Even now, Haiti is still in the grip of its recovery from their earthquake with the cholera outbreak and the political tussling. For the moment we move our eyes to Pakistan who were hit by devastating floods in the summer. An estimated 1,600 people died. More people will die if the right aid and shelter is not brought to them. The campaign to get the necessities for the people of Pakistan to recover from this disaster continues.<br /><br />&<br /><br />Coalition Of Resistance<br />http://www.coalitionofresistance.org.uk/<br />There are many conflicting views on the recent ConDem spending review. Our view is that the cuts being made to public services and the welfare state are detriment to the living standards of the working class of this country. Such reactionary methods of the slashing of funds to this countries poor and poorest only look to benefit the upper classes who will ensure their strangle hold on the working class is tighter than ever. Positive Action support Coalition Of Resistance who are providing the umbrella network to fight the Coalition government. Their aim, to instigate a united national campaign against cuts and privatisation in our workplaces, community and welfare services. It started with the students, now we must also use our voice...

Haiti is at square one and despite the encouraging and unprecedented amount of money and aid that has been pledged from around the world sadly the people are soon forgotten. As is the case after many disasters the months that follow are crucial but the months after that are do or die to putting the area and society back on track. Most money goes into food and immediate aid but after this we tend to forget the hundreds of schools, jobs, homes and general infrastructure that has disappeared, needs to be rebuilt, and if removed from our society would see us at tenterhooks to hold on to the day to day lives we hold so dear.<br /><br />Positive action stands in solidarity with the Haitian people and puts on this show to aid in keeping the publics awareness at a level above that provided by the country’s media. <br /><br />We are also putting on this event to highlight and support the exposing of the oppression the Haitian working class has suffered pre and post quake, a fact that has been created and covered up by the West’s imperialist forces. It would be immoral and insensitive to use the disaster to highlight an argument against capitalism and imperialism, fact is this is not a newfound view in its infancy, its an argument that began before many of us were born and its effects have been felt for decades. It’s the reason this country was so inadequately equipped for such a disaster. Money and support for anti-left leaders has been pumped into the country from the US since the 1950’s in a bid to counter support for nearby Castro led Cuba. Since then the US has had a major influence on who holds power in the country and has played a big part in the gradual shift of the poor into the 3rd world housing of the Port-au-prince, the area most badly hit by the quake. The US with all their power and money invested in this country turned a blind eye to an area beyond repair, where its streets and thousands upon thousands of poverty-ridden residents were in dire need of support. Its only now with the country stricken by disaster that the worlds eyes are open and upon Haiti that the US acts as the White Knight when all along they were more like the pillaging Viking hordes.<br /><br />We mentioned before it was perhaps immoral and insensitive to point out a political argument in the aftermath of the quake, but what is it then that the imperialist powers that be (The US) are using the disaster as an opportunity to once again re-establish their footing in this ravaged country, why else would you donate a billion dollars but yet still hold the country to a debt that equals to much more than this. The Obama administration still disallows the Haitians popular left wing political party the Lavalas Family and their estranged leader Jean-Bertrand Aristide from running for parliament. In 2004 Aristide was extradited from Haiti in the form of a rebellion (weapons and support supplied by our old friend Mr Bush) the result of a smear campaign against him created by the US part, this was caused by Aristide’s desire to re-distribute the profits from the privatization of enterprises (an idea pushed by the US on to Haiti) to the Haitian people. Surely Mr. Obama, you know the guy who likes change and democracy and all that jazz, could have some sway in letting the first democratically elected leader of Haiti and one that in only December thousands of people marched the streets of Port-au-prince in support of back to the people whom he has vowed to bring back from the brink.<br /><br />The events go far beyond what we can fit in this leaflet, all we can do is direct you to the truth and ask you to show your support not just now, for the Haitian’s homeless, ill, missing, and poor in the wake of this terrible disaster, but for the future of Haiti’s working class who may have to struggle against US and UN occupation and influence for years to come.