4) PRE-ORDER THE PALESTINE SONG!
Support the "Freedom for Palestine" single by pre-ordering it today!
Download it right now for £1.29 from iTunes (http://tinyurl.com/3bbp4g8or) or HMV digital (http://tinyurl.com/5u3t227). Features singers Maxi Jazz (Faithless), Dave Randall (Slovo/Faithless), LSK, the Durban Gospel Choir, Jamie Catt (1 Giant Leap) and musicians from around the world. Official release date is 03 July, but it needs radio airplay before that, especially on the BBC that has already censored lyrics that feature the word "Palestine", so phone your local radio station and get them to play it! It's a HUGE campaign: be part of it - http://www.waronwant.org/freedomoneworld/
5) BIN VEOLIA!
Veolia, the French conglomerate that is bidding for a stake in our borough's fuel-from-waste services (which is a massive multimillion pound, up-to-35 year contract) is the focus of a long-running international campaign to curb its activities due to its well-documented involvement in Israeli apartheid practices daily damaging thousands of Palestinians' lives in the West Bank and Jerusalem. We don't want Veolia anywhere near our borough! If you are as concerned as us, contact Lorty Philips (novag@hotmail.co.uk) to join the North London wide No2VeoliaActionGroup campaign. Please volunteer for our Waltham Forest's local "No2Veolia" working group by emailing us (wfpsc@yahoo.com) and finally, sign this petition: http://www.change.org/petitions/say-no-to-veolia-in-north-london
6) THIS RAMADAN - DON'T BUY THE WRONG PALM DATES!
This Ramadan, which takes place in August, make sure your friends and family are eating ethical palm dates. Whatever you do, don't help Israeli apartheid against the Palestinians! So, read the 'country of origin' label on the box. If it says ANY of the following, it's trouble: "West Bank" "Israel" "Jordan Valley", and it will be contributing to the oppression and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. If none of the hundreds of other international palm dates available catch your fancy, buy real Palestinian dates produced by Zaytoun and distributed locally through us at WFPSC - wfpsc@yahoo.com.
