We spent the month before the general election enthusiastically distributing the latest "anti-election" issue of our newsletter. With street stalls every weekend, tube station distributions and door-to-door delivery, we handed out all 5,000 copies of the Totally Indypendent in just over four weeks.

In fact we had so much fun that we completely forgot to post our reports on the website.  So below is a report from our stall on 1st May:

The threat to the Whittington A&E and five other hospitals in north London has outraged tens of thousands of people in all the boroughs affected. It is part of a bigger government plan to enforce cuts in all public services. Across the country, people are taking up the fight, resistance is growing against closures, privatisations and cuts - and in defence of local services that truly serve the community.

A new claimants' support group has been set in Haringey. Anyone who is claiming benefits (not just the unemployed) is welcome to come along to our meetings, held on the first Thursday of the month, at Phoenix Millennium Centre, West Green Road.

Benefits are a right 

– not a privilege! 

On Wednesday afternoon over 1,000 people, including a sizeable Haringey contingent, took over common land and set up the London Camp For Climate Action. Thousands more are expected to join in a week of discussions, collective sustainable living, fun for all ages, protests and direct action for a sustainable society. If you are coming from Haringey, join us on Thursday 27th August for the Haringey meet up.

A lot of us in HSG have been madly busy helping organise for Haringey Independence Day, which was on Saturday 30 May and was a day of "independence from party politics, religion and government agencies, where individuals and groups in Haringey can organise collectively, exchange ideas and make their own decisions that affect their lives".

A report will be going up on the Haringey Independence Day website soon.  But in the meantime, check out the report on London Indymedia.
