Freedom Network - INFORMATION/CONTACTS FOR PROJECTS DISSERTATIONS ETC
The following is a list of contacts who can supply information useful for research into the Criminal Justice Act, the campaign against it and what’s known as D.I.Y. (do it yourself) culture. Most of the groups are staffed by unpaid volunteers on non-existent budgets, so - if you do want information from them - please send the required money (if applicable) plus an extra donation if you can afford it. The best way to find out more about campaigns /alternative life-styles is undoubtedly to GET INVOLVED! Meet the people face-to-face and give what time and energy you can; you’ll gain a much clearer picture of the issues and those affected most. Call the Freedom Network Action Line (number on our front page) for up-to-date information about forthcoming actions and events, or see our events list for this month.
If you send us some stamped, self-addressed envelopes (or your email address to [email protected]) , we’ll send you our events list each time it comes out. In addition,you can contact your nearest group to find out more about issues and actions in your local area. (see our FIN Contacts List)
