today I had the time
tears are streaming
I've been living my whole life on the other side of a real, but imaginary fence, like the one in Calais...only it kept people having a shit time much further away from the UK
and I could know about it but I didn't have to really know about their lives,
their shit lives are now here in northern europe and I know about them

Too skool for cool
Yes, though nothing anywhere online about it. Apparently some volunteers were eventually permitted to deliver food.
Trying to find out if it's still locked down and to what extent etc

I'm in touch with volunteers on the ground. This isn't the case. You can still walk aid on to the camp. You can't take a vehicle on yo site. If you want to distribute from a vehicle then you would be need to this from the car park. Although obviously this means your aid may not reach the more vulnerable members of the camp who may not get to the queue in time, if at all.

ZIMARKO JONES...won the 1st Round
2nd round voting has started, you know what to do? Click the link, scroll, tick the box by his name, scroll and click on Votez. Sharing your location is optional.
For those of you that don't know Zimarko is a motived and inspirational resident of the camp in Calais...
The fact that the contenders are anti migration/immigration/right wing just makes helping Zimarko win even sweeter
Qui a fait l’actu en 2015 ? Votez pour le deuxième tour ! (sondage)

Awesome report and action Fingers!
Am so fucking angry at this hideous situation, yet the love and humanity shown by such a diverse collection of people will, one day win.
For us to get over is so hard, dog in kennels, baby looked after for days etc. that the cost could be better used without our physical presence. What would be useful for you for February? Do you have dates in mind? We can easily get you your ferry ticket, a Eurostar to Calais or some such. PM us and we can sort something out.

Anyone feeling a bit meh after Christmas indulgence and looking for something they can do to help..... Food is running really low in Calais and Dunkirk. Any donation (however small) will help keep thousands of people fed. These guys supply both camps with cooked food and with food parcels so they can cook themselves

Manter What was this thread called before the name change and why was the name change necessary?
ETA: I think I have worked it out now
...the name of the facebook group has changed and now the thread name has changed to match that? Okay well fair enough however it's a shame this thread name doesn't acknowledge Dunkirk too which people are much more aware of and helping in too now.
