• Justice for the Jena 6!
   
  The lives of six young black men are being ruined by Jim Crow justice in Jena, Louisiana. The District Attorney has refused to protect the rights of Jena's Black population and has turned the police and courts into instruments of intimidation and oppression. We can help turn things around by making it a political liability for the authorities of Jena to continue the racist status quo, and by forcing the Governor of Louisiana to intervene. Today is only the first step. Please join us.
   
  
• William Morris Gallery under threat of closure
   
  Waltham Forest Council has approved cuts that will see a dramatic reduction in the opening hours of both the William Morris Gallery & Vestry House Museum from April 2007. The cuts include restructuring which means a loss of jobs and valuable expertise. It is likely that this lack of investment could lead swiftly to the closure of both. We urge people to contact Waltham Forest Council and MP's and make them aware of the benefits, value and importance of these facilities. For more details and a petition you can sign, see Keep our Museums Open.
