Dear Friends ***************** The Greater London Authority is holding a Holocaust Memorial Day Commemoration on Wednesday 23 January, 6:00pm at Liverpool St Station, London. The commemoration will include a reading of the Holocaust Memorial Day Statement of Commitment and speeches by: ***************** Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London; - Bea Green, one of the Kindertransport children; - Richard Stone, the Lawrence Enquiry; - Jack Gilbert, Pink Triangle Coalition; - and Brenda Ellis, Greater London Action on Disability. ***************** Name: mailing from Stonewall For more details on this event, or to find out about Holocaust Memorial Day events in your area, contact us on: City: <info@stonewall.org.uk> - SATURDAY 26 JANUARY 2-3pm Pots and pans protest at the World Bank, New Zealand House, Haymarket SW1, London SW1 Tube: Piccadilly or Trafalgar Square Dear Sisters and Friends, ** We want to show international support for our Argentinian sisters who are raising the voice of grassroots women. ** In response to the collapse of the economy, millions of people have taken to the streets to demonstrate their total rejection of all political parties and politically-aligned trade unions and NGOs. In addition to the well-established cacerolazos, a pots and pans protest, self-mobilised assemblies are being held in neighbourhoods all over the country. ** The Sindicato de Amas de Casa de Santa Fe (Housewives Trade Union), an autonomous grassroots organisation, is holding women’s assemblies in the poorest neighbourhoods and is circulating the attached Women’s Manifesto. ** SAC co-ordinates the Global Women’s Strike in Argentina and is part of our international network, WinWages,* which includes organisations of domestic workers, Indigenous and other workers, sex workers and other grassroots women, in Guyana, Peru, India and Uganda, as well as other women’s organisations in Ireland, Spain and the US. The Strike network extends to women in over 60 countries. ** We are calling a ‘cacerolazo’ in London and asking women in these networks to have cacerolazos on the same day. We focus on women because we carry the greatest yet the least recognised burden of policies of genocide and theft imposed by the IMF/World Bank and implemented by corrupt politicians, trade unions and NGOs. ** The ‘cacerolazo’ we propose in London welcomes all women, children and men but particularly Argentinian women and all Latin American, Indigenous and other women from countries of the South. ** Join us next week. We invite people to speak out about how women and girls are fighting against globalization in our home countries and here. Following the wisdom of the Argentinian movement, speeches on behalf of politically-aligned organisations are not welcome. ** And of course, don’t forget to bring pots and pans! ** Please circulate this invitation to your networks. ** Called by: WinWages (Women’s International Network for Wages for Caring Work), Red Internacional de Mujeres por un Salario para el Trabajo de Cuidado, Crossroads Women’s Centre, 230A Kentish Town Road, London NW5 2AB - Tel: 020-7482 2496 ** Fax: 020-7209 4761 Name: Nina Lopez-Jones and Didi Rossi City: <crossroadswomencentre@compuserve.com>http://womenstrike8m.server101.com - What a very useful site - particularly for visitors to London.

However, the facility has been stretched with some of the more lengthy entries. - Up until now we have archived these and provided a link through to the longer text but may have to consider restricting the amount of information entered in this way. - But we wouldn't want this to be seen as restricting access to information, but we may have to think of (and are open to suggestions for) ways of including longer postings from groups who are not part of the Women in London directory. - Also just to remind any women's groups or groups working around issues relevant to women that have a web site can list your web site on microsyster's site where you can "Promote a Women's Web Site". - We hope that groups who are interested in having links will also want to use this facility.

Letter from Reaching Out Investigative Committee Reaching Out: The Mayor's consultation The London Assembly's role is to make sure that the Mayor listens to the people of London before making his decisions. For this reason, the Assembly wants to hear about Londoners' experiences of Mayor Ken Livingstone's consultations to date. Over the last year, the Mayor has sought the views of Londoners in a range of different ways, including through surveys, People's Question Time, Meet the Mayor events, the State of London debate and invitations to comment on specific London strategies and policies. He has also conducted high profile consultations on issues like the Notting Hill Carnival route and plans for a congestion charge. The Assembly wants to ensure that London's new government is as inclusive and responsive as possible. We are particularly interested in any difficulties Londoners have encountered when participating in the consultation process and any improvements that can be made. Anyone wishing to make their views known can do so by contacting the London Assembly by email at greg.norton@london.gov.uk or by addressing responses to: Reaching Out Investigative Committee, c/o Greater London Authority Secretariat, First Floor, Romney House, Marsham Street, London SW1P 3PY The deadline for responses is 18 January 2002.

