Next Hackney Heckler is due out early May so deadline for articles, contact information etc is Tuesday April 13th. Hackney Heckler is Hackney's only independent newspaper with all the articles written by those who are doing the campaigning they are writing about, instead of employed journalists, and distributed,again, by those ordinary local people through street, door to door and cafe outlets. We employ no journalists, take no commerical advertising and receive no funding from outside Hackney. We will have a print run of 5K or 6K for this issue.

Apologies for short notice -- we have only just heard that about these huge cuts to nursery budgets in Hackney, and we want to mobilise people to help try and save them, so we are organising an emergency public meeting THIS THURSDAY 22ND APRIL 6:30 P.M. -- further details below. It is outrageous that Hackney Council/The Learning Trust should think that they can get away with attacking services to women and working-class people in this way, and just before the election. | ||
