Victories
There's been 2 good news stories today which I thought were worth posting about, if for no other reason, then to show that doing even a small thing like emailing in a complaint or donating a fiver can make a difference.
Now I don't think i've even ever read Bitch but thought it was pretty cool that their appeal which was going around the houses in the last few days managed to raise the $40,000 they were aiming for.
The more important piece of news is that pestering power worked to stop Babi Badalov from being deported by Azerbaijan Airlines tomorrow! This appeal has also been going round the email lists in the last few days. The fight to keep him here is obviously not over but hopefully he will get the chance to appeal his case before they try to deport him again. Shows that it is well worth taking the time to send emails/faxes or make a phone call.
