Dear friends the Street Seen Network web page is now up and running and will be updated weekly. Of course there are many other various websites that offer avenues and forums for open debate and discussion and each is to be welcomed. I personally participate on a number of such sites and will continue to do so while also writing regularity for the Street Seen site and paper.

I provide my new mobile number attached for activists, don't worry about the 'static'.

Street Seen is open to those organisations and campaigns that are part of the growing movements for change seen around the world and indeed in Ireland. We in Street Seen instead of having a closed paper and site will offer those a voice who are not afforded such a voice elsewhere. We will campaign against Poverty, Sectarianism, Racism and all those important 'isms'. We shall also raise many international issues of concern which again tie into home, from Anti War, to the environment, from human rights abuses, to local homeless issues, from Anti Globalisation to local Anti privatisation issues.

We not only seek to provide a voice but will organise in a practical and real way. Our call at Xmas for sleeping bags and clothes was a real and practical step that dealt with the immediate reality, while of course rising the whole issue of homeless and how that can be dealt with. The response to that call -our first- was phenomenal with 350 Sleeping bags, Duvets and blankets and around 50 large bags of warm clothes and 50 sets of Scarves gloves etc collected in Belfast.


Similar we with others shall be mobilising to go in protest to the G8. In effect Street Seen not only seeks to reflect the movements in Ireland but to give voice to those many, many groups and organisations within it. Of course such is our diversity, as is the movements, that we hold many differing ideas across the whole host of the progressive through to the Socialist spectrums. Yet in the process of campaigning, discussion and debate can and will take place where each of us can make our case for change, fundamental or not. Street Seen will offer part of that avenue in Ireland while campaigning in a real practical grassroots way at a local, trade union and community level.

So attached is the link to be regularity updated.
