Combatting the BNP in London, Cock Tavern, Euston, 22 September, 7.30pm
Start: 7:30 pm
End: 9:30 pm

Monday 22nd Sept - 7.30pm
Cock Tavern
23 Phoenix Road
Camden
NW1 1HB
(nearest tube: Euston Station)

The BNP are standing 2 candidates in local by-elections (Camden - 25 Sept, and Haringey - 9 Oct) in the near future. This escalation in their activities in central London shows a disturbing trend both in their growing political confidence but also in the fact that can go about their business unhindered.

The question is should there be a co-ordinated London response to this situation, and if so what form does that response take?

Spirit of Broadway Market, Evicted. Support needed Saturday 27th September 2008, 11am
Start: 11:00 am
End: 3:00 pm

Today Spirit lost his court case and will be evicted by a Bhamanian-based property speculator that Hackney Council sold the lease of his shop to for less than he was willing to pay for it himself.

After years of working like a dog to pay off the extortionate rent they have been demanding, Spirit is (as I write) emptying the shop of his produce, for the sake of £7,000 legal costs that the magistrate refused to let him repay in instalments; while around him the gentrified pubs and art galleries spill onto the street carousing as if tomorrow belongs to them (and only them) ...

"Hackney Isn't Crap" LCAP Gentrification Tour, 28 September, meet Dalston Peace Mural
Start: 1:00 pm
End: 4:00 pm

Jules Pipe (Mayor of Hackney) said that if you opposed developments like the Dalston Square then you were part of a 'keep Hackney crap mentality'. But Hackney isn't crap. Not even close. It doesn't need property speculators to make it a nice place. Don't take our word for it - come and see for yourself.

On Sunday 28 September we will host a walking tour of Gentrification in Dalston and Hackney central, culminating in a picnic in London Fields.

Demonstrate with tube cleaners! 10am, City Hall, Wednesday 15 October 2008
Start: 10:00 am
End: 11:00 am

The Mayor is the chair of Transport for London. At Mayor's Questions in July, he smugly promised that Metronet cleaners would receive a living wage by August. Not only did this not happen until two months later (and then patchily), but even while he was announcing it, racist immigration laws were being used to clamp down on union activists and members.

Demonstrate against the sacking of militant Shop Steward Andy Littlechild! 1pm, 15 October 2008, Holborn
Start: 1:00 pm
End: 2:00 pm

Andy, a track worker at Metronet has been a rep for over 12 years. He is known for his complete dedication to the health, safety and welfare of all workers; Metronet employees and agency staff alike. He was instrumental in the RMT's recent successful campaigns in September last year which stopped management from devaluing Metronet staff's pensions by 10% and halted mass job cuts, and in April this year opened up the Transport for London pension scheme, free travel on TfL and subsidised travel on Network Rail to new starters, all previously denied to them by Metronet.

Support Schroders Office Cleaners demo, 17 October 2008, 1pm
Start: 5:00 pm
End: 6:30 pm

Schroders - a global asset management company
Schroders is a global asset management company with £130.2 billion (EUR 164.4 billion / $259.1 billion) under management as at 30 June 2008.

And is paying the cleaners only £6 an hour.

The cleaners have been trying to get a pay rise for over 12 months, and for all this period our management (Lancaster Cleaning Company) have kept promising an increase and on three occasions evaded a cleaners' demonstration in front of Schroders head quarter based on their promises.

As capitalism collapses around us in the market of ideas the anarchist pound is bouyant and the 27th Anarchist Bookfair is back at Queen Mary College in London’s East End.
