<p><strong><a href="http://palestinecampaign.org/index7b-2.asp?m_id=1&amp;l1_id=3&amp;l2_id=19&amp;content_ID=1716">The Boycott VEOLIA Campaign – A Fortnight of Actions In February</a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">The campaign against Veolia is   intensifying. This follows the Russell Tribunal on Palestine findings   that Veolia is liable for serious violations of international human   rights and humanitarian law.  There is an added urgency because Local   Authorities in both South and North London are currently considering   Veolia for major contracts.</p>
<p>For more information about Veolia and why it is a key target of the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions Campaign see <a href="http://www.bigcampaign.org/veolia/">here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>A number of activities have been organised in February and so   we have a fortnight of actions on Veolia. Please support these and   circulate details of the events widely.</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="font-size:medium;">Protest at Veolia HQ in Islington: Tue 1 Feb 4.30pm</span></span></strong><br />
This protest is to make people aware of what Veolia are getting  up to  in occupied East Jerusalem and West Bank and our aim to exclude it  from  contracts in London. We’ll be holding signs, such as “Veolia Toxic   Wasters”, wear T-shirts with “Bin Veolia!</p>
<p>Profiteering from Palestinian Sufferings” and bring bin bags   addressed to Veolia with a message to bin its business serving illegal   Israeli settlements.</p>
<p>Veolia HQ: 154A Pentonville Rd, Islington N1 9PE</p>
<p>Buses: 30, 73, 205, 214, 476 or a short walk up the hill from King’s Cross</p>
<p>Organised by the North London Veolia Action Group</p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="font-size:medium;">Protest at : Sat 5 Feb 1.30pm-4.30pm </span></span></strong></p>
<p>Veolia is sponsor of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year   Exhibition. We held a very successful action at the same place in   October and were able to engage with the hundreds of Saturday afternoon   museum-goers.  This time we will have an outdoor display produced by   Richmond and Kingston PSC about Veolia and its activities in Occupied   Jerusalem and the West Bank. We will be handing out leaflets and   postcards.</p>
<p>The Natural History Museum, South Kensington SW7 5BD<br />
Organised by:  West London and Richmond and Kingston PSC branches (Exhibition Road entrance)</p>
<p>(Please also consider attending the fortnightly protest outside the   Ahava store in Monmouth Street Covent Garden -which is on the same day   from 12am- before the Veolia Natural History event if you can)</p>

<p><span style="font-size:medium;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Protest at Veolia HQ in Islington: Wed 9 Feb Lunchtime 1pm- 2pm</span></strong> </span><br />
The protest will focus on Veolia’s complicity in the transport  and  dumping of waste from Illegal Israeli settlements onto the Tovlan   landfill which is in the West Bank. We are asking everyone to bring   along a refuse sack – filled with some old newspapers say- so that we   can lay the bags on the steps of Veolia’s HQ (or at the front gate if   the gates are shut to us) . We will provide a simple large  A4 label  to   staple to each bag reading  ‘To Veolia – Stop Your Illegal Dumping of   Waste on Palestinian Land’.</p>
<p>We will of course take photos and video the event . Hopefully we can   spark copycat actions elsewhere. This is a joint event organised by  PSC,  ISM and other solidarity activists</p>
