Hello!
I’m Joel; I live in Bradford, West Yorkshire (it’s a glorious place,
come visit sometime).
My personal campaigning in Bradford mainly involves BANG (Bradford
Anti-Nuclear Group), BIASAN (Bradford Immigration and Asylum Support
and Advice Network), 1in12 Anarchist Club, climate change awareness,
anti-ID and database work and animal rights.
I’m vegan and am part of a co-operative which coordinates an organic,
vegetarian and fair trade café and radical social centre in the city
centre.
But enough about me!
Campaigns Rep is about activism and direct action, awareness raising
and education. It’s about allowing and encouraging DFs all over the
country to participate and shape our political and radical front; a
front which is of huge importance as our movement rises, and the
current capitalist economy sinks.
It’s also about having a bloody good time: learning things, making
friends, feeling empowered and invigorated.
The campaigns this year were voted to be – Stop the Traffik, No
Nuclear Future and Palestine/Israel.
For more information on those, please go visit the ‘Campaigns’ section
of the website.
I’m really chuffed that we have three focuses this year rather than
one, and very excited (in a way that is impossible to translate via
keyboards and Times New Roman!) about the coming year.
Please get in touch with any questions, events or ideas.
Love

The District Fellows Movement is the 16-20 year old members of the co-operative educational youth charity, the woodcraft folk, whose ideology is based on the principles of equality, peace, social justice and co-operation, with an emphasis on the empowerment of young people.
DF meetings usually consist of a group of like minded individuals meeting up at a regular time and place (someone's house, or a pub for instance, or even a community hall if the group is large enough) and taking part in usual woodcraft activities. These activities range from co-operative games, orgainising events, workshops and discussions, and general socialising!
The DF movement also meets up on a national basis frequently, to hold both social, educational events and business events allowing everyone to be involved in the running of DF's...
