INTERNATIONAL RED WHEELS AGAINST RACISM
In the Former British Empire!
With UNICEF ambassador Vanessa Redgrave on board, the RED WHEELS AGAINST RACISM campaign is going into top gear this week as a world appeal to stop Basildon council bulldozing Britain's biggest Gypsy settlement is launched in Italy.
At the same time, Dale Farm residents are to take part in the
European-wide Action Week Against Racism, raising banners and bunting on an arch at the gateway to their village.
An update on Basildon's plan to spent nearly five million Euro destroying 86 homes at Dale Farm, is being sent shortly by the International Alliance of Inhabitants to the UN through the Habitat Advisory Group on Forced Evictions, as a priority case.
Meanwhile, some 50,000 people in 40 countries around the globe are to be contacted by email with a request to sign the the petition. To date about 1,000 names have been collected.
"This petition simply asks Basildon council to leave our homes alone,"
says Dale Farm spokesman Richard Sheridan. "We want to end UK ethnic-cleansing once and for all."
