Hi Mark,

I tried around half an hour later and it worked - you should have received
my details now.

I've no idea what that was about, I refreshed it several times before I
emailed you but it seems to be okay now!

*CLIMATE CHANGE AND MULTINATIONALS – A VIEW FROM THE GRASSROOTS IN COLOMBIA
*
   **

World leaders and activists are preparing to descend on Copenhagen to
discuss climate change, but have we fully understood its structural causes?
Colombian social movements argue that multinational oil and mining
corporations, especially BP and other British based companies, have
destroyed their environment, their human rights and social fabric. This
raises vital questions linking environmental justice with international
solidarity.

As Colombian communities struggle to defend their territories against
corporate plunder, what can be done to build links with those affected by
the seemingly unquenchable thirst for profit?  How can corporations like BP
be made accountable? And how do we connect our common concern to stop
climate disaster with the issue of the global North’s ecological debt to the
South?

   **

inception into social and political life 7 years ago. From this space, they
contribute to the construction of different political and organizational
processes with rural communities, neighbourhoods, student groups, women’s

human rights.

Alongside these movements COS-PACC work to defend their territory and the
enforceability of political, social, cultural and environmental rights of
the communities and the Colombian people.

Hi all

We have a Minolta EP1054 black ink photocopier that we no longer require.

The unit is reliable and sturdy, however will not collate or staple etc.

Two people would be required to come and pick it up as it is very heavy.

It will need to sit on a strong surface approx 3ft long.

Please email or call The St John's Centre on
stjohnscentre@... or 729603 if you are interested.

Thanks

Nicki Goodey
Co-ordinator
St John's Centre, part of

Progress on Community Allowance
-----------------------------------------------
Progress Is being made on running pilots for a Community Allowance, which would
see people on benefits undertaking work that strengthens their neighbourhood.
Pilots are proposed for Lincolnshire, Manchester and Portsmouth/Isle of Wight. A
report from New Economics Foundation also reckons that for every pound invested
in the Community Allowance, £10 worth of social value will be generated. See
Third Sector news item at http://www.thirdsector.co.uk/News/964628/,

What happened to Margaret Haywood was a scandal and this is very welcome . 
Using the pretext of 'confidentiality [which isn't much use if you're dead!] she
was struck of the register by the Nursing & Midwifery Council for exposing the
neglect and maltreatment of the elderly at our very own Royal Sussex County
Hospital.  Presumably the patients should have been asked if they wanted their
neglect to be recorded!  And no doubt the abusers should have been asked too!
It was this type of reaction which caused at least 2 people not to come forward
with suspicions over Harold Shipman, which led to the proposals by Dame Janet
Smith (now of the Court of Appeal) to strengthen the Public Disclosure
Information Act, one of New Labour's few radical measures.  Suffice to say the
recommendations have been shelved.

Hello Scippers

Here's a note about the next open forum Community Dialogue for Change are
running. All welcome.

Ian Lawton




Community Dialogue for Change (CDC)
- Invites you to the Continuing Dance of Dialogue -  a Facilitated Process.


*Date:             Tuesday 8th December 2009


*Venue        Methodist Church Dorset Gardens


*Time              6.30 pm – 9.30pm


  *Free               Donations welcome


Facilitators;      Anup Karia, Stanya Studentova, Olufemi Hughes




This is the last in this series of 4 on the theme `From Isolation to Community'
– (and related social /political issues of isolation, injustice, violence and
our shared community)

  In all 3 forums we've had deep conversations, some bringing momentary
connection and understanding, some reaching an edge that requires more
attention. We grapple with how do we speak about tough social issues that affect
us personally and the world around us? How do we take care of ourselves and
others in a passionate process? How to support all voices and challenge societal
injustices? How we can listen to each other and ourselves, holding the space for
a deeper understanding?

Real commitment to working together,whether in the rough or the smooth to find
ways through has been a hallmark of past forums.  We will continue to facilitate
to support and deepen the process of dialogue in the next forum and will also
offer time for us to explore ways we might come together to integrate some of
these processes in our lives.

CLIMATE JUSTICE NOW! speaker tour with Mohammed Shamsuddoha (Equity Bangladesh)
and Caroline Lucas (Green Party leader).

6:30pm, Friday 20th November 2009 at Community Base, Queen's Road, Brighton.

Extreme weather events, melting freshwater glaciers and increasing droughts are
hitting the world's poor first and hardest.

Yet it's the rich industrialised countries that have caused the climate crisis.

In the run-up to the UN climate negotiations in Copenhagen this December, rich
countries are trying to wriggle out of their responsibilities.

Come along to CLIMATE JUSTICE NOW! and hear speakers including Mohammed
Shamsuddoha from Equity Bangladesh and Caroline Lucas from the Green Party
explain what is needed to redress the `climate debt' that the rich countries owe
the global south.

By working together, we can make this happen. Come along, listen, contribute if
you like, and meet like-minded people. We'll be serving tea and home-made cake,
and there'll be a chance to find out more about various Brighton-based climate
change campaigning groups.

Climate Justice Now! is a coalition between Jubilee Debt Campaign, People &
Planet, Friends of the Earth and World Development Movement.

  More info at www.climatejusticenow.org.uk

Mark,
I think its at 7.
