"Over December I spent a month out in Palestine working with International Solidarity Movement, an organisation with the basic aim of helping support Palestinians with their non-violent resistance to the illegal occupation. Whilst resistance in Britain can largely be seen in terms of protests and demonstrations, simply living in Palestine is a form of resistance and the main aim of my work was to help Palestinians in their daily lives. It is difficult to give a summary of my time out there so check out Palestine Solidarity Campaign and my blog.

Young Greens hit Green Party stronghold, Norwich!

Young Greens will be having their bi-monthly meeting in Norwich this time around, where Adrian Ramsay became the first Young Green councillor in 2003 at the age of 21. Adrian was joined by two more Young Green Norwich councillors, Steve Altman and Tom Llewellyn, in May 2006. Norwich Green Party has an excellent reputation for electoral success with 9 city councillors and 2 county councillors. We will be doing our best to contribute to their efforts.

Anyone is welcome to come along for the weekend, just please let us know so we have an idea of numbers!
