Mon22Jan - LONDON CALLING - Leafleting

[Stefan]

There will be a leafleting mission on Monday the 22nd January to help promote Willie Rodriguez' latest tour.

We will meet at 6pm in the forecourt outside the Charing Cross rail station.

Those Londoners who feel frustrated at just sitting around on a forum can put their money where their mouths are and join us in making Mr Rodriguez' talk an even bigger success than it was already bound to be.

Those who have expressed worries about rain; bring an umbrella. The worse the weather is the more obvious it will be how committed and genuine we all are- it will work in our favour.

We will probably campaign for a couple of hours in small groups and then meet for drinks afterwards.

See you there!

We'll provide DVDs for this but I'm not sure I'll be able to make it down there til 7ish.

I'll check to see if Mr A can make it down with the DVDs in time.

Peace

Skeptic-
Cheers, that shouldn't be a problem- I don't imagine there would be two hours worth of leafleting time DVDs to give out anyway.

Will give all a buzz nearer the event to sort out logistics.

[Zabooka]

GIVE ME, as many leaflets as you possibly can!

In my spare time, I shall hit all the MAJOR Train/Tube stations with leafletting. Ill go on the tube and ....

I shall have some friends also with me hopefully, hopefully the very first members of my uelsu911truth student club/society. Ive done leafletting before, believe me Ive got the stamina for it all day and night!

Islamophobia – the new McCarthyism?
With Gary Younge (The Guardian), Louise Christian (lawyer for Guantanamo detainees), Craig Murray (former British ambassador to Uzbekistan), Noreen Fatima (National Union of Students – invited)

I hope to be at the leafleting, and if we have any leaflets left mebbe could go on to this with them...

Saturday 20th of January 2007
organised by Hizb ut-Tahrir (aka HT) Britain (honestly I am not a fan of them)

Convenes 10am at Paddington Green (Nearest Tube Edgware Road)
March to proceed down to Edgware Road to the US Embassy in Grosvenor Square.

I wouldn't mind going down there myself, if someone can supply me with leaflets. Would be good to convert people from the HT scene to our scene.

[Stefan]

Hey all, just thought I would bump this up to make sure everyone remembers.

We need to show our numbers and our commitment people. Any new members around London, this is a great chance to make the step from key board critic into activist, and should be a lot of fun as well.

Hi all, in terms of people wanting leaflets for the Rodriguez talk in London, in my failure to track one down I have just designed one myself.

I'm quite pleased with it as well!

I'm going to photocopy as many as I can for monday and the "clash of civilisations" thing as well, but if anyone wants the document to make their own copies, pm me an email I can send it to.

[Stefan]

The document has two leaflets on each page, to save everyones funds, and is to be printed duplex and cut into two and is black and white.

Front:



Back:



This is a print screen capture through photo bucket and so is low quality, the actual doc has no speckles , or those lines which have appeared near the bottom of the back page, or above WR's name on the front, or the dotted lines under the address.

It's just to give a general idea.

[Skeptic]

Afraid I'm not going to be able to make this as I've double booked myself like a dunce.

I did, however, burn 150 or so DVDs yesterday which I've given to Mr A to bring down and hand out.

Hope this goes well guys!

oh dear... made it down to Charing Cross but didn't find anyone! I thought people would be in the warm bit. Should have planned a bit better!

[Stefan]

Dr Jazz,
We were all there- at 6 o clock as planned- a group went to the islamaphobia conference, a group went to covent garden and one at charring cross. Sorry you missed us, but there will certainly be other opportunities. Not to sound like a nanny but six does mean six!

[tfayaz]

I apologise profusely for not being there.

[andyb]

Great work form those who attended last night, it certainly wasn't the warmest. We should try and do it next week if possible again as the following Monday is the day before Willie's talk and would be too late. Also, if you do see any meetings of any relevance happening then please do post the details and we can try and get a couple of people to each one.

[Annie]

Yes, well done to all who made it. It was freezing, but at least we had a chance to warm the cockles in the pub afterwards.

And a huge thank you to Stefan for organising it. Good work!

Andy's right, we need to do some more leafleting before next week, when the Rodriguez tour kicks off. I think Stefan and Belinda are planning some more events - the first is tomorrow night (Wednesday) I believe. Watch this space.

Regards

Annie

[andyb]

yep, there is a stop the war demo outside parliament tomorrow night. I'll be there, will Belinda have more leaflets?

[MadgeB]

Also v.sorry didn't make the leafleting, couldn't get out of work in Hackney in time. "Must try harder" next time...

Gorgeous George is doing a talk called 'Britain post Blair' (I think) at Middx Uni' Enfield campus the first week in February. I thought if anyone is in the Enfield/north London area and interested I'll post the exact details, might be an opportunity to leaflet and give out DVD's? (Word of warning GGG reneged on his last gig there blaming the traffic)

[tfayaz]

Next week sounds like a great plan, count me in!!

[DrJazzz]

[MadgeB]

"I bet Hackney is a good place to leaflet"..

Hackney maybe – but what about somewhere on the Docklands Light Railway, and so on an easy travelling route to the UEL Docklands campus site? How about Stratford station about 6pm when the commuters come streaming out of the station - what do you think, Zabooka? I could do that on Mon 29th Jan if anyone else can join me…

[SHERITON HOTEL]

[Zabooka]

The thing is ... George Galloway is avoiding my week and William Rodriguez. So I am a bit miffed about that and I dont want to let him get away with that so easily.

I would love for people to Leaflet about William Rodriguez at that Middlesex Uni Talk. Someone should ask him why it seems he has declined requests to be at my Week.

Tommmorrow, thats Friday 26th of February, I shall be at East London Mosque, to leaflet after Friday Prayers. Its the biggest Mosque in UK and its in East London.

Im going to be preparing for Monday and Tuesday, which will be Freshers Fair Day. On Monday we have a stall for UELSU911Truth at the Stratford Campus. On Tuesday we have a stall at Docklands. If anyone is free during the entire day, either Monday or Tuesday, your help and company would be more than welcome at the stall. No need to bring leaflets, unless you have surplus loads to get rid of, as I will be having separate leaflets for within University use. These separate new ones will have the entire Week Long programme on them, mainly for Students and Staff at UEL.

What would be useful for the stalls, would be DVDs, booklets, anything you want to give away or can sell.

Then from Wednesday to Friday, I shall just be campaigning locally and try to just make sure everythings ready for the week after. There is quite a lot of things I have to sort out. Its going to be such a hectic week.

Wish Me Well

Appologies in advance to the leafleting crew for tonight- I've injured my foot and wont be able to make it.

Best of luck to the troopers!
