Justice for Ian Tomlinson
It's been announced that no criminal charges will be brought against the police officer filmed striking Ian Tomlinson at last year's G20 protest.
Ian Tomlinson was an innocent bystander who died shortly after this incident. No one has been held accountable for his death and justice has not been done.
Stand behind Ian Tomlinson's family now and continue the fight for justice.

Vince Cable - Stand Up To Murdoch
Rupert Murdoch has his sights set on gaining complete control of BSkyB and increasing his stranglehold on a free and independent media in the UK.

Let's stop Cow Factory Farming
Big agricultural companies plan to build US-style 'mega dairies' in Lincolnshire. Cows in these huge factory farms never see a blade of grass and remain in an industrial shed their whole lives. Experts warn that these cow factories would be bad for climate change, bad for cows, and bad for other farmers.
Lincolnshire councils have the power to stop these farms being built, and stop this US-style farming spreading to the UK. Help build the pressure - add your name to our petition now.

The Robin Hood Tax
A Robin Hood Tax on commercial high value banking transactions could raise billions to fight climate change, poverty and protect public services in the UK.
The tax wouldn't dip into the pockets of those who have been most affected by the financial crisis, the general public, but target risky behaviour by the banks.
Sign our petition now to tell David Cameron that it's time that the banks paid their fair share.
campaign
Academies: give us a say
The new government wants to make it easier for schools to become academies without consulting pupils, parents or teachers.
Email your MP now, telling them to support a better Academies Bill that makes sure local communities have a voice when it comes to local schools

Lift the Gaza Blockade
The global outcry over the aid flotilla attacks is working and the Israeli government has slightly relaxed the blockade of Gaza. But aid agencies, such as Oxfam, are saying that "this is not enough".
Together let's keep up the pressure on the Israeli government by writing to Foreign Secretary, William Hague, now calling for the full lifting of the blockade.
campaign
Gaza Aid Attacks: Take Action
Over 90% of us said we should join together to respond to the aid flotilla attacks by the Israeli army.

Stop Trump Evicting Local Families
US billionaire Donald Trump is trying to force out families standing in the way of where he plans to build a massive golf course. We want to make this as difficult as possible for him.
Add your name to the deeds of a plot of land slap bang in the middle of where Trump wants to build.

Fair Votes Now!
The protests and enthusiasm for electoral reform during the coalition negotiations showed that our voting system is broken and needs fixing.

Secret lobbying: we need new rules
The government has now announced plans to introduce a register of lobbyists. This is great news but lobbyists have vowed to fight it.
Let's make sure the government holds their nerve and brings in the new the law quickly.

make organ donation easier
Someone in Wales dies every 11 days waiting for a transplant, yet only 27% of the Welsh population are registered organ donors. The Welsh Assembly government wants to make organ donation opt-out rather than opt-in but at the moment they can't because the power lies with Westminster.
Email your MP now to make sure they support a policy which could really save lives.

Save the BBC - stop the cuts
The BBC has proposed making massive cuts including closing 2 radio stations, and halving the size of its web site. It's on the brink of surrendering to pressure from commercial rivals, who are still demanding even deeper cuts.
The BBC may not have many friends in the rest of the media, but public pressure has saved it before, and can save it again. Please join in by signing the petition.
campaign
Put voters in charge of MPs
At the moment an MP can lie, cheat, even get suspended from parliament, without losing their privileged position.
Following the expenses scandal, we heard MPs call for a cleaning up of politics. A Recall Law would support this clean-up and mean that if our MP broke their promises, we could call for a fresh vote and replace them.
Sign our petition now, to make MPs more accountable to us.

Blair at the Iraq Inquiry
Tony Blair appeared before the Iraq Inquiry on 29th January. Over 14,000 of us took action to make sure he faced tough questions from the panel. Now, it looks like he's going to be called to answer questions again, because he still hasn't addressed the real questions about why we went to war in Iraq. Take action to make sure we get proper answers when he faces the panel again.
campaign
Sudan - Take action now
Sudan is in crisis. Violence is threatening to break out again between the north and south of the country and the situation in Darfur remains dire. Tell the UK government to make sure that civilians are protected in Sudan.
