The English Collective of Prostitutes is a network of women, Black/of colour and white, of different nationalities and backgrounds working at various levels of the sex industry. We campaign for the abolition of the prostitution laws which punish women for refusing to be poor and/or financially dependent on men; for human, legal, economic and civil rights for prostitute women; and for higher benefits, student grants, wages, housing and other resources so that no women is forced by poverty into sex with anyone.

We offer support/help and information to prostitute women on a wide range of issues including the prostitution laws, police illegality and racism, child custody, health and benefits etc. In 1982 we initiated Legal Action for Women (LAW), a grassroots legal service for all women.

We oppose legalization - police/government controls of prostitutes: Women, not the State, must control bodies and our money.

To link local/regional groups opposed to the Criminal Justice Act and keep information on actions and significant events flowing. The Network is made up of 80+ independent local groups who are trying to wake their communities up to the dangers of the Act. The Network also includes special interst groups which are being specifically targeted by the CJA ie squatters, travellers, free-party organisers, hunt sabs, road protesters etc.

The general aims of the Network are diverse and vary from group to group but overall, the idea is: to empower, to help save a dying democracy and to make people realise that they can be part of the solution by standing up for what they believe in. Most groups are united by a common appreciation that non-violent direct action is a vital key to reclaiming our democratic voice. Above all, many people in the anti-CJA campaign have learned that protest and politics can be fun. Let’s try and keep it that way!

RESOURCES: Most Network groups are in the usual shoestring situation. Most useful for putting people in touch with like-minded people in their own area and as a referral service. London office has large contacts book full of on-the-case individuals and organisations, a fax. PC. loads of info and an empty piggy bank.

Using a range of non-aggressive interventionist and diversionary tactics, hunt saboteurs save the lives of thousands of hunted creatures every year.

AIMS:

Liberty believes in a society built upon the democratic participation of all its members and based upon the principles of justice, openness, the right to dissent and respect for diversity. Accordingly, we aim to secure the equal rights and liberties of every one, individuals and groups, insofar as they do not infringe the rights and liberties of others, and oppose any abuse or excessive use of power by the state against its people. We also recognise that the erosion of civil liberties often begins with attacks on the rights of those who are marginalised within society - such attacks undermine the rights of us all.

As a pressure group we work to protect and extend human rights and civil liberties by campaigning at local and national level. There are local and student Liberty groups in many parts of the country. Our legal team pursues test cases through the British and European courts. We co-ordinate a network of volunteer solicitors. We provide free written information about rights issues. We lobby parliament, providing facts, figures and briefings for MPs, giving evidence to government enquiries and select committees and draft amendments to proposals and parliamentary bills. We act as a watchdog, analysing and commenting on the implications of proposed changes to legislation, and alerting the public and the media to any dangers and threats. We research and publish reports on a wide range of human rights issues and have an extensive civil liberties library used by journalists, researchers and members of the public.

Liberty is currently running a public order monitoring project to monitor the use of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act (1994). If you are arrested, stopped, evicted, turned back, have your home or equipment seized, or are in any other way effected by the Act, please write and tell us. If you would like more information on the project please let us know.

We do not receive, nor would we accept, any funding from central government. Our main source of income is members subscriptions, we also receive money in the form of grants for projects, donations and income from sale of publications.

AIMS:

To preserve the ‘green lung’ of Leyton and Walthamstow marshes and maintain people’s rights to full and free open access over the whole of these former Lammas Lands (common pasture/meadowland).

The Lammas meadows of Leyton and Walthamstow were given to the people of the two parishes earlier this century in exchange for their rights of common grazing. Since then, they have come under the administration of a quango called the ‘Lea Valley Regional Park Authority’ whose first act was to attempt to dig the marshes up for gravel extraction! The NLLDC was formed to oppose the continuing encroachment of ‘leisure facilities’ (such as livery stabling, car-parks, cinemas) onto our open land. We use many campaigning techniques, including lobbying councillors, letter-writing and occasionally direct action. We also organise picnics, walks and occasional festivals on the marshes to encourage people to use and enjoy them and to join us in campaigning for their preservation. We are allied with No New Lea Valley Roads Campaign.

INTERESTS: Access rights to open spaces. Protection of environmentally-sensitive areas.

To stop the extension of the M11 into East London, by non-violent direct action and all kinds of campaigning.

The building of the road will encourage yet more traffic, 1000 people will lose their homes, there will be a barrier like the Berlin Wall through our community and resources will be wasted that could be better used on providing public transport. Our campaign started by opposing the road at the 1989 public inquiry and direct action got going in 1993. The Chestnut tree on George Green and the Wanstonia and Claremont Road eviction were highlights of the campaign, which is still active.

AIMS:

1. To stop a major road being built up the Lea Valley to serve as an “Eastern By-Pass” for the M25 orbital motorway. To oppose Waltham Forest Council’s proposals for a “Relief Road” from Stratford to Walthamstow to bypass Leyton.

In the late 1960’s two options were offered by the department of Transport for the M11 motorway extension; one through the Roding Valley and Leytonstone to Hackney Wick, and the other through the Lea Valley. The present M11 Link Road route was chosen because it was cheaper, but the alternative - connecting Blackwall Tunnel and Stratford to the M25 - was kept open as an option for the future. A motorway by stealth is now being imposed on the valley. Most of the Lea Valley route is already in place (the A1055 North-South Route).

Despite the scheme’s rejection following a recent lengthy Public Inquiry, Waltham Forest Borough Council continue to promote the construction of the “Leyton Relief Road”. This would complete the route except for a 1.5 mile gap on Walthamstow Marshes, which are a designated Nature Reserve, containing a Bird Sanctuary and two SSSI’s. The NNLVRC is an umbrella for a number of local interest groups - including the Southern Lea Valley Federation, Residents against Traffic, Lammas Lands Defence Committee, Friends of the Earth and the No M11 Link Road Campaign - all of which are opposed to motorway construction in the Lea Valley.

AIMS:

To encourage communities to take direct action in reclaiming their streets from the domination of the car and the vested interests they serve.
To promote and effect the use of the streets to that of the needs of cyclists and pedestrians.

R.T.S. is a pro-active group, instead of reacting to the government agenda we aim to force them to react to ours. By moving the debate away from anti-roads into anti-car we hope to generate public awareness of the wider questions behind the road issue. At present urban planning is biased towards the accommodation of the car rather than that of the people who live in an area. Our aims are to show positive alternatives to present street use and turn them into places where communities have the right to self determination so that we can be responsible for our own resources and environment. Examples of actions would include street parties, painting cycle lanes, visiting car shows and editing car posters.

INTERESTS: To be part of the anti-CJA network offering solidarity and support for groups working against it. To act as a London contact point for the Earth First! movement.

RESOURCES: Offer help and advice in setting up regional RTS groups. Can act as a networking point for EF and anti-CJA actions.

The Wilderness is a voluntary organisation whose aim is to promote the cause of wild, unmanaged nature by:- Buying land and allowing it to regenerate naturally.
:- Lobbying landowners and those with control over land to give that which they don’t actually need back to nature.
:- Educating people about the need for truly wild places for our own benefit, and for their own inherent value.
:- Actively campaigning against those individuals and organisations who destroy the wild to satisfy their greed.

‘A wilderness is a place of contrast, where our own rules and values for living can be challenged, where we can learn something about humility and the inventive resilience of unmanaged nature.’ - Richard Mabey
