Letters on their way to Brussels

The women's visit letters calling on the EU to enforce the human rights of Palestinians being delivered to Jean Lambert MEP at the Eurostar terminal at St Pancras International Station. Jean Lambert will deliver them to Luisa Morgantini.

Hundreds of letters were collected during the women's visit and delivered by the Palestinian women to Frank Dobson MP for delivery to Douglas Alexander, International Development Secretary, calling on the British government to act... (See earlier post.)

Walsall

The visit helped develop twinning further in the Black Country, strengthened it in Walsall, consolidated it across the country....

[quote from Walsall organiser, more to come]

Twinning expands in the Midlands

We had 3 great events in Birmingham and time for a nice meal with women from BRTI and chance to rest. We have so many new activists in Birmingham and the visit really helped to pull in some of the newer people. My branch have passed a motion to send 2 delegates in April. ..

Telford Aboud link is actively being sought and they are hoping to send at least one person in April. Dudley are also keen and will be twinning with Kufer Namaa... They are also hoping to send someone in April ...There is also interest in Coventry and a new group is tentatively forming....
