Dear supporters. Despite tireless work by campaigners over the last two years, our Bristol 'Green Capital' council is pressing ahead with the destruction of food growing land and wildlife habitat in Stapleton. Sources say it will start this monday. This is a devastating failure of our systems and those in power to reflect concerns other than those of the few. The hypocrisy of this happening in Green Capital year and International Year of Soils is self evident. If you want to find out more about how to help to protect the land at this stage please email risingupland@riseup,net. If you can help in 2015 to continue the amazing work of the Blue Finger Alliance I'd love to hear from you. Please email: info@bluefingeralliance.org.uk. We would particularly love to hear from people who are interested in media and narrative work, community engagement, fundraising and website upkeep. Thanks all for your amazing support. We will probably be delivering this petition to the Mayor in the next couple of weeks, having been advised to keep it open until now. Please urge all your friends to sign it while they still can. Please follow us on @bluefingersoil or on facebook (Blue Finger Alliance) Thanks. Maddy and the team.
