NOVANEWS
1 CITYWIDE HUSTINGS MEETING 7p.m. THURSDAY 22 APRIL
This is your opportunity to put your concerns about human rights to Birmingham candidates for Parliament and for Birmingham City Council. The meeting has been organized by Human Rights For All, a cross-Birmingham group comprising a number of organisations concerned with human rights.
We would like our prospective candidates to commit themselves to resolving the Palestinian issue as a matter of priority. British foreign policy encourages human rights violations; in particular, Britain continues to support the Zio=Nazi regime in ‘Israel’ when it should be using its influence in the international community top ensure that the Zionist state complies with its international obligations.
Venue: Carrs Lane Church Centre, Carrs Lane, Birmingham B4 7SX.
2 HUMAN RIGHTS FOR ALL – WHAT YOU CAN DO
This is what the group would like you to do:
i) write to your candidates about your concerns on human rights*
ii) send any responses to the group
(humanrightsbirmingh am@yahoo. co.uk) so that these can be publicised
iii) assist the group on street stalls planned for the election
campaign
iv) write to your candidates asking them to come to the hustings meetings
As you will have read in the previous newsletter, PSC national has an election campaigning tool at http://iparl. com/election- psc which you can use to identify your Parliamentary candidates and obtain a model letter/e-mail text. This sets out PSC’s six election pledges to which candidates are asked to commit – there is a briefing note on these on the site. If you wish, PSC national office will forward the e-mail to candidates on your behalf.