They will leave Stroud on Tuesday 6th November, and their six day walk will take them through Cirencester, Cricklade, Swindon, Marlborough, Newbury, Reading and Windsor, arriving in London on Sunday 11th November. They will present their postcard at 10 Downing Street on Monday 12th November. Carol Kambites and Grace Trevett are especially angered by the US and British Governmentsí lack of attention to the warnings by aid agencies, such as Oxfam and Christian Aid, that hundreds of thousands of people will die and millions will suffer unless there is a pause in the bombing to allow aid to enter the country before the Afghan winter sets in. Grace and Carol are calling for an immediate end to the war so that food and other aid can be delivered before the winter. They are asking women to join them on their walk for all or part of the way. They also want men and women to walk through towns with them and to offer practical support. Carol Kambites said Unless there is at least a pause in the war in the next week or so, there will be a catastrophe affecting millions of innocent Afghanis, who did not elect the Taliban and have absolutely no responsibility for Osama bin Laden. The impending catastrophe will dwarf the attacks on the World Trade Centre, and will harden opinion against the West. The only way to defeat terrorism is to tackle the causes. * * * * * Women Opposing War (WOW) * * * * * ** The provisional itinerary is as follows: ** Tuesday 6th November 8am: Leave from Stroud High Street (the site of the daily vigils for peace and justice). Walk via Cirencester to Cricklade. (approx. 20 miles) ** Wednesday 7th November 8am: Leave Cricklade and walk via Swindon to Marlborough (approx. 20 miles) ** Thursday 8th November 8am: Leave Marlborough and walk via Hungerford to Newbury (approx. 18 miles) ** Friday 9th November 8am: Leave Newbury and walk to Reading (approx. 17 miles) ** Saturday 10th November 8am: Leave Reading and walk to Windsor. (approx. 18 miles) ** Sunday 11th November 8am: Leave Windsor and walk to west London. (approx. 18 miles) ** Monday 12th November: Walk to Downing Street (approx. 7miles), and present postcard at 2pm ** We welcome support of all types, especially walkers (although the core walkers will be women, men are very welcome to join us through the towns) and overnight accommodation.

Excellent Site Excellent Site Excellent Site Excellent Site Name: Tina City: - Message from BBC Television - Looking for potential contributor. I work for BBC Religious Broadcasting. We are currently developing a series for BBC 2, which which would involve people undertaking 'spiritual journeys' of various sorts - some traditional, some more 'New Age' orientated. We are looking for a woman who would be interested in spending a week at a New Age women's retreat in Canada - taking part in a variety of group experiences based on a range of Aboriginal, Native American and Tibetan philosophies (meditation, dance, drumming, sweat lodging etc.). Ideally, this woman would be someone who does not have an existing interest in New Age spirituality, but who is open to the possibility of changing her life and perspective. We are particularly keen to hear from someone who, because of income and home responsibilities, would not normally have the opportunity to have this kind of experience. I must stress that this series has not yet been commissioned, but I would be keen to hear from anyone who may be interested in taking part. Thank you for taking the time to read this far.

City: Prague, <hali@volny.cz>http://www.hali.cz - Hello all, My name is Kate, and I work in the press office at the Royal Court Theatre in Sloane Square. Currently, we are putting on a production called Blasted by Sarah Kane. Some of you may have heard of this playwright, and others have not, but I do think that her works will be of interest to many of you. Sarah Kane's career was short lived; she committed suicide two years ago, and in her wake she left five plays of great controversy that deal with current women's issues of violence, love and power. You are welcome to email me at rct_press@hotmail.com for the details of the show. thanks, Kate Hill Name: Kate Hill web search City: London,Country: England <rct_press@hotmail.com>http://www.royalcourttheatre.com - i'm working on the following and any comments would be greatly appreciated:CONCEPT THEORY surfing City: london,Country: uk <royaltie@ftnetwork.com> - Easter in Prague.

City: - You could apply for an 'e-enabled computer' if you can show how it could help you as an individual or a group have a 'positive impact on your community'. The scheme is called 'BT Community Connections' and after a bit of internal struggle about keeping this information to ourselves, we thought we should let others know about it before we apply ourselves. The next deadline is very soon - 6th April 2001 - please go to the web link below to make an online application. Thanks to Hackney CVS 'Spark' magazine for alerting us (and now you) to this. Name: microsyster The following are the email and web links for the BT site City: <btcommunityconnections@leaevents.co.uk>http://www.btcommunityconnections.com - We invite you to visit Prague in spring. For more information www.hali.cz Name: HALI s.r.o. City: Prague,Country: Czech Republic <hali@volny.cz>http://www.hali.cz - In response to the last message about links. We are hoping to offer this option in the near future. In the meantime anyone who wants to "promote a women's web site" can do so on microsyster's own site. This is not only to provide the opportunity to let other women know about sites that offer women orientated information and advice, but also an opportunity to show how women as web designers, etc., are using the internet in a positive and hopefully challenging way. Name: microsyster City: <microsyster@gn.apc.org>http://www.gn.apc.org/microsyster/wws-int.htm - I think the page is excellent, easy to navigate, and will prove useful. I would like to suggest a page with links to individual women's web sites, mine for instance, because I want to get information out there freely and links are helpful. I would certainly put a link to yours. Name: Carolyn Sweeny link from the greenevents site City: london, <create2001@aol.com>http://www.selfanalysis.co.uk and http://www.goddessaday.com - Dear Guestbook Users and Visitors - when we first started the 'Guestbook' facility on Women in London, we were not sure exactly how it would be used (and if you look at the list we have in the introduction, our suggestions do not really match what has been said). We are thinking of re-starting the guestbook facility, as it is now quite big, but more importantly not necessarily with the best options for those who want to use it. So, we would like to hear from you, whether you are some one who has used the guestbook and / or regularly views it for your opinions. You can either just put your comments here, or email use direct, or you can use the survey form (see webe link below) from last summer and just to the last section on the guestbook (this allows you to be annonymous). As the second most used section of the site, we are trying to be 'responsive to need' (to use the current jargon!)
