6 - National Climate March - Part of the Global Day of Climate Protest, the March will be crucial this year. Staged to happen halfway through the UN Climate Talks in Poznan it will be a really important chance to influence decision makers before the Copenhagen talks in 2009. Our long term aim is to build the demonstrations bigger, year on year, to reach a veritable tidal wave of global protest, pushing irresistibly for the effective and equitable all-inclusive emissions reductions treaty that the world so urgently needs.

6 - Fundraiser for The Cowley Club - Prof Al Canown - DJ, Unite and Devise - punk, Mesagana - reggae funk blues and folk fusion.
6 - Public meeting for Mumia Abu-Jamal - Mumia has been imprisoned on death row for a quarter of a century, convicted of a crime he did not commit. He was framed for the murder of a Philadelphia police officer because of his history of political activism and his record as a journalist who was not afraid to speak out for the oppressed. This case raises issues such as the death penalty, prisoners' rights, racism in the US, the role of the police, and many others. We hope for a lively and broad discussion.
7 - No Sweat Annual Gathering 2008 - Looking at issues around sweatshops and the exploitation of cheap foreign labour. Featuring Mark Thomas exposing the truth about Coca Cola, Garment Worker Activists From Bangladesh, World Development Movement on rigged trade rules and more.

The film follows Francome as he explores the case, and asks writers, musicians, academics, including Alice Walker, Noam Chomsky, Mos Def, Snoop Dogg and Steve Earle, about Mumia.
10 - On International Human Rights Day 2008, After 60 Years.. Why Human Rights? Public Meeting - On the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) creating a global framework for the protection of the rights of everyone, and in this climate of multiple crises, we invite you to consider: do we really have human rights? What\'s right and wrong with them? Can \'rights\' help us respond to the challenge of reconstructing society; so that justice, mutual respect and equality prevail? And if so, what concrete actions must we now take? Speakers include Professor AC Grayling (on Surveillance), Andy Worthington (author of the Guantanamo Files), Vivienne Westwood and others. Q&A with panelists, followed by discussion. Also, everyone is cordially invited to an informal pre-meeting from 3pm Room H102, Connaught House building (LSE, on Aldwych) to discuss background info, action proposals and any other issues of concern. Event organised by CAMPACC, the London Guantánamo Campaign, London Against Injustice and others.
