Nottingham Solidarity Network

The Nottingham Solidarity Network will be forming soon! We are currently a group of community activists in the Forest Fields and Hyson Green area who want to form a network of local groups across the city. The aim of this network would be to support each other and show solidarity with one another. We are committed to local community ownership of our own resources, where people genuinely take back decision making for themselves. We have no party political agenda or time for the authorities.

There will be a meeting to decide how the network will take shape at the Sumac Centre on Tue 21st Dec, 7pm: http://nottingham.tachanka.org/events/815

Come and join us in taking back our lives!

Have you had enough?

Fed up of politicians making us pay for their mistakes?

Tired of being told what we can and can’t do in our communities?

So are we.

The cuts the government are forcing through are the biggest threat to our way of life at the moment. None of the political parties want to take responsibility. They are stealing our public services, jobs and welfare to pay for their crisis.

Nottingham Solidarity Network is being set up by people who think that we know best about how to run our own lives – not the Council or the government. We think that the people who live in our neighbourhoods can make the best decisions about how they should be run.

It’s not enough to get angry on your own – we need to act together if we want to make things happen. By showing solidarity with each other we can fight bigger enemies than we can alone.

NSN wants to help campaigns and individuals get together to support each other and take action. We think it’s time the politicians and bosses listened to us!

We are not another political group with its own agenda. We are residents of Nottingham who are independent of the political parties. We think local people deserve much better than self-serving politicians.

We are hoping to organise a meeting in Forest Fields soon where the voices of local people will be heard. This will be an opportunity for us to find ways of working together and start dealing with the problems we face.

If you want to join other people to fight the cuts and take back our lives then get in touch. You can contact us at nsn[at]riseup[dot]net.
