Calling out to all activists and legal observers – information about the Dale Farm eviction this week

Posted on September 17, 2011 by dalefarmsupport

Calling out to all activists and legal observers – information about the Dale Farm eviction this week – Please forward this around your networks ASAP thanks!

Today, we are witnessing a new civil rights movement for Travellers. What’s happening to us at Dale Farm will never happen again. Monday 19th, they will try to bulldoze Dale Farm and we strongly recommend getting here ahead of the eviction as it is likely to start at 8 am.  We will also need people to come up throughout the week of the eviction.

If you can’t make it you can support in another way, we are in desperate need of funds. Please donate!

Dale farm residents are calling on supporters to come to Dale Farm to help them stop the eviction or act as human rights monitors. 

Activists are supporting the Travellers in defending their homes and community.  There’s many different ways of getting involved – we need medics, legal observers, site defenders, cooks, etc.. More people are needed on all fronts.

Please sign up for txt alerts in case urgent information needs to get relayed or follow us on twitter.  You can send information to the legal hotline 07928669515
