Fundraising and politics.

At previous meetings we have agreed on what we would like: to own a building. This takes money so we need to fundraise, come with suggestions or enthusiasm (or both)

There are still some outstanding political issues: NGOs, violence, veganism, religious groups, ecological emphasis. It would be good to get some agreement on what kind of centre Leeds wants.
On another note I think it would be good if we all got a bit more understanding of the
wider movement of social centres so I suggest we read about some others on

I suggest we start with Cowley club: big questions.

There are some longer pdfs that would (probably) be worth reading:
