and hopes to continue to do so. The centre is entirely run by volunteers.

At the moment the centre is in need of help. Mainly due to reduced use of the centre/bar/cafe over the summer and mortgage rates increasing. At the moment there is a shortage of volunteers meaning the centre can't be open as much. We would like to continue to support and promote the work of many campaigns and individuals and continue the work we do in our local community...
