Community arts and creative activist collective The Mischief Makers have build a giant syringe in support of UNISON's march to 'Defend the NHS' on Saturday. The syringe will read 'Inject more into the NHS' and is made in an effort to show solidarity to NHS workers as well as acknowledging that the ongoing cuts in and privitisation of the National Health Service is something that should concern everyone. The Mischief Makers also hope to add a more creative element to Saturday's march and rally, organised by UNISON, UK's largest union. The march will start from 10.30am on the Forest Recreation Ground. Come along and show your support!

The world is on the point of ecological collapse: global temperature rise, species extinction, nuclear waste dumping, depletion of natural resources, deforestation, to name just a few problems. These will not be solved by governments (who make it worse by warring for the remaining resources), but by the people and communities working co-operatively..

Nottingham Stop the War Coalition is organising a Public Meeting entitled Time To Go!

There'll be a sales drive - sorry, "seminar" - at Nottingham University on 20th September to discuss "exciting research challenges and funding opportunities in the crime, security and defence area", at which many spooks and cops will be in attendance, as well as punters trying to jump on the security gravy train.
