Who we are

We are a group of local people who want to get rid of the current system which places profit and power before people’s real needs. To do this, we believe we all need to get organised, fight back and take over the decision-making in communities and workplaces. We support and participate in local campaigns, spread ideas and help create effective opposition to the powers that be.

Get involved

Come along to our monthly meetings, held on the first Tuesday of each month at the Phoenix Millennium Centre, or check our events calendar for other events. Anyone who lives or works in Haringey is welcome.

Save Bull Lane Playing Fields!

The Weir Hall Action Group is stepping up its 20-year long campaign to save the Bull Lane Playing Fields on the Haringey/Enfield border near the new Sixth Form Centre in North Tottenham. They are supported by the Haringey Friends of Parks Forum and the Haringey Federation of Residents' Associations.

They are opposing Council plans to sell off some of the Council-owned green space for housing, and are developing their own community plan to manage the site for much needed sports and related activities. A decision is due to be made on September 16th.

Camp for Climate Action a huge success

Climate Camp Flying High

Many of us from Haringey participated in the Camp for Climate Action at Kingsnorth in Kent, 3-11 August. Following a 60 mile march/caravan from the site of last year's camp - Heathrow Airport - land near the Kingsnorth Power Station was seized for a week long event attended by 1500-2000 people. The idea was to resist government plans to expand coal-fired energy production in the light of coal's disastrous contribution to greenhouse gases and climate change.

It was an incredible week of discussions (over 200 workshops), collective sustainable living, fun for all ages, protests and direct action.

 On Saturday August 9th, despite repressive policing, a thousand people marched to block the main gates of the power station, many others scaled fences and got round the back of the plant via canoes and boats. There were also banners hung from pylons, blockades of agro-fuels depots, and other protests and direct action at significant climate-polluting sites around the South east of England.

On Saturday 19th July, 500 residents, market traders, local shopkeepers, campaigners and passers-by formed a human chain around the whole Wards Corner block by Seven Sisters tube in order to say No to evictions, No to demolition, and YES to restoration as set out in the Community Plan created by local people.

Following the protest, the private developers pulled out of the planning hearing scheduled to rule on their application at the Civic Centre on Thursday July 24th. This has been seen by campaigners as a great victory for people power.

Thanks to everyone who came along to Haringey Independence Day in April (over 200 people). It was a really useful start to building links between activist groups all round Haringey and improving our effectiveness.

We are having an initial planning meeting to discuss the idea of a similar event in 2009, on Wednesday 24 September, 7.30pm, upstairs at the Phoenix Millennium Centre, West Green Road, N15 (entrance on Vincent Road).

For a report of last year's event, go to the Independence Day website.
