We would like to share a message from our friends at Dignity for Asylum Seekers, Bristol:

One of our dear friends was detained this morning. We are very shocked and worried for his safety and wellbeing. We are having a meeting this evening (thursday 5th) at 7pm – Easton Community Centre to organise:

legal support
campaigning
emotional and practical support for him

If you want to help with one of these three things to help get him out of detention please come.

You can read more about the Dignity for Asylum Seekers group on their website, http://asylumseekersinbristol.blogspot.co.uk/.

Just a heads up for a campaign being run at the moment by another community organising group, ACORN Bristol. Their Easton group is fighting against agency fees and insecure tenancies for rented properties in the area. Their stated aims are:

1. Eliminate tenancy fees.
2. Stop monthly rolling contracts for renters.
3. Have letting agents and landlords give tenants the option for 3/5 year tenancies.

Take a look at the campaign page – http://www.acornbristol.org.uk/easton_says_no_to_fees_and_insecure_renting – for further details and to contact them if you want to get involved.
