-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Fw: [IndiaFDIWatch] Petition on Common Wealth Games Date: Thu, 24 Jun 2010 09:14:24 -0700 (PDT) From: Other Aspect <editor_otherasp...@yahoo.com> To: marxistfr...@yahoo.co.in Dear All, This is a short request for you to do something simple that makes a difference: sign a petition! We are asking you to stand with informal workers and slum dwellers of Delhi who are being hammered by the preparations for the Commonwealth Games which will be held in India for the first time this October. We are asking you to join us in opposition to the Indian Government's displacement of thousands of slum dwellers and their attacks on the livelihoods of tens of thousands of informal workers from street vendors, bicycle rickshaw pullers, rag pickers to homeless all in the name of burnishing the image of Delhi as a world class city and attempting to sweep the poor off the streets and byways to make them invisible to athletes and guests at the Games. We are asking representatives of the Commonwealth Games Federation to assure that we receive justice as well as the sponsoring committee from various countries sending teams to compete from area that were formerly part of the British Empire. We are sending these petitions to anyone who will listen, including the Queen, in a plea for justice before tens of thousands lose homes and jobs because of the Games. Join us by signing the petition at www.commonwealthgam escampaign. org <http://www.commonwealthgamescampaign.org/> <http://www.commonwe althgamescampaig n.org/ <http://www.commonwealthgamescampaign.org/>> For more information consult the website for a backgrounder and facts behind the campaign as well as the relief and justice we seek. There is also a list of the Commonwealth countries. If you want to do more, join us in soliciting more signatures, sending this petition on so that it becomes viral, joining with us on Facebook, and email directly to various countries to ask them to intercede. Citizens and unions across the globe are joining the campaign, so if you want please reach out in that way as well. Anything you can do will be appreciated. It's important!
