Why are we walking along the rivers and canals of west London on

23 October?

 

Increasingly poor people in India are being moved off their land in the name of development. They get little or no compensation even though their families may have lived there for generations. With no land and no work they have virtually no choice but to join other destitute people on the outskirts of cities.

 

In 2012, 100,000 people will be marching to Delhi demanding land rights. This month-long March for Justice is part of a campaign organised by the grassroots movement Ekta Parishad.

 

Please help support the marchers. These people have few resources but they are going to walk tall in Delhi. They are contributing handfuls of grain to food banks, when they can afford it, but the march needs more support.

 

£30 will pay for a marcher to walk to Delhi

 

We will be walking from Osterley Lock to Greenford, Section 8 of the Capital Ring walk (4.5miles), meeting at 11am on Sunday 23 October at Boston Manor tube station.
