Over 300 people came together in Nottingham today to voice their opposition against the city's gun crime and gang culture problems. The families of victims of violent crimes, such as the killing of Nathan Williams in the Meadows last year (read article) came together to call for 'Peace And Unity' and to put an 'End To The Killings'. A march started at the Forest Recreation Ground around midday and made its way to the city centre along Mansfield Road. The march was very loud and cheerful and attracted a lot of attention.

On arrival in the centre a rally started in the Market Square, with talks and speeches by members of families that have been affected by violent crime as well as people from various groups and organisations working on the issue. One of the speakers was Paula Platt, who lost her 14 year old daughter Danielle in 2004 as she walked through the St Anns area. Sarah Wallace, who lost her 20 year old son Daniel over a year ago in a stabbing in Radford, was also present and briefly spoke to us. All in all, it was a beautiful sight to see so many people coming together over this very important issue. Download the radio piece below (mp3 or ogg format) or listen to the stream.

So I made my way to the Sumac Centre last night, where some people from the southern region of Oaxaca in Mexico would be speaking. I'd read quite a few things about what is going on in Oaxaca in this last year. The Oaxacians are trying to get rid off their governer who, after a teacher strike last year, has come down very heavy handedly on any form of dissent in the region. The teacher strike marked the start of what was to become the biggest popular uprising the world has seen in the last 10 years orso, with many dissapearences and deaths still happening under the regime of Federal Police. So I read some stuff on Indymedia and know a couple of people that have visited Oaxaca in the past and were inspired by its community spirit (and food!). Apart from that, I was eager to learn more...
