Candle Day

Amnesty International's annual fundraising Candle Day will take place on Friday, October 25 and Saturday, October 26. Volunteers will be in the streets selling badges and candles to support Amnesty's work.

The organisation defends the victims of human rights abuses all over the world. Believing that its effectiveness depends on complete independence and impartiality, it accepts no government or corporate funding.

To become involved in Candle Day, or for more information on Amnesty, ring Ian Coleman on (02) 9281 4188.

about GLW - the need for alternative media

In these days of growing media concentration, Green Left Weekly is a proudly independent voice committed to human and civil rights, global peace and environmental sustainability, democracy and equality. By printing the news and ideas the mainstream media won't, Green Left Weekly exposes the lies and distortions of the power brokers and helps us to better understand the world around us.

Green Left Weekly, launched in 1990 by progressive activists to present the views excluded by the big business media, is now Australia's leading source of local, national and international news, analysis, and discussion and debate to strengthen the anti-capitalist movements.
