Members of the Traveller Solidarity Network are half way through a month long tour of the UK, giving a series of talks/info nights in a variety of cities to share their experiences from Dale Farm and other Traveller Sites, to bring together activists and people from GRT communities, to help to build the Network of settled and Travelling people in the UK, and to raise awareness about protests and celebrations happening on Roma Nation Day (8th April).

So far the tour has had successful meetings in cities including Bristol, Glasgow, Southampton, and Birmingham, with local actions decided upon and groups beginning to form in some of these cities (In Glasgow for example activists have shared email addresses to talk about how they can work with Roma in the Govan Hill area, and plan to hold some kind of event for Roma Nation Day).

The tour continues over the next two weeks; visiting York, Durham, Bradford, and Sheffield, in the next few days and many other cities soon (for a full list of destinations and to see if the tour is coming to your city see  http://travellersolidarity.org/traveller-solidarity-tour/infotour-dates/)...

Activists organising and speaking on the tour have been writing a blog from the road, which can be found at  http://travellersolidarity.org/traveller-solidarity-tour/blog-from-the/ and details the adventures of the crew.....
