Review of 2010

Have been looking at the old posts from this website over the New Year's holiday. And, though I say so myself, I do think we have done an impressive amount in 2010. Highlights are:

  • We've organised a film showing of Beating the Bomb, a history of the peace movement made my local activists. After it's premiere in Leicester Square time out described the film as "solid and celebratory ... this is stiring stuff"

  • We've organised a general election hustings

  • Organised a meeting giving an eye witness account from Afghanistan featuring Guy Smallman, a local photo journalist

  • We've had stalls and leafletting sessions in every major high street, at the Lambeth Country Show, at the Urban Green Fair, at the Acoustic Insurgency gigs and in the Ritzy when John Pilger premiered his film, The War You Don't See

  • Helped advertise national protests regarding Blair's appearance at the Chilcott inquiry, Israel's attack on the aid convoy to Gaza and the continuing war in Afganistan

  • And so frightened Tony Blair he had to cancel his book signing, twice!

    There's lots more happening in 2011. Blair will be appearing in front of Chilcott again sometime in early 2011, there will be a national conference on Islamaphobia in March and our 10th birthday "celebrations" in September. And there's always work to do to ensure the majority of the population who oppose the Afghanistan war stop screaming at the television and start taking to the streets.
