here are some suggestions .other people may add more.

Stop the War Coalition: www.stopwar.org.uk
formed when US/UK decided to invade afganistan. most famous for organising the 2 million strong demo on 15th feb, also against bush when he visited london. made up of lots of organisations including CND,green party, war on want, and many more

RESPECT: www.respectcoalition.org
which stands for repect equality socialism, peace, eniroment, community, trade unionism. Standing in 10th june European elections. anti-war party, attracting ex-labour activists, socialist, black and muslim , pissed off with blair and his imperialist drive and his fixation with neo liberal policies.

if u were to get involved in these groupings u will likely to meet other people in other organisations. including women groups , grassroot activists ,socialist ,muslim community ect.

also in uk we have real threat from right wing fascists movement namely the BNP who are standing in the elections, they try to spread lies and hatred . United against Fascism was born to tackle the nazi menance. they provide propagander to counter act the fascists myths and lies. they have delivered over 1 million anti-fascist leaflets to people homes, exposing the BNP nazi policies.

hope this is of help to u.

Earth First! Summer Gathering 2004
Every day we see those in power continue to wreak havoc on the planet and its inhabitants. Wage slavery and consumer culture dominate our lives. Vibrant diverse life is replaced by cold monotonous concrete. Forests are cut down. Animals are tortured and killed for profit. Billions are spent bombing, killing, maiming and destroying, while other people lack the means to meet their most basic survival needs.

But all around the world resistance is growing - Genetically Modified crops trashed, bulldozers destroyed, war machinery sabotaged, land squatted, offices disrupted, billboards subvertised… Involved in some of this resistance are people active with Earth First!

Earth First! is not an organisation or a campaign but a convenient banner for those who share similar ideas to act under. The general principles behind the name are non-hierarchical organisation and the use of direct action to confront, stop and eventually reverse the forces that are responsible for the destruction of the Earth and its inhabitants.

Since 1992, the Earth First! Summer Gathering has been a space for everyone involved or interested in getting involved with ecological direct action, from around Britain and abroad, to come together, learn new skills and discuss ideas and plans for action.
