We're here to promote, support and instigate free press campaigns and initiatives. To promote debate around the role of the press and how citizens can get involved. We'd like to think of ourselves as a grassroots free speech activist network and a media think-tank (with a special focus on AlJazeera.)

By fighting a war on drugs the government has increased the problems of society and made them far worse. A system of regulation rather than prohibition...
