discussing why it’s such a vital space for organising (00:01:13 –

the lowdown on developments with Green & Black Cross’
restructuring, a report from protests against the DSEI arms fair,
and a tribute to departed comrade Donald Rooum (00:11:20 –

NEWS, the audio bulletin of the network of anarchist and

months (00:43:10 – 00:52:13)

to us about the group’s campaign against sweatshop labour in the
