ASMAA's WEBSITE IS NOW UPDATED WITH NEW CAMPAIGNS AND PROJECTS
Dear supporters
The ASMAA website has now been updated with more information about two of our latest projects. The STOP 5G campaign, and the launch of our flagship superstore in Lagos.
You can read more about each here:
5G – http://asmaa-algarve.org/en/5g
ASMAA Shop - http://asmaa-algarve.org/en/asmaa-shop
If we are to be as successful as we were in raising awareness about the fracking risk across the Algarve and STOPPING, its going to cost money, require our total commitment and loads of research. It’s going to once again place enormous pressure on our small team. But we are willing to do it, but we need your support.
Anti 5G Campaign initial funding needs
1: Printing and distribution of flyers
2: Organizing a series of public information meetings in the Algarve (we have Portuguese and other nationalities experts already willing to share their research findings)
3: Travel and communications costs of the campaign. We have an opportunity to send one delegate as representative of Portugal to a “Strategic Conference held in the city of Kassel, Germany. The meeting takes place on February 29/March 1, and is organized by the European Citizens´ Initiative (ECI) „Attention 5G” We need to raise funds for air travel and for incidentals, as accommodation and local transport will be provided.
Our budget for these three initial actions is 2,832.67€. We needed to have these funds in our account before we can proceed by no later than Friday 14th February. We are grateful that we have received support for our planed trip to Germany and the costs for that trip is now fully covered by a very good friend of ASMAA. But it still leaves us with short 1,617.67€ … Please be generous as the 5G risk is indeed a very serious one.
In addition we still have to meet our monthly commitment for the anti fracking legal and campaign outstanding debt. Next payment is due on Monday the 10 February. We would like to pay at least 1000€ towards our outstanding bill by then. We take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you that made a contribution last month every single euro counted and was applied.
Again the funds that we received towards our legal debt was far short that what we need to pay this month. We request once again that each and everyone of YOU that has benefited from our effort be generous and help us make a payment to the legal team that worked very hard to assist.
In total we are short of 2,312.67€ … we HAVE to make a payment by Wednesday of 1000€ at the latest to the legal team. Support us with a donation the same way that we all went out of our way (and are deeply out of pocket) to ensure a safe fracking free Algarve for you and your family.
