Don't deport Elizabeth:Support Ugandan lesbian with 3 days until deportation

from an email circulated, 31-05-2006 10:29

Elizabeth is now booked onto a flight to Uganda on Friday 2nd June - she is unlikely to survive on return.

We have just three days to convince the Immigration Minister to stop her deportation and to convine KLM not to fly her. We CAN do this by making lots of noise and making a general nuisance of ourselves. Read more | 1 comment >>

ride of silence 7pm velodrome wed 17 may

ride of silence, 16-05-2006 12:11

ride of silence manchester tomorrw (wednesday) from velodrome 7pm.

Each participant should wear a black armband, or a red armband if they have been injured themselves.

Riders should be silent as far as possible. It isn’t a protest in the
traditional sense: there will be no banners or slogans.


it is a ride to remember and to think and not to be outwardly angry but instead to let our silence and our numbers have the required effect.


"The Ride Of Silence is a free ride that asks its cyclists to ride no
faster than 12 mph and remain silent during the ride. There is no
brochure, no sponsors, no registration fees and no t-shirt. The ride,
which is being held during Bike Safety month (U.S), aims to raise theawareness of motorists, police and city officials that cyclists have a legal right to the public roadways. The ride is also a chance to showrespect for those who have been killed or injured."

Adie, 05-05-2006 13:02

It's also the inspiring story of Jewish Israeli Arna Mer Khamis, and her endeavours to bring some light to those kids through a children's theatre. We’ll be raising money for the new childrens theatre and it's on at 7:30pm Monday night at the University of Manchester Student Union Read more >>
