It was a busy weekend in Manchester, with ‘An Economy for the 99%’ conference put on by World Development Movement and Jubilee Debt Campaign, as well as the Anti-Fracking conference, and there’s more coming up.

First of all a big thank you to everyone who came along on Saturday, it was a fantastic day made possible by a lot of work by the WDM and JDC staff, some brilliant speakers, and of course the 200 plus people who attended. There will be some audio and visual recordings from the conference which will be going up soon for those who missed out.

And if you’ve been inspired to take action, do get in touch via the email address on the ‘about’ page, we’ll be having our first group meeting in the very near future. Next weekend too the South Manchester group will be running a stall at Chorlton’s Big Green Festival, which is taking place at St Helens Church on Edge Lane, and they’d love people to get down and give them a hand (and enjoy the festival of course!).

There have been a couple of posts on the main site this last week too about the food campaign that might be of interest, here and here…