<br /><br /><br />For those asking wanting to know why we havent done anything for Chile, apart from the obvious in that we had this planned a long time ago and would never take back a pledged benefit because something else happened in the mean time the disastors emergency commitee who we are donating has this press release that explains the situation in Chile and why they will not be sending help there.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.dec.org.uk/item/428">http://www.dec.org.uk/item/428</a><br />Also the disastors emergency commitee who we always give to on these terrible events put out this press release which may help:<br /><br />http://www.dec.org.uk/item/428Positive Actionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18061616743630640954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085833246618180372.post-37419905455671576742009-11-23T14:12:00.000-08:002009-11-23T14:14:52.978-08:00Live footage of Vile Vile Creatures, Bitches & Trash Kit from Positive Action 2Trash Kit<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ME8onpMJHP8&hl=en_GB&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ME8onpMJHP8&hl=en_GB&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />Bitches<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/H4yhnHijcBY&hl=en_GB&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/H4yhnHijcBY&hl=en_GB&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />Vile Vile Creatures<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/S4HsVuDOtzQ&hl=en_GB&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/S4HsVuDOtzQ&hl=en_GB&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Positive Actionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18061616743630640954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085833246618180372.post-82557258172797044862009-11-23T14:05:00.000-08:002009-11-23T14:08:52.512-08:00Women of U-turn photography exhibition at The VictoriaThe women of u-turn currently have an exhibition of their photography up in the victoria please go down and have a look, each print is the original and one off at a cost of £65 each.<br />The exhibition will be up until the end of december.Positive Actionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18061616743630640954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085833246618180372.post-75413070421356300052009-11-23T14:03:00.000-08:002009-11-23T14:05:18.408-08:00Positive Action raises £200 for U-turnThank you to all those came to the show saturday night. It was an extremely fun and interesting evening.<br /><br />Not only did we watch 3 of the most exciting bands from around the UK we also had two amazing poets who showed us how powerful words can be without music.<br /><br />Positive Action raised £200 for U-Turn. This coupled with the huge cheque The Victoria gave U-Turn, the sum of £375, we have made a substantial contribution to a local cause that we should all take notice of and support.<br /><br />Positive Action will be holding our next meeting shortlyos. Date, time and location will be confirmed very soon.<br /><br />The agenda will most likely be, our next Benefit, our search for an "in house" soundman and locations for future shows.<br /><br />We want to break out and hold benefits and hopefully in the future, free shows at more than one location in London.<br /><br />Your input is important to us. We are a collective. A hive. Any contributions are fully welcomed.<br /><br />Anyone is welcome.

In attendence we were honoured to welcome a past positive force member, Erin and a spokesperson for u-turn Niki Stevens.<br /><br />Niki gave us a great insight into the day to day work u-turn do for the women of east london who have found themselves in the vicious cycle of prostitution. What we learnt was that despite the desperation of some of these womens situations, and the fact that many may never leave prostitution, is that by just getting rid of the social stigma attached to them and breaking down how we have been taught to percieve these women and by offering them a chance to get away from their lives even for an hour can make more than a little difference. <br /><br />We arnt just talking donating money. U-turn are constantly looking for volunteers in many sectors, even if its just for a day. You could be an artist, a musician, a writer, a cook, fashion designer anything, if you just offered your services for a day or two, whereby you come in and teach them some of your skills this could give someone more confidence and hope than you could ever imagine.<br /><br />On the night we will be displaying photography and selling poetry books all done by the women who are helped by u-turn. The night will also offer the opportunity to read more about what u-turn do and put your name down to help them out.<br /><br />Heres the flyer for Saturday:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-XxhbIY-YT1t5WDmubNAckReJm5IrH2TQSE6tiM4wNxuQqj952GcXkq2y-Sl-mmhXjCW_l3SGIwPp4cInMb-5u-czOVEfP1jN0YNNXrQI16DVbFx1NS0rMdPUU_NW8vXTuF3raP9vYDMn/s1600/11161_328555455382_602225382_9634053_3440571_n.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 222px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-XxhbIY-YT1t5WDmubNAckReJm5IrH2TQSE6tiM4wNxuQqj952GcXkq2y-Sl-mmhXjCW_l3SGIwPp4cInMb-5u-czOVEfP1jN0YNNXrQI16DVbFx1NS0rMdPUU_NW8vXTuF3raP9vYDMn/s320/11161_328555455382_602225382_9634053_3440571_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404788033792641458" /></a>Positive Actionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18061616743630640954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085833246618180372.post-44419227156733547252009-11-08T15:05:00.000-08:002009-11-08T15:09:43.155-08:00Next Positive Action meeting Tuesday 10th NovemberThe next Positive Action meeting will be this Tuesday 10th November at the victoria, grove road, mile end.<br /><br />All are welcome.<br /><br />Begins 7.30pm<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKmV-a71jpx8hJ_KzPQPDtOU_zmzHH4jjXb06pUER_3LvlNEmES9ya7fSXBzJooq5z4RtcnFSwsrelrrDcj0osEaOTLDqRUZQVtweZAbhFjJqu4keApOp3lWpsUAChbemVUBUTLQKhDobZ/s1600-h/French_Revolution_Serment_du_jeu_de_paume_Tennis_Court_Oath.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 236px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKmV-a71jpx8hJ_KzPQPDtOU_zmzHH4jjXb06pUER_3LvlNEmES9ya7fSXBzJooq5z4RtcnFSwsrelrrDcj0osEaOTLDqRUZQVtweZAbhFjJqu4keApOp3lWpsUAChbemVUBUTLQKhDobZ/s320/French_Revolution_Serment_du_jeu_de_paume_Tennis_Court_Oath.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401873785716724594" /></a>Positive Actionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18061616743630640954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085833246618180372.post-39999233379060193152009-10-12T08:54:00.000-07:002009-10-12T08:55:20.677-07:00Positive Force DocumentoryI think you will find this as inspirational and informal as we did:<br /><br /><embed id=VideoPlayback src=http://video.google.co.uk/googleplayer.swf?docid=-2145407353824084717&hl=en&fs=true style=width:400px;height:326px allowFullScreen=true allowScriptAccess=always type=application/x-shockwave-flash> </embed>Positive Actionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18061616743630640954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085833246618180372.post-54549334331245700482009-09-28T12:23:00.000-07:002009-09-28T15:17:23.699-07:00Positive Action Part 1 a successSaturday night was a great success thankyou to all that came down, helped, enjoyed the bands and contributed to Shelter.<br /><br />Overall we raised £235 which is a brilliant start.

All in all every bit of exposure and aid this charity recieves makes a difference.<br /><br />In London despite the fact many try to ignore it, homelessness is still one of the most visible problems London faces. In one of the richest countries in the world where many families own two cars and whilst the majority of Britain’s bourgeoisie property obsessed own two cars and two houses own two houses this kind of problem is unacceptable at this level.<br /><br />The problem should not be ignored. The charities should be commended and supported on their mission to help the homeless. And push the government to put more resources into providing shelter for these people.<br /><br />Heres a little bit about shelter taken from their website:<br />Shelter was founded in England in 1966 by the Reverend Bruce Kenrick, who was horrified by the state of the tenements round his Notting Hill parish. The setting up of the organisation in Scotland followed in 1968.<br /><br />Since Shelter's foundation, our country has undergone a long period of affluence and economic growth - but complacency allowed housing to slip down the public and political agendas.<br /><br />More than four decades of constant lobbying have pressured our government into making some key changes to policy and legislation, and Shelter has celebrated some landmark achievements in recent years.<br /><br />In 2008, there is a seemingly unbridgeable gulf between the housing haves and have-nots. Housing is now the key factor determining a person's health, wellbeing, and prospects in life.<br />If you can't afford to buy, and can't get a council house, renting privately may be your only option. But this is often unaffordable to people on low incomes.<br />The slums of the 1960s are gone, but the housing crisis still exists. Shelter has achieved great things in its history, but our work won't stop until everyone in Britain can access a decent, affordable home.<br />For information please visit:<br />www.shelter.org.ukPositive Actionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18061616743630640954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085833246618180372.post-90841962476313393882009-09-21T14:25:00.000-07:002009-09-21T14:37:58.294-07:00The Beginning...Hello all and welcome to Positive Action.<br />Our reasons for starting, our aims and objectives are all to the right -----><br />Let us begin by saying we are very eager and excited to welcome and search for people who believe in our aims to come join us, help us and continue what we have began.
