West Midlands Anarchists-Minutes 10/02/06

WMA | 14.02.2006 20:20 | Birmingham

Minutes from the latest meeting held by West Midlands Anarchists group

-Brum-Brum-New Name-Ideas?
-The consensus seems to be that the new publication will be called Birmingham Black Star.
With regard articles for the publication can anyone whose written anything either put it up on the midlands forum of libcom or bring it along to the next meeting, it would be nice if BBS could be a little more punctual and regular than its often emaciated predecessor.


-Posters-designs-content etc
-We’re looking to produce some anti-fascist posters, maybe a ‘naming and shaming’ of far-right council candidates, something highlighting the similarities between the BNP and Islamic Fundamentalism and some general good anti-fascist propaganda in the run up to the council elections.


-Stalls
-Look for sympathetic bands to see if they’d allow us to set up a stall at any local gigs. There’s to be a WMA stall at the Stop the War event at Birmingham Uni on the 18th Feb.


-Anti-recruitment leafleting
-The article is to be edited and turned into a pamphlet. Also an idea to create a list of jobs that pay the same as the army (the average British soldier in Iraq is reportedly on around £13,000 a year) and don’t involve killing/being killed for the benefit of the rich and powerful.


-Crane & Cast Ltd, dismissals
-The idea is to put out a letter of solidarity with the sacked, workers supporting any action they chose to take against Crane & Cast. However finding a contact address is proving difficult and the union in question has so far proved unhelpful, any details would be greatly appreciated.

Next meeting, same place, 7pm, Friday 24/02/06. If your interested in attending please contact us at  wmanarchists@email.com
